This is the three of us on Saturday night in an absurd state of coincidence wearing the same colors! Or was it? Pardon the boobige!! Only dress I could find that looked half decent, so to speak! As you can see I am in the thick of it!!
It was my friend Violette's fifty fifth birthday today, her friend Susan threw her a bash on Saturday evening! As you can see being married to herself didn't stop her from scooping up this gem as her side kick! I have so many photos of him hamming it up for the camera! Doesn't matter how old you are, being goofy, playing like children do, and having an open mind keeps you young in spirit!
That's why Malcolm in the middle had to take part in our wedding ceremony! The three other ladies have been school chums since elementary school, I can only imagine the other antics these three have cooked up over the years! Malcolm came into the picture later in life, has been on many a road trip with these gals! Unfortunately he's deceased now, for quite sometime. Seemed I just got to know him, and snap, crackle, pop, he was gone!! !! Who knows maybe the honeymoon just plum wore him out!! 
Yes it may have been absurd to buy wedding rings, cards, then celebrate with a nice spread of food even though it was for ourselves.But it was a serious attempt at celebrating a promise to be true to our hearts desires, and value our true spirit!Happy Birthday Violette! Susan and Rob are dear people to put together such a nice gathering Saturday night! It was so much fun, loads of laughter, joy and great food!
A creative gift Violette received. A troll peeking out of the pocket is a signature mascot she adores! Violette affirms that you are NEVER too old to have fun!!! So go forth and be absurd!! The more people you can make laugh the happier you'll be!

i want to send this post to my friend carol..she was just saying this morning how important it is for us to honor ourselves! It's weird that first she expressed this to me.. and now my other cara mia. I think your marriage to yourself idea is genius!
and mama... if u've got the boobige flaunt it honey!! xoxo
the concept of "marry yourself" comes from the inspirational/self-help writer, Sark. I think it's a fanastic idea. And it's in keeping with the generally accepted idea that you must love yourself before you can appropriately love others.
What a happy, goofy thing to do! I love it :)
