That's my kind of wedding.

My wedding was a tiny one. We had only the closest family with us, our friends didn't even know about it. Still it was a wonderful wedding in a wonderful environment.
Later that year we threw a big party with open bar and everything. It was the year Mr J and I both turned 30 so we took the opportunity to celebrate our birthdays and the fact that we got married. It was a great party!

Ooh, so does that mean we're going to get married while no one's looking, then hold a huge Thread™ party afterwards? Sounds good to me.

It can't mean that, because this Thread™ will be DEAD by the time you're married.

DIE, THREAD™!

Is that a testament to my tendency to procrastinate?

I like that name. It'll look good scribed into my custom FiveSeven as I mow down my pathetic enemies in the First Thread War. (FWT)
