My sister is getting married in two weeks and they just asked me tonight if I wouldn't mind writing a little love story to recite at their wedding. Um...me? WTF? I have NO idea what to write that won't end in a violent, bloody and suspenseful way! Um...a little help with some ideas maybe? lol
-
LMAO um...yeah I'd help but there'd be a dismembered body or a zombie eating the couple at the end of it I'm sure.
-
Wow! Talk about pressure! You, who don't write love stories... and only two weeks to do it in?? Yikes. Um, my love stories are always tragic, not fluffy, so I'm not sure... Could you write THEIR love story? Like the flowery, fairy tale version of however they came together in real life?
-
contact honey (cause I'm having a brain fart moment and can't remember her name... uhhh) and see if she can help.. . OOH I just remembered.. Kelly
-
I agree with Julie... it would be nice to tell how they met and stuff into their very own fairytale. Which of course should end with ...and they lived happily ever after thing. And remember: no blood and cliffhangers. :)
I believe in you, Mare, you have this gift or talent of finding the perfect words for a story. Care to share the story with us after the wedding? and who knows, Romance might be your new genre after the wedding. :)

Once upon a time there was a guy who cheated on his girlfriend which was my best friend with my sister and now my best friend no longer talks to me because of it. And they both lived happily ever after.
the end?
-
Yikes, that sounds like a soap opera.

You forgot to add, "happily ever after... in Canada, far far away from me." lol
-
LOL yes, i'll have to add that!
-
LMAO Somehow, that's kinda what I figured, the way you talk about your sister. Hm... well... in that case.......... ...... ?
-
now I take back what I said... there's no happy ever after with cheaters.... LOL
-
Don't get me wrong. I love my sister. I just hate the situation and i'm not at all all yippety skippety about this wedding.
-
I'm positive I posted a reply to this yesterday but it's vanished!
-
It's understandable, Mare, and we know you love your sister. Just try to write whatever you feel, just remember not to include bloods and cliffhangers. :)
I do believe you'll write just fine.
-
okay I stole this idea from myself lol But when I originally came up with the title it was for this wedding.
So you guys think this would work?
Thank You for Loving Me!
Wedding version
Through the stillness and quiet of a night with no TV, phones or books to occupy my time, I’m left with a longing to let you know just how much you mean to me.
I just wanted to thank you for loving me.
On nights where I would stay up late, thinking of bills that needed to be paid, chores that needed to be done or paperwork yet to be filled. A sense of dread would wash over me.
Then there’d you’d be….
Sometimes, with a short anecdote about your day
Sometimes, with a small tickle to my side.
Sometimes with a few reassuring words
Sometimes, with your warm, loving hand on my shoulder
All of those worries just wash away and I’m left with a brand new sense of relief. A relief that I have met the person I plan to spend the rest of my life with.
No great expectations of a life lived happily ever after, or sailing into the sunset waving at the huge crowd that gathers to wish us well. Only the anticipation of what happens next…
As long as we are together… to be continued is all we need.
So, thank you for loving me.

Aww that's really lovely Mare :)
-
thanks, Steph! I hope they'll like it.
-
Aww, that's really sweet! Thank you, Nick, for inspiring you! LOL
-
That's really nice, Mare! Great job!
-
yay! thanks guys! Gotta love Nick. He comes through again. LOL
-
Awwww that's really sweet. Yay Nick for saving the day! lol
-
If they only knew... lol
-
That was really good, Mare, and fit to a wedding. A few people might shed a tear over that.
-
How did the wedding go, Mare?
-
It went well Julie, thanks for asking. There were a few hitches like the groom taking forever to come in because he was waiting for the clock to chime at 11 on the dot and the clock never did. So I ran over there and clinked it manually because the stupid douche would have waited forever to hear that stupid clock ring. LOL He walked in to some Philip Glass song that sounded like he was about to murder someone. It was SNL skit comical.
I ended up being a blubbering idiot as I read my stupid thing. They made me read right after my sister walked down the aisle so I was all emotional to begin with and then boom. I'm sure people couldn't even understand what I was saying.
The actual ceremony was beautiful and OMG the food was amazing! It was at a bed and breakfast and seriously, it was the best food i've ever had. The room itself was beyond creepy with a random picture of a little girl right over my canopy bed along with lots of animal heads everywhere. It had a very 'shining' feel to it.
So, yeah she went through with it. The most interesting thing was the omission of "If there's anyone who objects to this speak now or forever hold your peace." lol
-
LOL at the fact they omitted that.
Glad it went well though (even if they couldn't understand you cause you were all emotional lol).
-
Aww, I'm glad it went well... and LMAO at everything you said about the groom's entrance.
-
I forgot to tell you about how he kept referring to the bridal party as the cast and as we were doing the rehearsal he kept saying "Up stage" and Down stage." This wasn't a wedding, it was a musical review of some kind. lol
-
LOL!
-
Glad it went well, but the stuffed animals sound a bit scary!
-
I'm glad it went well, Mare. I love attending weddings because of the solemnity and different emotions people have. I bet people enjoyed what you wrote even though you were a bit emotional. :)
