Horror Wedding

[Rayne]

@Caenxavier - Unfortunately, we can't get Bruce because he doesn't do 'private' weddings, but did you click on the link where he DID marry a couple at a zombie wedding (it was at a convention)?

@Ferret - We NEED you to come...This will be the HDC get-together that we have contemplated for years and years!

@Ferox - That's sad...BUT...your idea is AWESOME! :D

@Cheeba - A BABY?!...So, you guys are finally gonna do it...That's huge...I wish you the best of luck. :)

@Nova - Well, I'm still kinda nervous about it, and I'm trying to shake off my "What's the point in getting married?" attitude...Somehow, I guess I just feel like I should...And...Dustin has asked me so many times, my reasons for NOT doing it are getting weaker...lol...We've been living together for 6 years...I guess it's time

@Chrono - After waking from my dream and envisioning all of this in my head...The wedding, the castle, the cake, all of you guys...YOU looked just like this:


@Elvis - You have no idea how much I WISH I had enough money to fly ALL of you here...BUT...If you can manage to find a way to get here, we ARE trying to arrange a way to pay for guest accommodations at Dustin's hotel!...It's a Hilton extended stay, so every room is like an apartment...The rooms have livingrooms, bedrooms, bathrooms, office areas with computers, dining areas, and kitchens (complete with dishes, utensils and pots & pans)...We can probably get a wedding party/family member discount...AND if you guys choose a 'buddy' and double up (like maybe Nova and Chrono together, for example), we can get the rooms that have 2 bedrooms in them (1 bedroom has a king-sized bed, and the other bedroom has 2 queen-sized beds)...These rooms also have 2 bathrooms in them...The hotel also has a shuttle that picks you up at the airport when you arrive, and takes you back when you're ready to leave.

The hotel also has a fireplace in the lobby, a putting green out back, a gym (fitness room) and an indoor saltwater swimming pool.




If you guys fly in, we will have to find a way to get you all to the castle...It takes about 40 minutes to get there from here.

Hey Guys,
I would love to come, will see wat can do, canny say at this point, depending on where I will be myself. But will definatley let you know at the 6 month mark.

If I do make it I hope a lot of my friends on here do aswell, we would have a pretty good party I think.

[roshiq]

Wow! that sounds super cool, man! I'll be more than glad if I can 'somehow' manage to fly over there & attend your awesome party. But at the moment I can only wish & dream about that. Anyway, best of luck for all the preparation for the program & Congratulations!:)

[Rayne]

@Elvis, Disease and Roshiq - If you guys can't make it, I understand completely...I know that I wouldn't be able to make it all the way over to where you guys are, even though I would dearly love to...But...If by some chance, there is any way at all, I would love to have you guys here with us :)

Even if you can't make it, we will be thinking about you...Oh...And talking about you :p


And now, I have dreamed about the DRESS (and black, thigh-high boots)!...I've heard the expression "dream wedding" many, many times, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't in reference to what's been happening to me..lol...This really WILL be a dream wedding!...I'll actually have to make this dress...It surely does not exist...Oh well, it might be fun :)

Hmm...I wonder if I will dream about the cake next...:D

[ChronoGrl]

Oooo - I would ABSOLUTELY reprise my Evil Alice to your wedding, or perhaps something more elaborate... :D

Not sure if you're down with Day of the Dead stuff, but I've always liked Day of the Dead wedding-themed stuff.



(I found that cake topper here along with some cool glasses: http://www.etsy.com/shop/Laserbird?ref=pr_shop_more)


My friends got married on Halloween and this was one of my favorite decorations they had:

[Despare]

Don't you guys wish you all lived in Michigan? ;)

[newb]

Congrats ......I can't make the wedding but I will try be there for the consummate.;)


really.....very happy for you guys.



and fuck facebook....this place is only a click away

[Rayne]

@Chrono - Thanks for the info...Have you seen the zombie-themed cakes and cake toppers?!

@F13thF - I hope you can make it

@Despare - I NEED you to be here with us...The trinity must be complete!...I hope I can get ahold of Austin

@Newb - I'm awaiting your excellent excuse for snubbing us all...*crosses arms*...*taps foot*...checks watch*...:p



Okay, to be serious for just a minute (yes, that IS very difficult for me!)...

I need to share something personal with you guys...and why the hell not? I've shared everything else with you for the past 8 years (OMG...ALMOST 8 YEARS!)

