Linen Wedding?
17 years ago
Normal married people have the traditional anniversaries by gift-class, but at this stage of the game, due to legal challenges, it's highly unlikely we'll ever have something that lasts long enough for a "real" anniversary. As such, I've decided that instead of doing gifts by anniversary, we'll just do them by marriage attempt.
The first time in SF was the Paper one.
The second time, private, and religious, was the Cotton one.
The third time, the DP paperwork instead of the real deal, was the Leather one.
This one will be the Linen/Silk one.
I'm kind of disappointed. Leather would've been cooler. There's a certain amount of symmetry though: For the paper one, we got a certificate! Hooray!
For the cotton one, there was some general weepiness, hence handkerchiefs, hence, Hooray!
Never really got any leather in on the third one, unless you count the ludicrous quantity of shoe leather expended in the process of finding notaries, paperwork, and the right incantations to do it- also: lawyers, to make sure all the paperwork and arrangements were correct.
What would you -do- for a linen marriage? Maybe we can have the Klan protest it! They have muslin hoods. That's kind of linen-like, right?
Or I could wear a silken shift, and do an interpretive dance around the themes of redemption, love, and perhaps mansex.
Hmm.
Ideas.

Personally, I'm wondering: What do you get for your bismuth anniversary?
Bottles of pepto bismol?
Or just go all tartan, everywhere, for everyone.
It would definitely be visually distinct.
