I'm a student pursuing a doctoral degree in late medieval history. My main interests include but are not limited to Latin, Italian, cultural theory, educational curriculum, historiography, cognitive processes, language-theory, gender relations and THE WESTERN CANON (mwahaha); i am not particularly interesting, avant-garde or risque; My main hobbies include the exciting activities of cooking, baking, going to the gym, eating green apple-caramel lollipops, restaurant reviewing and acting as child-like and sassy as possible. I keep these entries from the years of my life - no matter how i feel about them today - available because i find it useful to revisit events i now interpret differently. My name is heather, i'm of Montreal and i was born in the nefarious, ominous year 1984.

My First Gay Wedding

Signing the docs

Sunday i attended the marriage of Z’s two exes as his +1. It was a casual affair with maybe 20 people attending (including two kittens, a puppy and a five-month old baby), but good food and lots of laughs.

Memorable Moments

1. How awesome is it that as we waited for the other guests to arrive we sat around and watched So You Think You Can Dance?

2. Nick made it not even three lines into his vows before needing to stop for a tissue-break. This started the water works for everyone…

3. Both witnesses were ex’s… one managed to stab their once-partner with the pin from a bouttoniere as pictures were being taken of the signing… hehe.

4. Z couldn’t remember his postal code - the documents will forever be questionable in court!

Also great was the reverse suits and the generally chillaxed atmosphere - with less than an hour to go (or as yours truly kept declaring on the half-hour “until d-day”), the couple compared belts. A better caption is “yes, yours is definitely bigger.” See below

Staring at shoes

And to answer your burning question… there was no walking down the aisle. They stood in front of the fireplace and held hands after walking up the stairs together.
