So, its been established that hatrack women would make great life partners.

Since we've also established (At least in a joking manner) that polygamy is ok if it involves hatrackers...

*Gets on bended knee and extends hand holding whole bunches of diamond rings*
Women of hatrack, from the hearts of all the men who post here regularly,

We love you, and without you, our lives would not be complete. We have little to offer you other then our undying devotion, love, and respect, but even with so little to offer, would you do us the incredible honor of marrying us?

Oooh - dibs on Paul.

I called it.
 
Posted by twinky (Member # 693) on :
 
We established in the gay marriage thread that a marriage can contain any number of people of either gender. (I'll add transsexuals and hermaphrodites, too, to be fair.)

So you don't get Paul, you get all of us -- as does every other jatraquera who accepts this proposal.

To sweeten the pot, I can get the ladies some really cool pens with my company's logo on them. Maybe some coffee mugs too. [Wink]

Does this means she brings her husband?

Gentlemen should always tip their hat when proposing to ladies.
 
Posted by twinky (Member # 693) on :
 
So? By accepting our proposal she becomes a polygamist [Big Grin]
 
Posted by asQmh (Member # 4590) on :
 
But how binding is this wedding thing? I mean sure, it's great for now and all, but what do I do when a better offer comes along?

But the pens are tempting . . . .

Q.
 
Posted by Paul Goldner (Member # 1910) on :
 
She only brings her husband if he posts at hatrack. *Grin*

And, mack, just because she's married doesn't mean she can't join the polygamist hatrack marriage [Smile] I mean, there's room for everyone right?
 
Posted by MattB (Member # 1116) on :
 
Heck, I've got some pens with little lights in them so you can take notes in movie theaters.

My, what a day of surprises. Weeeellll - as long as Ralphie says it's okay, then sure - new pens that come equipped with little flashlights are way cool. [Big Grin]

High praise indeed!

I wasn't sure how to explain to Teres that I was going to be marrying 3,000 people. We have enough problems ordering pizza for four...

Besides, I'm secure enough to admit that I couldn't possibly do justice to this many talented and enthusiastic women. Six or seven of you are just going to have to wait.

Maybe we could just be a really, really extended family. Those of us who prefer to be kindly parental types can do so, and what consenting Hatrackers choose to do in the privacy of their own threads is entirely up to them.

Just stick a towel on the thread if you're using it, and we'll make a lot of noise if the moderator shows up.

Please note: "Consenting Hatrackers" doesn't apply to minors. Sorry, kids.

Only if I get to be the bride.

And do we have to be married to everyone else? Cause if so... I think we'll go have our own mass wedding in Las Vegas. You know... just between us two.
 
Posted by Chris Bridges (Member # 1138) on :
 
An old article, oddly appropriate for the occasion:

Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today in the presence of this company to join together Jackie, Kathryn, Emil, Eric, and Steve in the holy bonds of matrimony.

This ceremony represents their desire to publically proclaim their love for one another, and their devotion to a relationship that is far beyond that of friend, companion, or even lover. They wish to marry, in the eyes of their family and friends, in the eyes of God, Gaia, the Buddha-nature in all of us, and the absolute absence of any higher power, respectively. Theirs is not a shallow love, but a love tested by time and hardships until it is tempered and true and able to withstand all trials, except for Eric who just moved in last month.

Kathryn, Jackie, and Eric feel that their lifelong mate should be strong and independent, loving, faithful, understanding, devoted, compassionate and most of all -- a best friend. Steve is already legally married to Kathryn, but he pretty much agrees anyway and he really digs Jackie. Emil says he believes in lifelong, unbreakable marriage vows, loves Kathryn deeply and is kinda curious about Eric, so he's up for it.

Forasmuch as these five people have come hither to be made one in this holy estate, if there be any here present who knows any just cause why they may not be joined in marriage, I require him now to make it known or ever after hold his peace.

Jackie, do you take Kathryn, Emil, Eric, and Steve to be your lawfully wedded spouses? Do you commit your life to them, embracing all joys and sorrows, all triumphs and hardships?

Kathryn, do you take Jackie, Eric, and Emil to be your lawfully wedded spouses, to have and to hold, in sickness and in health, 'til death do you part, even if Emil is kinda creepy?

Emil, do you take Jackie and maybe Eric to be your lawfully wedded spouses, to love and to cherish, forsaking most all others with pre-agreed upon exceptions for Butch Night at the Arena and the occasional one-nighter as per the pre-nup?

Eric, do you take Kathryn and Jackie to be your lawfully wedded spouses? Do you swear your future and your life to them, knowing that they're also bi-curious and that you're entering into a sensual paradise of which other guys may only dream? Do you realize that Emil swiped a photo of you at the beach and hid it in his wallet, and that you'll have to deal with it eventually?

