Tri-me,

Thank you so very, very much for your kind gift of words. And of love and good karma and a big chunk of bling. Intertwining names? What an appropriate idea! That really requires more careful though. No hasty moves here.

Lizzy,

Tri-me has agreed to be a bridesmaid and help me find a wonderful dress, would you like to join us? She'll gladly buy you lunch. Perhaps Laurie can come along to offer her thoughts on the ceremonial exchange of loving words. She'll likely buy us some champagne.

Thank you all. This is the happiest day of my life.

Linda. (Mrs. Perth) tee-hee

Oh, Tchoco! Dear Tchoco, how could I forget you?! Come with us, please. French, such a lovely language. You can sing for us before, during and after the ceremony. Does Ave Maria sound good in French?

I must put my Trousseau together! I'm so very, very happy!!

[Ah, lunch] Yes, of course, Linda, I'll accompany you. Now, you're going to want honest opinions on the dresses, right? Not that [sometimes encountered in life], "Oh, it looks great!" that some girlfriends have been known to give when they actually were and it looked terrible. I pledge you my honesty, which you've certainly gotten so far. But, then, we all have our own lessons to learn, don't we? [I promise not to whisper, "She could have done so much better."]

What time do we meet and where?

It'll be interesting to see the reaction when Vince gets in here and reads this:

Lizzy.

"Too controlling. Run for your life."

The man was practically on his knees last night, even giving Miss. Lakeside the opportunity to get rid of him for good, him a self confessed drunken old troll, she could have done all the posters here a favour by telling him to go. But did she?
Nope.
So who was in controll there may I ask?

Lizzy.

Okay, let's just say that ya' got what ya' deserved with this one

I'm going to have to mention that nowhere have I seen any apology from linda Lakeside to Vincent, re the little incident over the weekend Seems to me like Vince was the one who was prepared to forgive and forget. Again who had the control?

Vincent old man, you apear to be losing your touch.
How do you feel?

Oh my happy day I will be your maid. One request, I would like a dress like this, it will cover up my problem areas. I will start sending out incitations to your shower. Where will you register Sears, Eatons, The Bay?

That dress is going to cover your problem areas??? Are you troubled, Tri-me? Have you many problems in your life? Well, as you've so graciously accepted, I guess. We can even have blinking lights installed to further divert attention from your little problem.

Lizzy, I sense a turning of the tides. Do you like my new sneaks? I'll let you know later, about lunch (at your house, preferably in the basement behind a bunch of boxes).

Linda.

PS: Wedding registry at Tiffany's.

Oh, yes....at my house, you'll be treated to those dark and dank sandwiches with the cardboard texture that always seem appropriate for such occasions.

However, the lunch I had envisioned was at that little shop that, ironically, just happens to be situated right next to Tiffany's. Imagine. But, I guess, it really is more important to have a meal befitting the occasion. Tri-me will certainly get off light. Since my house only has a crawl space, please come dressed for the occasion.

May I bring a sleeping bag and toothbrush? As for the meal, yes, I can taste the ashes already. I've heard it said, that one can develop a taste for almost anything. When starving. I had imagined lunch at the Russian Tea Room. I hang on to that hope with every fibre of my being.

Linda.

Excuse me ladies...
but which gentleman in the room gave
you permission to speak, hmmm?
Kindly be quiet.
Menfolk do not wish to listen to the prattle of you women.
It offends the ears and tires the soul.

Nope.

Obviously Linda's actions speak louder than her text.

How do you feel?

Strangely lighthearted....

<getting bottle of Remy Martin and two glasses>

Sirus, I've been meaning to ask...
how about being my best man?

Linda,
I'm becoming a little concerned at the tone of your text.

[Tee-Hee ~ He's all yours, Linda .]

Happy trails to you, until we meet again............uh, yes, of course, and you may even want to leave a sleeping bag and toothbrush at my house.

Holy Matrimony!!

When did all this happen??!!!?

Linda Lakeside betrothing Vince Perth?

A name change is a grand idea.

I've always been fond of the name: Malmsey

Perth could become: Mr. Malmsey Perth Darling
Linda would then be known from now on as : Mrs. Darling

I am placing all my money on: Crusty

Champagne is on me.
Linda, I will put this as subletly as possible...I THINK YOU ARE MAKING A MISTAKE...But I will support your decision to go through with this...this....travest....I mean wedding.

Laurie
p.s. it IS a very good ring.

Your words were very harsh Laurie,
and tonight I'm in no mood to fight...

<pours another obscenely large whiskey>

Perth baby, you'll see things clearer in the morning.

*pours a glass of champagne and crumples up the piece of paper on which I have written:
"Dearly beloved we are gathered"
in an attempt to come up with fitting vows...*

It's gonna be a long night....

you are not quite drunk enough my dear.
how about this...

I submit myself to your thoughts and the total understanding that I don't need to be always right.I will live first in giving to you, loving you, obeying you, caring for you and ever seeking to please you because there is peace and happiness to be had with you.

Perth, honey-sounds like you are capable of writing your own vows.

I will however be 'suggesting' to my friend Linda that she put something in hers aboot you "giving up the drink" for her.

An easy to swallow request, I'm sure...considering the peace and happiness she brings you with her electronic self. Ah! Romance! Who said it was dead??!?

*blows on her feathery pen and sighs*


p.s. Now that I don't need to write the vows, I can get busy ordering the His & Hers monogrammed, Egyptian cotton towels.
Do you have a color preference?
