christinesmith, you suck. tarawalsh come back

lindsayll · September 2009

Why'd you have to DD what turned into a riveting conversation with tarawalsh?

mrstarawalsh · September 2009

Veil came from party city, tiara from ebay. The flowers were included in our "wedding package", properly entitled the "elopement package", curtesy of lake of the sky weddings in Lake Tahoe, CA. Defense submits exhibit B: the dress, a plain ol' white sundress masquerading for my "wedding gown" which was actually a size or five too small and I shouldn't have been wearing it in the first place: [img]http://b8.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/01508/83/24/1508984238_m.jpg[/img] Yes, Rich used to color his beared. And no, "grandpa" was a joke.

mrstarawalsh · September 2009

Oh yes, Feather baby is a bird, a handfed cockatiel

Her name is Bianca.

MadameS · September 2009

Your do-over is an attention wh0ring gift grab. Once you admit that, we'll all be a lot happier.

MadameS · September 2009

And birds are gross. Srsly.

mrstarawalsh · September 2009

AW? Sure. Gift Grab? Nah. Considering I'm going to have to fly out/ put up many of the family members myself I'd hope no one would think it's a grab for gifts. That'd be a horrible investment!

shanollee · September 2009

I was hoping that was a joke. And now I'm going to bed because I clearly need more sleep

KristenBtobe · September 2009

Very solid synopsis, Lindsay. Well done.

CaliopeSpidrman · September 2009

I could understand wanting a do-over if you had to have a quickie wedding at the county courthouse for some reason or another, but you had a wedding outside on a beautiful lake complete with a dress, flowers, veil, etc. You can have your do over wedding, but it's not going to fulfill that void you're feeling -- the only way to fill that is to pick a different groom who isn't 3x your age and doesn't even make a good sugar daddy. Don't you know anything? The only reason to marry old is because they're rich.

wingedbride · September 2009

is it just me or does the bride look totally different in the bio pics?

MamaKin · September 2009

winged, 18 to 23 is one of the bigger 5 year gaps in life. she'll probably look much more similar at their 8 and 10 year vow renewals.

KristenBtobe · September 2009

She was still going through late puberty.

wingedbride · September 2009

could be mamakin.cali, maybe she got confused "marrying rich" with marrying Rich.

FallinAgain · September 2009

Oh, Winged, I love you.

lindsayll · September 2009

is it just me or does the bride look totally different in the bio pics?to her credit, she says she's lost a bunch of weight, which is admirable, but does not warrant a do-over wedding.

pdxmouse · September 2009

Inquiring minds want to know- what part of NorCal? Are we talking Dunsmuir or Tahoe or what? Then I can answer Mo's question about geography and young cult brides.

lindsayll · September 2009

Yes, Rich used to color his beared.And how the eff did I miss this earlier?

BobLoblaw · September 2009

I don't know why everyone is giving her crap about her vow renewal. BBJ's vow renewal was breathtaking. Miss Tara has a lot to live up to.

TSD · September 2009

Yes I need to know about Cali and baby cult brides. I've only been to Cali (LA) once, and for some reason, I just didn't think it was a child bride kind of state. I was picturing the whole VC Andrews thing as usual. Tara, I just don't get the mindset of, "Ok, I'm 18! Whee! Let me get me a husband!! An old one!!" I need to know what your parents thought, esp because you had to be dating him while you were jailbait for you to BE married by 18. Is that why your family wasn't at the first wedding? And I want to know exactly how old Rich is...I know you said he's not much older than I am but when you gave that tidbit, you had no idea how old I am.

FallinAgain · September 2009

TSD-your profile lists your age. That said, no way is Richie Not Rich close to 35. I'm guessing if you think 30+ is datable at 18, your conception of age is just f'ed all up.

pdxmouse · September 2009

I imagine at 23 everyone older than 30 is about the same age. Northern Cali is a different beast than the southern part of the state. You have plces like the Bay Area or Napa that are mostly normal, but then you get into the mountains and yeah, VC Andrews would probably feel at home there if she had smoked more pot and been fond of washed-out hippies. You can tell a lot about what part of the state someone came from based on the number of times they've heard about the UFO under Mt Shasta.

