    The Wormhole turns!

    As many will know I fell down this rabbit hole early last fall after being asked to do a wedding wearing a kilt. Since that time I've been Jonesing to do another kilted wedding. Well I got my wish, kinda.

    Yesterday I booked a wedding that is to be spiritual in nature, Lots of God just easy on the formal religion part. This is a second wedding for both, and they are both in recovery, so the idea of a higher power is very welcome, just not all the hoops and hurdle's that some put on some weddings.

    Now the fun part; they asked me if I would wear my kilt (they had seen pictures on my website) to honor their parents (both sets are Irish/Scot). While the couple are going for a Western/ Steampunk style (she's an artist, he's a FAA accident scene investigator/ Musician) they want me in as much of a full kit as possible. Whats a guy to say?

    I trust you said something to the effect: "I'll be honored to do so."

    Aye on the X Marks tartan. It just happens to incorporate the colors of the bookjacket of AA's 4th Edition of their "Big Book." Wore mine to an AA funeral and everyone was impressed when I pointed out the tartan colors matched the Big Book jacket. Why not for a wedding??

    Ron, you think a reading of the Promises would be appropriate for a wedding?

    You were right, it's a great organization.ith:

    Never thought of The Promises being read during a wedding...why not?

    Only thing I ever heard about marriage in AA is "A successful AA marriage is one in which neither party gets drunk during the divorce proceedings."
