Ooooooohh -- you both look so nice! I can hardly wait for more (Note to self: Ixnay on the uiltgay)
p.s. I think we may have to have an entire installment about our awesome tablemates on the boat!
I apologize to you guys for jumping in here, but her post just got to me! So..thanks for being such a terrific mom. You sound just like my mom. And believe me, my brother was/is so grateful for our mom's attitude! It has made his life so much easier than some of his friends' lives...their parents have a very archaic attitude..not good at all. Not to say that my brother has it easy, he doesn't. But, at least he had my mom in his corner while she was alive.Hi. I just want to say how happy I am for you and your partner. Your cake is beautiful. I am sure it tasted as good as it looks. You make me proud that I am a mother of a gay son. I hope one day that he meets his lifetime partner. As a Disney family, I know that his wedding ( and I say marriage, not civil union) will also be at WDW. The first time that we stayed at the Poly he was 2 months old. We have returned 3-4 times each year..And throw in 10 Disney cruises.. Yeah...We are Disney fanatics.....There just is not anything that can compare to the high we get from Disney...
I have lurked at the Gay and Lesbian site for 6 months or so. I must say that there is no hatred or arguing on this site...(If only there was no confrontations on the other boards...can we say Community Board?) Your family is so accepting and loving. I only wish my mom and dad (son's grandparent's) were as open-minded as yours.
I was raised in an extremely religious family. I mean right-wing, blessed with the holy-spirit, speaking in tongues, all night revival family. I always felt that they were judgemental. You will go to hell if you dress this way, smoke, drink, etc...As a teenager, I always debated my dad on these issues. I have always felt that God cares what is in your heart not what is on the outside..You know, what kind of person you are in the inside, not what you look like from the outside..After reading the posts on this site for 6 months now, I think all of you have more love, compassion, courage, and tolerance than all the other boards combined. It makes me proud to be a mom of a gay son.
I always argued with my father about homosexuality. He said that God condemned it because it was something that you chose. I said, (this was in the 70's) that it was the way you were born. Why would someone choose to be in the minority? They would not. God made them that way. As I grew older, my feelings did not change. My parents chose (and still do to this day) to bury their heads in the sand. My brother is 46 (never been married, one girlfriend in middle school), brother-in-law 61 (never had a girlfriend), neice 30 (never had a boyfriend). I tell you there is something in the genes. (Oh yeah, it is a choice!!!)
You are so blessed to have such an accepting family. My daughters and their (husband, boyfriend) accept their brother as he is. My husband has accepted him (although not as fast as we girls) too. Hell, the girls knew when he was six years-old. I knew when he was three. I always wonder if I argued with my dad when I was younger because I knew that I would have a gay son.
Anyway, I am so proud of my son for coming out when he was in high school. I know that this was not an eay thing to do. I just hugged him and said that I always felt that he was gay. But I will admit, that I did go through a brief period of mourning. I don't know why, I did know..I guess it was just all the feelings of what the average American family would be. You know, a wife, 2 kids, etc. I now look back on that and think, what was wrong with me? My son is one of the most compassionate, loving, thoughtful persons that I know.
I just wanted to let you know, that you bring hope to me that my son will some day meet his lifetime partner. He has had one 18 month relationship with a very nice boy. We met his family and they too were accepting. My son has now gone off to college and has grown as a person. He has made new friends amd they are all very accepting. Hey he is even in a fraternity.
I hope that one day that all the world can be as accepting as this site is. I see more love and compassion in here than I do in every day life. May you and your partner have a lifetime of love and happiness... I know that you must live very close to Magic Kingdom, so the next time that you go watch Wishes, shed a few tears for my son and I (we just can't hear that music and not cry.) Starlight, starbright, I wish upon a star tonight....May your love for one another grow each night.
Wow I would love to get married at WDW some day!!!!
Okay, here's a creepy question.
Lynn, were you at the Magic Kingdom on Wednesday, October 1st? I could have sworn I saw two people that looked like you and your hubby entering as we left.
Yes sir I was!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You are like the tenth person on here who said they saw me lol!!!
Wedding crashers??!?!? OMG the nerve of some people! How RUDE!!
How wonderful to be able to mingle with the guests before the wedding, what a great way to relax and destress before the big moment!
I thought so! I almost waved.
If I had known you were going to be so gracious I would have crashed the wedding.
I just remember last time I made you mad there was yelling and muppets died, I didn't want to run the risk.
First off, no muppets actually died. I was framed.
Secondly, it was because of these people and others (including Crasher's son and his girlfriend, thankfully they didn't come along, too) that I was so touchy on the boards. It was a very real concern to me. And can anyone now blame me for worrying about it.
Thirdly. If I knew then what I know now, I wouldn't have been so gracious. You've not heard the whole story yet.
Well I'm a lot less gracious than you. If you had let me come along I would have gone medieval on those people's ***** for you
You'd have had to stand in line. Several of our friends were much more upset than we were at the time.
At the time, it wasn't worth it to me to make a scene. They'd always been pleasant enough people. There were certainly other people that used to hang out at the Adventurers Club that we would have had escorted out (and asked Randy Chapman to take pictures of it ) but given what we knew at the time, it wasn't worth it.
You are definately right about us brides not being able to mingle. Hmm...we kind of did that to ourselves, i guess.
