The funny thing is that we’re not even dating! He is my absolute best friend and we love each other to death, tried to date a few years ago but realized we work better as friends. Neither of us is interested in marriage as a romantic gesture, so we’re marrying for more pragmatic reasons, but ultimately it is about being able to be there for each other medically and legally
We’re down to change it down the line if either of us ever changes their mind about marriage, but for now we’re getting a kick out of joking about honeymooning at the movie theater by watching The Godfather re-release after we leave the courthouse
I'm really happy for you! "Married for legal reasons" needs to be more accepted than it is. I hope you guys have a peaceful life together and a good day at the theater :)
They are in some places for the 50th anniversary I think? It’s a select theaters kind of thing but worth checking if there are any near you playing it if you like the trilogy
We did this! We did not want a wedding, and there's no way we were going to be able to have some people that we knew attend (as witnesses) but not others, without drama, and you do need to have witnesses, so we got a couple of randoms off the street to be our witnesses - it was fun!
Sending a belated “mazel tov” to you and your partner! The courthouse we’re looking at is right by a really big art school, so we know we’ll find at least one cool person who’ll get a kick out of having a movie moment with us
Idk why you sound a little cynic about the video, it’s cute! I don’t think I’d post about it though, I’m generally not huge into posting pics of my life on socials often anyway
Oh I do hope they had permission to post, I’m usually not a big fan of people being recorded without permission, but tbh this feels like the type of situation you’d want recorded anyway.
I don’t wanna sound rude, but it feels maybe also a bit American to assume that everything people share online is for outside validation. Sometimes you’re just sharing a nice moment because it was funny or sweet. A little off topic but it reminds me when people tell me I posted a comment for karma when I still don’t understand what karma is or what it’s supposed to be useful for lol
I got married at my city hall, in Canada in the winter. So I was wearing my white wedding dress from the thrift store, and snow boots underneath. The room we used had a meeting right after us, and some people who came early got to watch! I was posted on their socials for the city because they all loved it.
I agree that not everything is used for validation, sometimes its a funny, or sweet and fun moment that the person just wants to share with others.
Good luck with your upcoming marriage to you and your friend!!
