She was trolling for Dinner Companions.

Went to Sahara in New Brunswick with

allessindra. A great time was had by all with plenty of good food and good chat. A lot of chat. Like the restaurant turned over 3 times chat (ok, not exactly but close.) I also have a new crush: A lusciously garlicky chopped cauliflower that I'm sure makes the essence of the stinking rose ooze from my every pore.

It was fabulous and I'll eat it again. Soon.

Considering that I felt like socially backwards for making that post, but it ended up being one of the best Friday nights I've spent in a while. Certainly better than sitting at home with Middle Eastern take-out and thinking, "gee, I wish I were out with people." DUH. Sometimes it takes me the longest time to learn the simplest lessons.

fragiletruth GOT MARRIED!!!

The party was great, the bride looked lovely and had a bouquet that was sweet. it’s always fun when families and friends collide. There was nothing worth mentioning in the way of drama and everyone seemed to have a great time helping the newlyweds celebrate. (For the record, I am quite competent at opening up bottle of champaign. Heh)

If love is never having to say your sorry, than poly love is having your sweeties stand up for you at your wedding and help out at the party.

Because my mind has been doing an impression of swiss cheese lately, I wrote down what I wanted to say during the toast and I reproduce it here:

The signing of a document and the recitation of words is simply the skin of the living thing that is your love for one another. We who are gathered here with you today are here not only to celebrate your marriage but also in affirmation that we support you in your decision to entwine your lives. Thank you for inviting us to be a part.

We will be with you in joy, support you in the struggle and sorrow that punctuate every lifetime and sing your praises on occasions such as this.

Nietzsche said, “It is not a lack of love, but a lack of friendship that makes unhappy marriages.” May your time together be long and filled to overflowing with friendship between the two of you and among the friends and family who love you.

Mazel Tov to All of You!
