My Almost-daily Journal |
|
| About I love trying out new things, especially when it comes to internet technology. I never really kept a journal, but it's something that I've always wanted to do. Now, everybody will get a chance to look inside my twisted, and somewhat-warped mind.
I've also subscribed to Audio Blog, so a few times a week, I'll leave actual voice blogs. Very cool!XML Newsfeed Previous Posts

The Limits of Religion Danielle and I have been working hard to try and find a hall for our wedding. We've narrowed down our search to Addison Oaks and Glen Oaks. Both are operated by the same company. We really liked Addison Oaks... it's exactly our style of hall. Glen Oaks is just as posh, but it's out on the west side of town. The nice thing about Glen Oaks is that's where we had our first date that started it all. Since we'd like a spring wedding, we're limited to April 3 for Addison Oaks (our first choice) or May 1 for Glen Oaks. I actually made a verbal committment to Addison Oaks to lock in the April 3rd date. Guess what? Of all the religions in the world, Catholic and Greek Orthodox will not marry you during lent. What's lent? To me it's a sociologically-accepted means of keeping your populous healthy: fish on Fridays, and indulging less. People get fat during winter, and need a primer for spring to get back in shape. Works well. Personally, I could care less if we had our wedding on Easter, or better yet, Good Friday. Doesn't make a difference to me. However, most of our guests are going to be Catholic and Greek Orthodox, and we don't want to offend any of the ummm.... lesser minded. So, we're now trying to decide if we want to do the Glen Oaks gig. The nice thing about our wedding is that we plan on getting married at the hall, preferably outside. Glen Oaks and Addison Oaks have outdoor gardens where many wedding rituals take place. It's nice for everybody: we don't have to drive around from church to hall in a limo, plus we don't tie up everybody's entire day. The trick now is going to be to try and convince my parents' priest to break the rules and marry us at one of the Oaks. Greek Orthodox is pretty strict (even though they allow priests to be married), so I'm not counting my lucky stars. The other option is to find a Rabi to marry us, since we share some similar beliefs in reference to Jesus. Decisions decisions... posted by Dino at 12:38 PM (permanent link) |
