uh-oh, guess who's gonna be a ring bearer

[sniffa]

that's right: me!
:bounce:

not onLy do i get to attend Lostinva and haruka's wedding, i'm gonna be in it. w00t!

that's exciting enough on it's own, but topping that is the uniform i'LL be wearing...



i've been forbidden from attending the ceremony (though, i've been given carte bLanche for the reception... though i'm sure i'LL get into more troubLe than that there) in "fuLL regimentaL" (ie: commando) mode, and bi-baby and cboy4 have to check me to make sure i abided by that one ruLe.

yeah, sniffa's getting a kiLt.

[LostinVA]

1. All men look good in kilts

Especially ones with nice legs.

You and my nephew will look tres good in full dress kilt kit and the National Irish tartan. Although I'm still nervous almost you sneaking in regimental....

[sniffa]

3. as i said above

i'm getting inspected. no worries.

the reception's another story.

[LostinVA]

12. If you didn't misbehave at the reception, I'd be disappointed

[cboy4]

52. ...

:spray:

You will look so handsome! :loveya:

[LostinVA]

53. He's nice and tall, too

[sniffa]

56. eek!

make sure you teLL me so. :loveya:

[Pacifist Patriot]

2. Wowza! I love full regimental. At a wedding I officiated in Feb...

the bride surprised the groom with a bag pipe "serenade" at the start of the reception. Fifteen year old bag piper did an amazing job. That was her gift because he couldn't afford to have a kilt made for the wedding and the groom is big into his Scottish heritage.

I sure hope someone posts pictures of the wedding.

[sniffa]

5. i'm excited

maybe i'LL Learn a few notes on the pipes, so i can ruin the speciaL day.

[LostinVA]

6. We're having a piper, too

Maybe for the processional, and definitely to "pipe us" all out.

TRES COOL.

We're Irish-American, but are incorporating different Celtic elements.

The cake (we hope) will be a ginger cake base with Jamesons buttercream frosting. Haruka is actually calling the cake woman at 11:00.

[Pacifist Patriot]

9. You are killing me!

Have I mentioned my maiden name is Stewart and my boys are Liam, Colin and Aidan?

[LostinVA]

15. I love you! Fly in and officate!

[Pacifist Patriot]

20. Geez, it would have to be the Newark airport. Blech!

I'm seeing Orlando-Newark round trip this fall for under $200. What's the date?

[sniffa]

57. we taLking about fLying in tonight

it might be cheaper, and better for our shitbox, er, car.

it wouLd be my first fLight evah!

[Pacifist Patriot]

60. Humphf. The thought of someone's first flight ever being into Newark....

I admit I'm not rational when it comes to this though. I've had my worst travel experiences through there, but it wasn't necessarily Newark's fault. Just happenstance.

[LostinVA]

68. Newark sucks -- however, I hope what we PMed about can happen

That would be SO cool.

:pals:

[Pacifist Patriot]

79. My fingers are crossed.

[LostinVA]

80. Mine too, and

I just looked at your page -- tres nice.

[Hand]

86. Cringe...

Rest assured you would NEVER fly again! :scared:

[jmowreader]

90. That's where MY first flight ever was into!

Fort Dix, here we come!

[LostinVA]

67. Flying will be fun, but --

There's also an express bus from Boston into NYC. You could take the subway/train to town and we could pick you up. WAY cheaper than a flight.

Just an FYI.

[bicentennial_baby]

69. But I wanna take the boi on a plane!

:bounce:

[LostinVA]

75. Sorry -- hehehehhehe

I can't believe he's never flown.

[sniffa]

74. we couLd take the fung wah bus

but onLy if we're feeLing Lucky.

[Kat45]

83. You would have to be feeling really, really lucky to take that one.

:rofl:

[sniffa]

14. i Love bagpipes

:bounce:

[LostinVA]

76. I have a plan for you, my nephew, and the piper

Will be tres cool, if we do it.

[LostinVA]

13. I'll post a link to a flickr page or something

We're looking at October. Haruka is also calling around to some venues to see what dates are open.

[BarenakedLady]

4. Woot!

There better be pictures involved.

:woohoo:

[sniffa]

7. i don't know about that

you know how camera shy i am.

[Midlodemocrat]

10. .

:eyes:

:rofl:

[LostinVA]

17. OMG

[unpossibles]

8. that is awesome!

I love kilts.

your title reminds me of a funny story. At a friend's wedding, her kid (around 9 or so I think) was the ring bearer. He kept growling during the rehearsal, so his mom stopped and asked him if everything was ok, and he said, "oh yeah, mom! I'm the ring bear!"

hahaha. You could try growling. ;)

[LostinVA]

19. And that is why we are having an adult ringbearer

I have seen way too many of those scenarios (although yours is kinda funny).

[sniffa]

21. you know i'LL be growLing

or at Least snarLing.

[LostinVA]

23. That would so make me laugh

Damn, why did I just say that?!

[Shakespeare]

41. "That's why we are having an adult ringbearer"

And yet, you chose sniffa.

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Seriously, that's cool. LOVE the kilt, too.

