Did the mom-in-law is engaged and getting married the week before my wedding post get DD'd??Aww - and that was a nifty story. I got to share how special-rific my ex was.

I missed your response! If it's too long to repost here, I'll understand. :-(

Geez! But hi Missy!

There has been a crapload of DDs today.

I was commenting off lpstl saying they should do a double ceremony.I just said that my ex-H was married before me - in a double ceremony, with his mom.His bride (and THAT marriage was her second) wore a black lace dress.True story.I said I should've seen the signs (of course, I didn't see the photos until after we were married).

This has been quite the day for DDs. That crazy color girl who thought we were being unsupportive DDed also.

I suggested a double wedding to the girl with the mom marrying the FFIL. I think it's  a beautiful idea in that whole "circle of life" kind of way.

sarah, was that the one who wrote the mini-thesis about how they like long walks on the beach, snuggling in front of the fire, puppies and rainbows, and want pastels, and please-help-me-pick-my-colors?I SO wanted to say, your colors are blush and bashful.HI CEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!  ))))))) I just love your siggy pic. Ben makes me smile. When Andy got the flu "shock," he didn't want to call his mom and tell her how brave he was, he told my brother he wanted to call "John and Emmie!"

[Deleted User]

I'm telling you. Ben and Andy are twins. Don't you think they look a little alike?

sarah0725

Yup, that was the one. I generally hate posts about colors, especially when they are long.

missy68

I do think they do - before we became "buds," I'd see the other photo you had of him in your siggy, and it would make me think of him - and smile.They're the same age, too.Andy's birth mother is from California - don't know the dad's background, but we think he might be Hispanic. Could be Middle Eastern, but birth mom didn't know/wasn't saying.

Ben's dad is Egyptian, so that's where he gets his coloring. I've been told he looks exactly like me, so I think his skin tone must be the only thing he got from his dad.

cew - Ben totally looks exactly like you...it's uncanny!

[Deleted User]

Thanks Kate! That makes me feel great.

kate51485

uncanny in a good way, to clarify I think it's the eyes?

missy68

I do remember you posting about a double wedding in that OTHER post, too - I was concentrating on thinking she was a troll (I still think she is).  The post history is every two months. And, when she responded to the color thing, it was VERY similar to mandy's voice, haha!He does have your facial structure and smile, that's for sure!!I had a coworker ask me once if my dad was of Middle Eastern descent, based on his coloring (dad's got near-olive skin, owing to golf-playing, etc) and jet black (now silver) hair, thick eyebrows, hairy arms, etc.I said, I'm fairly certain the family tree went Germany/England/Scotland straight to VA, but there's likely some Native American blood in there too. My brother looks just like my dad (and I do, too, but with fair hair and eyes).  People say Andy looks just like his dad, which is funny. He does; but he looks like my brother as an adult, not my brother as he did when he was little.  Take a look at my FB photos - Jamie and I look a lot alike, and he was a lot blonder as a kid.  Andy could be Egyptian/Middle Eastern; they've always leaned towards Hispanic, just based on where the mom was from and his hair texture, but who knows?

Missy-- I saw your ex story before the DD and I thought it was great...and the black lace is even greater. I'm thinking you've got a better deal this time, eh?

[Deleted User]

I met a guy at a job fair recently whose father was eqyptian and he had blonde hair, but was dark complected. He was a cutie.

missy68

Katie, I did get a better deal this time J is freakin' awesome. And, totally sane!!! Oddly enough, I appear to have retained my sanity, so that speaks volumes.I wish I could describe the photos. Granted, I was no - um, fashion model in my first (or second) wedding, but this gal..... wow. She was seven shades of scary. A hefty bride, in a large black sheath of lace.I did like my x-SFIL.  Sadly, he died 3 weeks after my first wedding (and on Valentine's Day). My x-SIL sent flowers to her mom signing the card from the husband. Bad call, x-SIL. He'd been in the hospital, in a semi-coma all those 3 weeks. It was obvious he hadn't sent them.

kate51485

uh, how..thoughtful?

missy68

she was a major mega hot mess.at grandmother's funeral, she took all the floral arrangements from the graveside service and set them up in her hotel room.She has asthma.  So, not just creepy, dangerous.x-MIL wouldn't let the cousin and x-H tell me the story, she was so angry and embarrassed.  They thought it was hilarious.She'd also call me, and ask me to ask x-H to go over to x-MIL's house to change a lightbulb, etc (she was kind of helpless/batty, but a kind person). I'd hand the phone to x, tell her she needed to ask him herself.  OH - the best x story.  I was on match.com for a while, including before the divorce was final, but listed as being separated (most of the dating I did was done out of state, owing to fabulous NC laws). The week after my divorce was final, I get an email from match.com with a list of my matches for the week. X-H is listed as an 80% compatible match - WTF??? I looked at his profile: same line of BS he gave me; in his profile photo, he's wearing the blazer my dad gave him complete with the BSA lapel pin and the tie I bought him.  AND, one of the photos is him with Phil Vassar, and my left boob is in the photo 'cause he cut me out of it. He also put a photo of the dog I left with him (and Maggie was cut out of that photo ). Loser. He was blocked. I got off match shortly after that.