I don't want this wedding to be just a 'wedding'...I'm calling it a wedding/gathering...I do not intend for this to be just for me and Dustin, I want it to be for all of us...You guys are my family, my little horror family...We have all been to other forums, but how many people on those other forums do we know so much about?...How many of those 'other people' do we even care enough to learn about, or 'get to know'?...Have you ever wondered why this is?...I think I can explain MY personal reasons for feeling this way...Bear with me here:

My mother kicked out my dad when I was 2, because he impregnated someone else...That's no big deal, I never missed having a second parent because I never knew the difference...That isn't the point...The point is, my 'family' consisted of 2 people, my mother and me, until I was 10 years old when my sister was born...My mother didn't stay with my sister's father either, because he was an abusive alcoholic...That wasn't any big deal to me either, I was used to being a 2-member family, it was all that I had ever known...By the time my sister was old enough to actually talk to or have anything to do with, I was already moved out on my own (I left when I was 17, my sister was 7)...So, I never really got close to her, and after she became an adult, we realized that our personalities are completely incompatible (that's the nicest way I can put it)...My mother doesn't really know me as a person, she was always working to take care of us by herself (she was completely anti-welfare of any kind, and I am very grateful to her for passing that self-sufficiency on to me...I know that I will always survive, no matter what happens, without having to depend on anyone else), and I only saw her for a few hours a day, when she was winding down and didn't want to be bothered...She is retiring next month, and I have no idea how she is going to deal with it because 'working' is all she has ever known.

I was with Alex and Seri's dad for 17 years...We never had a wedding, we just went to a JP so that I could be covered on his health insurance and receive his social security if he was killed on the job...Romantic, huh?...As my kids got older, their dad became hostile towards all of us to the point that we no longer wanted to be around him, so I told him to leave...It was so easy to let him go, it was kinda sad upon reflection.

On the flipside, my sister has had 3 big weddings, that my mother attended...It would have been 4 weddings, but the one my sister planned when she was 17, ended up not happening...My mother said she didn't mind losing money (non-refundable deposits) on that one, because it was best to stop something if you feel it's going to be a mistake before it even gets started.

When I first contemplated all of this a few days ago, you guys were the first people I told (on Facebook)...All of you were very supportive and happy for us...Then my sister came in and said my mother wouldn't like it...*sigh*...She loves drama, and I don't, so rather than responding to her out in the open on Facebook, I sent her a message saying that I never imagined my mother would even consider being there...This was how that went in private messages:



Okay, why am I telling you guys all of this?...I'm trying to let you know that other than Dustin, Alex, Seri, Ash, and Jordan (Dustin's child from a previous relationship)...You guys are the only family I really have, and you are the only other people who will be invited to this wedding...Well, Dustin will be inviting 2 of his cousins, Sarah (+ her husband Jeff - remember GroundZero?), who you guys have 'met', and Jeremy, Sarah's brother...Maybe Sarah's mom, too...And possibly one of Dustin's co-workers and her husband...And I will be inviting my friend Sergio (some of you guys have 'met' him, too), and my friend Myke, who some of you are also familiar with.

Truly...That's it...That's our guest list.

We will be paying for everything ourselves, so it will not be a big, expensive, extravaganza...I'm still a cheapskate, and I'm not rich either...lol...I honestly don't think I will spend more than $5,000 for everything, and I expect more than half of that amount to be spent on accommodating guests, rather than on the wedding itself...This 'get-together' means a lot to me, not just the wedding aspect...I want it to be about our love of the horror genre, and the way that it has brought us all together.

This will be my first wedding, and Dustin's...It will also be the very first time that many of us finally meet each other in person. *YAY!*

I just told you guys my entire life story...Is that pathetic?...Maybe, but I don't care...I love my life, and I am an extremely happy person with an amazing family...All of you guys already knew that part, though :)


OH!...Many of you are extremely talented in so many ways, and I am hoping to utilize your talents as much as possible for this (not just to save money, I promise :p)...Remember SamTheEgg?...He makes movies now...He may very well end up being our videographer for this event...Who else is getting excited? :D

[TheWickerFan]

That's a shame about your mother and sister, but that's their loss.

I don't know you well or Dustin (what's his HDC name?), but I hope your wedding turns out just the way you dreamed it would.:)
