Discussion: On Gay Marriage In Ireland, From An Oklahoman In Love With An Irishman

Discussion for article #236576

Dear David–

We could grab fifty bucks, hop in a Hummer, train a pitbull to be our ring bearer…

Almost 20 years ago my wonderful wife of almost 35yrs (now)–
were traveling through Las Vegas to San Francisco as I was being job-transferred.
We had planned to renew our vows-- and did so at the Graceland Wedding Chapel with ‘Elvis’ presiding.

I have a longtime freelance client in Vegas and he and his girlfriend attended garbed head-to-toe in leather.
We flew in my-better-half’s best-friend as bridesmaid-- and-- our (brilliant) dog-- a Beagle/Rotweiler named Highway (sporting a red tux-bowtie)-- was the ring bearer (we planted the ring box in a sliced tennis ball).
We video-ed the ceremony-- it was great fun.

Sometimes you have to make your own fun. Family-be-damned!
Go for it.
