h.d.e. rushin,
A wedding is great but kind of empty without the right one to marry. Great poem I enjoyed the statement in simplicity. It is good to be married and also to not. Both are a gift in their own way.

thanks Kathy. i've actually never been married. What am I missing? People seem to screw up celebrations. Thanks for your insight my friend...dana

Dana,
You got it. I was glad to read your response. I know many want a spouse. A lot is required and when it's right a person will know.
Bless you much!
Kathy

I was meaning to ask you if you would not marry me... I didn't get you this ring and im not on my knees so if you please would reconsider my betroth I would be so very distraught should you accept this bunny to wed oh how my heart would dread the potential of your treads upon this broken head crowned with a not so smart fellow from the start:) This made me laugh so hard dearest Dana you are a samurai with that pen of yours

A very interesting concept indeed! No sense sending out any RSVP's I guess.

“No husband.” That was very clever. Humorous and simple. I liked it!

A wedding to satisfy society's praise of accomplishing marriage, settling down, showiness and escape the never ending questions of when are you going to get married, don't you want a husband, don't you want a family blah blah! A wedding to symbolize bliss generated with or without a partner, a bliss that's cultivated in the complex being of ourselves. A wedding to say f**k you to an overrated ceremony and gender norms. I love this poem. It makes me think about the grunt work of finding peace and happiness with myself and not desiring a partner to satisfy what I think society expectations are, all with good humor! Well done!

Kind regards,

Kianna

thanks Kianna. We went to the registrar at Macy's for my sisters wedding. She wanted (the obligatory) china, cooking wear, table settings, sheets, with an emphasis on silk since she is allergic to cotton...lol. Her marriage lasted all of 17 months before she found out that her husband wouldn't work and had this penchant for hitting her in the head..I love your review. It means that things can unravel even before the last of the fake china sets are unpacked. I agree. There is much grunt work in our search for peace. It never ends....dana

I hate that happened to your sister. Hope she's doing alright!