And Steve, do you take Jackie to be your lawfully wedded wife, allowing Kathryn her freedom to explore her newly awakened eroticism with Jackie and Eric, especially since things were getting kinda slow with her anyway and Jackie is just so totally bitching?

Does someone have the bag of rings?

If you would please place the rings upon each other's fingers, and repeat after me: This ring symbolizes the unending union of my life with several of yours. Your dreams are now my dreams. Your hopes are my hopes. Your fears are my concerns. Your finances are now my finances. Your affection is my joy. Your crazy relatives are my crazy relatives. Your repo problems are my repo problems. Your love is my blessing.

Because you, Jackie, Kathryn, Emil, Eric, and Steve have consented together in this sacred commitment and have declared the same before this company of family and friends, I now pronounce you husbands and wives. You may now kiss... everybody.

So I vote Chris officiate. Which is only a complication if he wanted to participate. In the event that he is unavailable to perform the ceremony <bridezilla>(because I don't believe in double casting and we're all just going to have to conform to the way I want things done)</bridezilla alt="maybe">, who's gonna do it?

Q.
 
Posted by Chris Bridges (Member # 1138) on :
 
If I can dig out my 20-year old Universal Life Church membership card from somewhere, I'll perform the ceremonies. We'll need a concensus on the ceremony, or I can adapt Zelazny's "Agnostic's Prayer" to cover all bases.

Who's giving the brides away? OSC?
 
Posted by katharina (Member # 827) on :
 
I'm already twinky's dream wife, so the extended ceremony is just a formality.

I have to say, twink, that my favorite part of the dream was that it "just seemed like the thing to do." Like there was a pause in the conversation, and your brain said, "Twinky! Say something!" and a proposal popped out.

Twinky's brain: "Yeah, that'll work! That'll give us something to talk about."

[Big Grin]
 
Posted by asQmh (Member # 4590) on :
 
Taco Bell is giving away the brides, free with any Nachos Grande combo meal. (Collect them all!)

Q.
 
Posted by T. Analog Kid (Member # 381) on :
 
Chris, if you can adapt Madrak's prayer to fit the ceremony, then I can no longer resist. I mean, being married to a luscious group of jatraqueras was tempting enough, but to be married by a re-write of my all-time favorite bit of satire is just too much...

even if this means I have to sleep with Twinky from time to time [Eek!]

(don't be embarassed, Twink, everyone knows you love me [Wave] )
 
Posted by Olivet (Member # 1104) on :
 
This thread just keeps getting funnier. My half-brother and his wife had another wife for a while. Then my brother and his wife divorced so he could legally marry the other wife. So she could get visitation with her children from a previous marriage.

One of my best friends has a sister who lives with her husband and another couple. They bought a house together and everything. The 'other' husband was her lamaze partner when she had her baby. [Dont Know] The family just sort of ignores it, which I think is the best course of action. I mean, there may not be anything funny going on.

Ron and I have had Nescho living with us for over a year, so I'm sure there are people in the neighborhood who wonder if something hinky is going on. But he's just renting a room.

So let them think I have a RL hoochie stable. [Evil]

Indeed. This is really just an extension of our existing dream marriage to include all jatraqueros and jatraqueras. [Smile]

See... you had me at the first page, but using lines from Blazing Saddles is just a clincher. I swear, if someone starts quoting me The Princess Bride and Shakespeare, I may just have to elope. Of course that means I won't get my big wedding and no bachelor or bachelorette parties which could be miscontrued as a bad thing.

I do wonder about the future resulting children though. Poor little darlings won't know what hit them (I mean the parents not the kids [Evil] .)

"Question: are we going to be expected to remember insignificant details about all spouses? Like birthdays, anniversaries, first names, that kind of thing?"

There could be a group birthday. Sort of a rebirthday, if you will. Of course, our anniversary will be easy to remember,as it will be the same.

YAY! an evil smiley!

Grammar nazis have fun with that second sentence... I'm pretty sure it's correct, even with all the commas.

No icebergs as far as I can see.... nope, nope, nope...

As for Portia, I'm with Otto:

Okay, Paul. I don't entirely agree, but I can at least see where you're coming from.

A tangent:
Midsummer Night's Dream is The Play I Got Sick Of in 11th grade (spent waaaay too much time on it in Shakespeare class, then was a fairy [Mustardseed, I think] in the school production of it, then went and saw it in Stratford, ON with the school, then the movie came out and we all refused to see it). But I liked it before then, and would probably like it again now.

Listen, Paul, once a high school kid reads Shakespeare, and realizes it is about 75 precent smut, they love it. The more they read it, the more puns they will get that they missed the first time.

The trick to reading Shakespeare is this: read it. Read it again. Read it a third time, etc.
