Is your twin sister married? For the life of me I can't remember.
Re: Jweat**
Ok, I thought so. So here is my question......
Was her wedding anything like yours?
Well, sort of, but not really. Our family is not religious whatsoever, but they got married in my BIL's grandma's church. Mostly because there aren't a lot of great indoor venues near where I grew up, and the weather is a little unpredictable in the fall (in Seattle). We got married outside in a garden setting.
Their ceremony was very traditional, and even though we aren't religious and the minister knew it, there was still an overabundance of prayer (IMO). My aunt married us, and we wrote our entire ceremony ourselves (with the help of my aunt and a great book that I bought), and it was completely secular.
Their reception was at a community banquet hall, with a buffet and a big head table. Ours was at our ceremony site with a seated dinner and a sweetheart table.
A lot of our differences were just due to budget, location, and personal taste (the food, site, etc). The main difference was the ceremony. Because I was so much older when I got married, I had been to a lot more weddings, and had lots of time to think about what I wanted. And N was married before, so I knew I didn't want to just walk the traditional path when it came to the ceremony. He did that the first time.
Anyway, hers was beautiful and fun, and so was mine. But I like mine better
.
I was just curious. There was a set of twins here that got married together. Took e-pics together, everything. Same dress, same hair, two of the same cake, etc.
It was truly awful. Which made me wonder how different yours were. Obviously twins are individuals but sometimes I notice that they either like exactly the same things or are complete opposites. It intrigues me.
Thank you for sharing.
My pleasure
. K and I actually have similar taste (although not in men!), but we each like to have our own "thing". When we were growing up, we quickly realized that we would pick out the same clothes when shopping. We stopped buying 2 of everything, and started sharing wardrobes. It was wonderous. And then we went to different colleges and lost half of our wardrobes. It was not wonderous. And somehow, most of the good stuff was hers.
Now, our tastes have diverged a bit more, but I still admire hers. She is a little more traditional, and a lot classier than I am. We don't strive to emulate each other, we strive to complement each other.
The matchy matchy twins sound a little awful to me. . . K was always my better half, until I met N, and now he is. Fortunately, he understands that she and I will always have a very close relationship, and he loves her too. Love me, love my twinner!
