Reading the comments on the last post, and being amused by the people who think *I* am ambivalent about marriage (Um. Not ambivalent. Opinionated. See this blog.)
Anyway, I was reminded of a conversation I had with an old friend when we got engaged.
Me: David and I got engaged! Yayyyyy!!!
Her: Oh. That's nice. I don't believe in marriage.
Me: ..........
Me: Um. It's not fairies. You don't have to DO it, but it does exist.

Wow!! I love total misinformed interpretation (ergo you must be anti-marriage because of your last post)! It just makes me laugh. But I loooove your response to your friend!!! I've had similar things said to me and I never came up with anything quite that quick witted in response. Bravo! (ok - my ! privileges are being revoked...)
haha. your response to "I don't believe in marriage" is the same as mine to "I don't believe in divorce." :P
"It's not fairies." Amazing!
I think we must have a friend in common! Except my dear friend continues to remind me that "most marriages end in divorce."
She went through a divorce when she was 26. I try to tell myself to be compassionate when I really want to throw a fit.
Also, fairies. Great response.
@Amber
Indeed. That too. That's another post.
I love you Meg!
And the only way someone could possibly believe you are not 100% in favour of weddings is if that was the only post of your's they'd read. : )
Sadness. But great response on your part! :)
I didn't believe in marriage, either, until I found the person I would marry.
She knows that every time she says that a wedding planner loses her wings, right?
"It's not fairies." That's awesome.
@Cat, "every time she says that a wedding planner loses her wings". Also awesome.
You guys (gals) crack me up, thanks for the smile!
seriously.
...are you ambivalent about ANYTHING?
Funniest response ever. Love it! =)
@Liz
Noooo....
rad. I love diarrhea of the mouth that seems to run rampant with our nearest & dearest when we bring up our upcoming marriage.... People just can't help themselves.... Good thing both my fiance & I believe in marriage. WHEW! :)
clap clap clap clap clap clap clap
lol!
Ha ha, genius Meg. And ha ha, Liz :)
Right. So with you. My MOTHER, when called to tell her about the upcoming nuptuals, said "I'm not really in to marriage."
WTF? Great for you, mum, but how about "congrats" first, at least?
Jeezh. And then she went out and did some vintage digging for us. Weird.
Living in San Francisco of all places, you should know we do exist. Way to go Meg, your comment killed a fairy.
Yeah!! Best response ever!
That's funny.
you're pretty much fucking awesome, meg.
:)
CLAP YOUR HANDS RIGHTTHISMINUTE AND SAY "I BELIEVE IN FAIRIES."
