I have a friend who has been with his partner almost 20 years. We used to laugh over the observation that their partnership has lasted longer than some marriages of some of our mutual friends. We still say that, but we don't laugh as much about it any more; it's hard to see any friend's marriage or relationship fail. These two are in it for the long term, though.

I've been Boo'd ... right off the stage!
Aaahh, I have been defrosted! Thank you, Bonny and Asiel!
Brrrr, I've been Frosted! Thank you, Asiel and Pomtzu!

Romance - have those two religions denounced them publicly, or is it a few members of the congregations that have decided to harrass them?
There are fanatics in every religion, and I am just wondering if these idiots you refer to are not representative of the whole bunch - and whether some of their peers might be quite embarrassed at the prejudice being shown.

The Baptists seem to think they can pray them better or some such silliness, but the Mormons have been the worst. I'm not sure what their congregational population is but there are a whole bunch of them that are very very nasty. also very vocal hurling insults out loud in public.
I'm going to the wedding, and have decided that I'm no longer going to pretend i don't hear the hurtful words thrown at my friends, I'm going to take a stand...a loud one if necessary.

I wouldn't miss it for the world. They need all the support they can get.
