HAHA!

As most of you guys know, I was having some issues with my MOH.  Well, I just convinced my FI that I DO need someone to stand next to me, not just the four at the corners, to hold my bouquet, my gloves, and to hand me my ring.  SO, to make a long story short...I get all my BM is the same dress, different color and my MOH gets her dress off the wedsight she HAD to have, but in the color I picked out!  Plus my friend form out of state gets to be in my WP!  Victory is mine!  Thanks for everything guys!

...congratulations?

At the four corners? What does that mean? I'm confused.

Snippylynn

Great.  That's... interesting.

I'm still wondering about the roots of your Scottish-Norse religion that supposedly came from the "first settlers in Scotland" who were... Vikings.

Stackeye210

Refresh my memory........Was your MOH the one that would only order her dress from one specific website? 

ohwhynot

I'm a little concerned that you're so gleeful at a "victory" over your husband-to-be.  Do you two see everything as a battle?  This is an odd post. 

FutureMrsTR

Yes and she's having a Pagan sunrise ceremony which might explain the four corners thing.

emilyinchile

I have read your previous posts and actually had no idea that there was any issue about needing someone to stand next to you - all you'd said was that the MOH didn't like the dress and that you needed the 4 corners. So you'll have to excuse me if I don't feel majorly relieved to know a problem I never even knew about has now been resolved, but I'm glad it worked out.

kikibaby

Well, you know... thank goodness you found someone to hold your gloves.  That's very important.

I never said they were the first group of people in Scottland, I said they were the first people to have a written history in Scottland.  In more recent years we have been able to find information out about the galic/celtic people who inhabited Scottland before the Norse began to influence it, but the Pagan religion I follow still has heavy overtones of Norse mixed with the galic/celtic beliefs.  That being stated, the four corners are symboilc of the four elements and four directions.

You're still wrong.  Way wrong. Way, way, way, way, way wrong.  Gaels and Celts had language and writing. 

I guess it's a good thing I decided long ago that most religions are fairy tales.

amber2123

I don't see everything as a battle, and I'm not saying victory over my FI, I'm saying I no longer have to deal with my MOH only wearing dresses off one website and me not being able to have what I wanted for my BM.  Now my MOH is happy that she can wear whatever dress she'd like, as long as it's some shade of purple, my BM are happy because they get a warm dress that they like, and I'm happy because my four corners are in the same dress but different colors.

I'm sorry, but Scotland has one "t" in it.

Snippylynn

Just so we're clear:
- The first written language in Scotland is Scottish GAELIC, a language still spoken today.  If the Vikings (which would include the vast area of Scandinavia, and at least 4 different languages, btw) had settled Scotland first, you'd think the language of Scotland would be some variation of Dutch, Swedish, Norwegian or Finnish, right?

- The Vikings weren't exactly known for having a written history in the 1000's.  That's about as comical as them actually wearing horned helmets or the everyone in Sweden talking like the Swedish chef.

Baystate, you figured it out! Snippy is talking about ScoTland, a country to the north of England where the Norse people were not the first of very much anything. OP is talking about ScoTTland, a totally different (fictional) place where her religion was created. Everyone is right!

You know, weirdly, I was watching this thing on the History channel, and the guy said, "Do you know how ridiculous they would have been with horned helmets?  Someone can just grab that, jerk your head down, and stab you in the neck!" lol
