It's a Utilikilt, so it's not traditional and doesn't require lots of contortions. It's hot stuff, though, so don't let your man wear one unless you're pretty darn sure he's faithful...women will get all curious and have a difficult time controlling themselves...

Anything esle I could write on the subject is a bit unseemly, so I'm just going to stop there!

Thanks for the well-wishes. Late or otherwise, I love it. And it was a very happy day, so I'm glad I reflected that.

Hey, I know it's way past the wedding, but congrats!!!
So exciting to see a wonderful couple united in marriage.
Great photos of the wedding too. Liz, you looked so beautiful and so happy.
When I read that you couldn't stop laughing, it reminded me of my wedding. I couldn't stop laughing because I almost caught my veil on fire from a burning incense. It would of been a memorable firey wedding but it turned out pretty tame.

Arthur, I must ask did you go through some laborious autonomous ceremony putting on the kilt.
I was told by another kilt wearing man that there's a long sequence of steps etc and it's not a matter of just putting it on. Just curious.

Hey Stacey - thank for the pirate wedding vows; you know, we considered those exact vows! Although we ended up using somewhat more traditional ones. :)

spiral out, ye scurvy dogs,

Arthur, Liz....

I've been cleaning out my Draft mailbox and came across this, which was supposed to be a gift (of sorts) upon your engagement news ;-) ... um, Now its AFTER your nuptials... oops!
and oh so typical for me these days (5 mos lag time, at least it feels that way :-)

Anyhoo, I hope it hits the funny bone, brightens yer day, and puts some lift under the kilt....

a tardy tart...

Well ye young lovers ye,

Let it not be said that Cap'n Slappy is no romantic! Here be the original wedding vows written precisely for yer up-coming nuptuals:

Pirate Wedding Vows

Groom: I, Mad Dog _______________ take ye, Saucy ______________________ as me Heart, me Soul, me Good Wench with a stout right hook, the bright dawn of each new day and the soft bed of each day's night. I promise to love ye and honor ye; to make ye laugh when yer feelin' out of sorts and pretend to listen to ye when ye babble on and on about nothin' in particular. I will protect you from the elements and the elephants should we ever encounter them as it is my understanding that they can be very large and unpredictable. I will love thee through scurvy and through fire, in wealth or poverty whether ye be near or far. And when I speak of treasure, as I am wont to do, everyone within the sound of me voice will know that what I am really speaking about is you. All of this will I undertake until there are no horizons left to chase and the rum is gone.

Bride: I, Saucy _________________ take ye, Mad Dog __________________ as me Heart, me Soul, me Salty Jack with a crooked smile, the foggy haze of each new day and the lumpy (but familiar) mattress of each day's night. I promise to love ye and honor ye; to make ye laugh so hard the rum comes out yer nose and pretend to listen to ye when ye babble on about nothin' in particular. I will protect you from my wrath and from giraffes which I understand are very tall and will sometimes step on people because they are not looking where they are stepping. I will love thee through scurvy and through fire, in wealth or poverty whether ye be near or far. And when I speak of treasure, as I am wont to do, everyone within the sound of me voice will know that I am day dreaming again. All of this will I undertake until there are no horizons left to chase and the rum is gone.

All the best, (*Pirate Sniff*)

- Cap'n Slappy

That was pretty much the whole point, making people cry. Shoulda seen my sister! Arthur's best friend was also crying.

I, OTOH, was only barely able to stop from bursting out laughing during the ceremony. The officiant started out by almost asking me to take Arthur for my wife...I probably would have said "Sure!"
