Congratulations!
Meditate, don't be negligent, lest you may later regret it!

the ceremony will be done by a female jodoshinshu priest who is a friend of mine, it will be done outdoors near the ocean, just family and 1 friend who is gonna take pictures!
2nd time is the charm right?
So, how is this working out for you 17 days later?

I'm sorry to hear that. Your social life is now over. Say goodbye to all of your friends. Because you will never see them ever again.
I've seen it happen before. Getting married is a faster way to disappear than publicly insulting a dictator in a third-world country.

That's what one of my friends told me after I got married. The racquetball, gym companions, chess team, started to fade away to the new responsibilities.
