Delmarriage...

I do too. And I think it is a very real phenomenon, too. My husband (then fiance) and I had a scene very, very similar to what you wrote for Ennis and Ellery. It was the same situation (the day we picked up our rings) and the same place (ie, in bed). We tried them on, didn't want to take them off, I cried. We wore them all night then the next morning, took them off, put them away, and didn't even look at them again until the "real" wedding. But something happened that night which finalized everything between us. No more cold feet, no more doubts...

How long have you been married Leslie? If thats not a nosey question? It,s actually 20 years for me on the 1st of December. Cant wait for our boys marriage. That scene with the rings bought tears to my eyes, as did your scene Leslie with Jack and Ennis. *SIGH* I blubbed, I did, I admit it lol. ::) ::)

Wait, wait...what do you mean "all night"...surely you we're not togather all night before the benefit of marriage?  Oh my angelic image is broken to bits.   ;D

Actually, Scott the parallels between my romance with my husband and what has gone on with Ennis and Ellery are uncanny, including initiating a sexual relationship very early on (for us, it was on our first date), moving in together, getting engaged (after 5 months), then married (when we had known each other less than 11 months). Reading the delmarriage ceremony sent shivers down my spine since Tony and I had done the exact same thing, right down to the tears.

Some have criticized this story for being "too much, too fast" but I don't take issue with that at all, since I feel like I am reading my own story and I know it can happen this way. It did for me! The only difference: I'm not gay.

We celebrated our 28th wedding anniversary on June 2 and have been together 29 years.

Like you, I am always a sucker for a good wedding and cry at all of them. That's why I like to write them, too.