CaliopeSpidrman · September 2009

We should do a "Guess his age" with NotRich.

TSD · September 2009

Oh, thanks Fallin. Goes to show how often I look at my own profile.

FallinAgain · September 2009

I'll go with 44 again.

mrstarawalsh · September 2009

TSD: your profile lists your age as already stated. But Mouse is right: anyone 35 and older I just kinda lump into the same age group. To answer questions: I live in Wine Country, surrounded by vinyards, pear trees, and a gorgeous lake. Mt. Shasta is faaaar from me, and I think VC Andrews even would have thought that part of Cali was strange and twisted. I've been there once and *shudder* never plan to go back. It's so heartwarming that everyone is concerened about how "Rich" Rich is. Don't you worry: we're doing fine. You know, Rich has had alllllooooot of time to buy a home, get a career, put some moola away, etc. You know, what old people normally do. Ready made life: just add Tara and Will. I've already stated why we eloped and why my family wasn't there. I do look ALOT different than I did at 18: I've lost 80lbs, gone from brunette, to blonde, to brunette again. Isn't it funny how you change so much in such a short period of time? To go from an overweight catholic school girl in the midwest to livin' it up in wine country with a husband and child 5 years later. It's amazing! I never thought I'd be here, and strange as it is to some people, it works.

lindsayll · September 2009

And yet, still no answer about how old Rich actually is. And when you guys started dating.

mrstarawalsh · September 2009

*sigh* I'm still not seeing how his age is relevant. It's waaay obvious that he's old enough to be my father. As for when we started dating/ sleeping together it was soon after I turned 18.

mrstarawalsh · September 2009

TSD: I understand having a child, I have one as well. I did explain in the other post but here's a bit of a longer version: At the time that we wanted to get married my FIL was very ill and living with H. I'm originally from the midwest so in order for my family to attend a ceremony held in California they would have had to fly out here, and we would have to put them up here, at our home (like we're planning to now) due to budget constraints on my family's part. At the time having family over here, even for a few days would have been distruptive to my FIL who had a kind of Alzheimers called "Sundowner's Syndrome". To avoid aggrivating his condition we instead opted to drive to Lake Tahoe on a weekend to A. attend my cousin in law's graduation and b. get married (something we had been planning to do for months, it seemed opportune). Yes, we started dating when I was 18: late September 2004. I moved in with him January 2005, we got married June 05... just a few months before I turned 19. Cali, I'm going to tell you what I tell my girls: He's old enough.

zora51 · September 2009

OK, I'm totally butting in here, but I'm dying to find out... You've been married JUST over 4 years.. you've known the guy only EXACTLY 5 years (dating, so you say), and I *think* you said somewhere your son is FOUR. That means you were preggo before you got married. "Little Catholic school girl"... is that the reason why you married? For any 'good' catholic girl it would be reason enough!!! Just curious.

Also.. he's gotta be in his 50s. That's kinda icky, you know. but i guess some people like the 'daddy's little girl' thing... Hope you have a good insurance plan! Your son will be a teenager, and Daddy will be in his 60s!! Geesh!

zora51 · September 2009

add: in fact... if your son is already 4, add 9 months to that, and you got preggo right after you two started 'dating'... Wow... before you moved in with him.. heck, before you two had been dating more than a month or 2!!! talk about pushing it! Whew!

mrstarawalsh · September 2009

Zora, my bird is 4 not my son, we aquired her at one month old shortly after we were married. My son JUST turned 2 at the end of May. Meaning I got pregnant September 2006 1 year, 2 months after we got married. Sheesh. Trust, life insurance is not something we have to worry about: we're well covered.