[LostinVA]

42. Well, he's TECHNICALLY an adult

And, I know he'll be good during the ceremony. He can go bonkers at the reception.

It is a nice tartan, eh?

[tk2kewl]

11. The 4 yo nephew of friend was a ring bearer at her wedding and...

walked down the isle growling at everyone. Turned out he thought he was the ring bear. :D

[Midlodemocrat]

16. OMG!!! That is so funny. My son did the exact same thing

at my brother's wedding. He was two years old and would growl when he told everyone he was the ring bearer.

Fortunately, we were able to convince him not to growl in the church.

:rofl:

[asthmaticeog]

18. My best friend got married in a kilt.

In fact, his father, brother and the bride all wore the family tartan for the ceremony.

Anyway, that's pretty damn cool, have fun! :hi:

[wildhorses]

22. i didn't know they had set a date

i am SOo out of the loop:cry:

as for the kilt:thumbsup:

[LostinVA]

28. We haven't technically -- we just know October

Haruka is calling around to certain venues today to see what Saturdays are available. We'd love to have an outside ceremony in early-mid October.

[wildhorses]

30. that sounds wonderful...an autumn ceremony

i like it:bounce:

[LostinVA]

32. Us too -- and that area is pretty and usually still pretty nice that time of year

[wildhorses]

33. oh yes, the fall leaves should provide a colorful backdrop

cool brisk fall breeze...

so happy for you two:hug:

edited to ad...check your pm

[chemenger]

24. Just watch out for those updrafts, sniffa

n/t

[LostinVA]

25. He will be wearing something underneath for the ceremony

I don't care about the reception. It'll eb a bacchanal, anyway.

[bicentennial_baby]

26. And I'm gonna be the flowergrrl!

:bounce:

[LostinVA]

29. I am tempted to put that on the program

[bicentennial_baby]

31. Ha!

:rofl:

[PVnRT]

27. Filthy thievessssesss! The Preciousssssssssssssssss.....

n/t

[meegbear]

34. Are you getting the kilt only or the full dress?

I got mine of eBay from this site: http://www.house-of-scotland.com. They have the full gear.

[LostinVA]

36. Full dress -- rental

[meegbear]

37. Buy one ...

then you can be like me.

.

And yes, I am commando in that pic.

[LostinVA]

38. OOOO -- is that you?

Damn, you're a nice looking bear of a guy.

[meegbear]

39. Yep that's me ...

losing last year's Bear Contest. :cry:

[LostinVA]

43. That sucks that you lost it

I don't think I've ever seen a photo of you before.

[meegbear]

44. I'm actually supposed to be doing a kilt photoshoot ...

for a "naughty" site. I'll be posting some of those here (well, the not too naughty ones) after it's done.

[LostinVA]

46. You should post that one pic to some of the non-pervy kilt sites

They would totally post it.

[meegbear]

50. I'll keep it in mind ...

Have a great time at the wedding. Post pics :hi:

[LostinVA]

51. I will -- trust me

Hopefully, blackmail-worthy ones of certain DUers.

[JackBeck]

35. This is gonna be one kick-ass wedding.

[LostinVA]

40. I know! The reception will be so much fun

And, the ceremony will be tres nice. As Catholic as a wedding can be officiated by a Unitarian!

[Pacifist Patriot]

62. If I can work this out it would be an....

ex-Catholic Unitarian officiating a Catholic-like wedding. Is that even closer? :)

I was married when I was a Catholic. I could dust off the video and see if I recognize anything after 14 years.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

45. My dear sniffa!

How very cool!

Wish I could be there.......*sigh*

My oldest daughter wanted a piper at her wedding.....

She hired one, and he piped the whole wedding party and all of us from the church to the reception, which was a couple of short blocks away!

I will never forget walking down the residential sidewalk with the piper leading us....

It was fantastic! People were leaning out their windows......

:bounce: :bounce:

[LostinVA]

47. That's what we're going to do!

"She hired one, and he piped the whole wedding party and all of us from the church to the reception, which was a couple of short blocks away!

I will never forget walking down the residential sidewalk with the piper leading us.."

[CaliforniaPeggy]

48. You will love doing that..........

Thank you for the nice quote.....

That was really sweet of you......:hug:

[LostinVA]

49. What you said was very nice, so it deserved a quote

I want to be piped out to the "Minstrel Boy."

(And yes, I know the words.)

[youthere]

54. Men in kilts....hmmmm....

*dazed and dreamy expression* Sorry..got lost there for a second.

[LostinVA]

55. Hehhehehe

Even I think a man in a kilt is dreamy.

[NMMNG]

58. Woo hoo!

Congratulations. :toast:

[RevolutionaryActs]

59. Oh good lord.

GET HIM AWAY FROM THE LIQUOR BAR!


:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

[sniffa]

61. oh p'shaw

[LostinVA]

70. It will be tres fun -- we're putting little cameras on the tables

And, we want the photographer to video every bad thing everyone does.

[jpgray]

63. I'm just glad no Lord of the Rings references are mucking up your thread
