As Steven Fry would gladly inform you, brides do not walk up the aisle of a church (the aisles run along the side of the church). Instead they walk up the central passage. In any case, when star asked me to give her away at her wedding I felt equally happy to take her up either the aisle or the central passage. ![]()
These were the types of smutty musings that were to have featured in my father of the bride speech but were hastily dropped once we realised that (apart from us) it would be an entirely family affair. Even I, it seems, have to bow to the pressures of pleasing families at weddings. When Maugrim's best man (his brother) likened marriage to a fire that has to be kept attended to keep burning I almost gave in and shouted out "poke her"! But in the end I was good.
I discovered a few things about weddings though. I found out that hopespringseternal looks great in a dress. I discovered that women's wedding hats are functional (my head is bright red today; helen's is untouched despite all the time we spent in the sun). I discovered that it takes more than one standard church seats to seat a bride in that big a dress, but sitting on the remaining half seat is manageable - and I discovered that meeting me (apparently) is more scary than getting married!
At this point I shall blame either catching the sun or being on my feet all day or the rubbish pouring from my mouth in the evening. That's my excuse for my confession for a love of bridal porn and I'm sticking to it.
But at least I didn't take up one particular Dom's suggestion that I assert rights of droit de Signor with star… (I'll leave it up to the reader to guess who might have suggested that).
But now I'm rambling. Or maybe it's just that romance and sex go hand in hand for me, and yesterday was very romantic. In any case a hearty congratulations to the happy couple and well done all those who made the day special for them. ![]()

It's called the nave. The "central passage" has a different significance for brides. BDSM: Boring, Dumb, Sad, Motherfuckers. | |||||||

The nave is the central part of a church including all the seating: It doesn't describe the central passage through the nave which is only ever called the cenral passage. - Chris

You're right. Sorry, I haven't spent much time in churches. A bit more in central passages, admittedly. BDSM: Boring, Dumb, Sad, Motherfuckers. Edited 21 Apr 07, 8:41 PM by Insistor | |||||||

I prefer cathedral naves empty of pews (and christians) they only get in the way of us sightseers. BDSM: Boring, Dumb, Sad, Motherfuckers. Edited 21 Apr 07, 8:59 PM by Insistor | |||||||
