Closest thing to being married - reception in the DU Lounge!!!!

[Patiod]

S.O. and I need to show proof that he's a legitimate "domestic partner" in order for him to get covered with my health insurance at my new job.

So we went to the cheapest notary in town this morning and got 2 wills, 2 health care power of attorneys and 2 durable power of attorneys signed and notarized All deeply romantic at the tiny Auto Tags place, with 20 people squeezed into a small room while carpenters repaired the door and let all the air conditioning out.

Total cost to notarize 6 documents: $30
Cost of downloading will from internet: $19.99
Cost for SO to finally have healthcare coverage: Priceless!

The "bride" wore a golf skirt, nice matching t-shirt, and flip-flops. The "groom" wore sneakers, grey socks, black shorts, and a black t-shirt. The less said about the witnesses and their poor, hot, justifiably pouting child, the better.

Reception to be held in the DU Lounge - all are invited

[Robb]

1. I'll volunteer to drink too much and hit on one of the bridesmaids

...And bring up inappropriate stories during the toast. :D

[Patiod]

6. Excellent!

You're lucky - my girlfriends are easy!

[Debi]

25. Ooooohhh, I volunteer to be a bridesmaid!

:P being married for a dozen years I don't get hit on much anymore (except by Mr. Debi);).

[Pierre.Suave]

2. That sounds like quite an adventure.

Congrats to you both.

[Patiod]

7. Thanks!

It actually felt like we got married, in a weird way.

3. What kind of liquor will there be??

J/K

Happy for you two..... piece of mind is priceless.....

:hi: :hug:

[Patiod]

9. Thanks - we're getting too old not to have health care

It's one thing in your 20s, but after that....too scary. Just to know that if he goes to the ER, he won't face months of collections calls makes me sleep sounder.

Everyone should be able to get affordable health care -- this country deserves better!

[Phentex]

4. Best Wishes!

Sounds like a fun way to get the proof you need!

:toast:

[Patiod]

10. The only fun part was the Jimmy Buffett concert last night

Hot, humid, notary offices - not so much!

But the reception in the DU Lounge was great, too, although Robb got a little carried away with my slutty girlfriends....

[taterguy]

5. Is there an open bar?

[Patiod]

11. Much more generous with liquor than food

Top shelf all the way!

[Gormy Cuss]

8. Open bar?

Congrats to you both.

Oh yeah -- is it okay if I take the table arrangement home with me? I like free flowers.

[Patiod]

12. You'll have to check under your plate

If there's a little blue dot on it - it's yours!

[Tuesday Afternoon]

13. wo0t !! Biggo Congratz !! Now where is the cake ?

:D

:toast:

[PassingFair]

14. Here's the cake...

I got a REALLY good deal on it!

[Patiod]

15. Mmmmm.....floorcake.....

Yum

[Tuesday Afternoon]

16. finally !!

a good reason to get down on my knees :evilgrin: :D

[ScreamingMeemie]

17. Too bad Sprocket ate it already.

:(
Happy Father's Day to (I think he goes by) Dread (here).

[PassingFair]

18. Sprocket only ate around the edges....

I still have to run up to CostCo for Luke's present.
I've been busy spending money FULL-TIME on the
girls since Ellie came home....

:blush:

[ScreamingMeemie]

19. I hope you guys have a good day.

I just sent Nik up to *gasp* Walgreen's for a card (and some pop...of course).

[KitchenWitch]

20. I am over by the food.

[Patiod]

33. Be sure to have some of the hors-d'oevres!

The ham was imported from Italy....

[khashka]

21. I want wedding photos!

Congrats. My SO and I considered domestic partnership so I'd be covered under his insurance -but we had to have lived together for 6 months, I said "Like hell! I'm not living with you!"

Khash.

[Patiod]

31. Well, we've been together 15 years, so that's not an issue

We never really made the decision to live together - but in 1993, a huge ice storm hit Philadelphia, and he couldn't get to his hillside neighborhood, so he just sort of never went home.

[fortyfeetunder]

22. A hearty congratulations!

:toast:

[Patiod]

34. Thank you, 40'

We actually feel somewhat married, with all this paperwork!

[ghostsofgiants]

23. Woot! Congrats!

:)

It's sad though, that you even have to do something like that just to get health coverage.

[Patiod]

35. He said he didn't care

He said that his sister the RN could take care of most of his health problems, and I pointed out that I didn't relish the thought of her trying to take out his appendix on our kitchen table....

[Missy Vixen]

24. Pattie, we weren't even invited?

We would have at least brought some sports beer! ;-)

Congratulations, woman. Here's to health insurance and seventeen years of happiness! We'll celebrate next time you're in town!

:party:
Julie

p.s. Was the SO wearing his New York Dolls t-shirt? I know he loves it.

[Patiod]

28. No, in honor of the soemnity of the event, it was un-printed

I had thought we were together 16+ years, but we found an old program from the show we were doing together when we met, and we've only been together a mere 15 years..

I forgot you had met the "groom" at Juliefest!

[SOteric]

26. Here's a replacement cake for the one that hit the floor.

We picked it up at the 7-Eleven. :7

[Patiod]

29. True story

We were at the wedding of a friend, who met her fiance online at a Christian dating site. He was a bigwig at the company that (at the time) owned Dunkin Donuts, so they had a donut wedding cake, much like the Twinkie Cake you gave us for our reception.

[Critters2]

27. Chicken Dance!

[Patiod]

36. Well, we did get to do the "Fins" dance last night at Buffett

Trite, but always a big hit with the tequila-filled parrotheads....

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

30. Most excellent - congratulations!

I ask nothing of you - just be happy!

[Patiod]

32. Thanks!

Have some of the cupcake wedding cake
