High-end liquor I hope!

The only cocktail I remember was the mix of the white dolls and the blue dolls!

Alice Ripley may miss the mountains, but, gurl, I miss the Valley.

Robbie - Amen! to all you said.

And, yes, David's funeral was pretty entertaining. We've all said he would have loved it.

XOXO

Damn you, Robbie and Namo, you got me all choked up in front of my coworkers! Well said, both of you.

I just bumped the '60 Moments' - Washington Wedding thread, in case anyone missed it.

Marriage. It's what matters.

The only regret I have in my life is that he did not die as my legal husband.

He died--and lived--as your husband in the eyes of the only one who truly matters.

Robbie, just out of curiosity, did you have to solicit donations to throw that fabulous funeral?

[SonofRobbieJ]

Posted: 12/12/12 at 2:47pm

No...but, at the time of his death, I requested donations in David's name be made to the Ali Forney Center to help homeless LGBT youth.

Between that and my own personal giving to the charity which makes me feel very close to my beloved, we've raised around $15,000.00 for the Ali Forney Center over the last two years.

That is impressive! Congrats!

Now, THAT is true charity.

[PalJoey]

Maybe since Jamie is soliciting contributions for his wedding, he can request that--in lieu of gifts--contributions can me made to a similar charity.

Or are people supposed to give contributions AND gifts?

No, no, no, Joey. Giving to the wedding IS charity.

[SueleenGay]

Posted: 12/12/12 at 3:28pm

Wow, Robbie, that is an awesome total for your charity, and I am sure every penny went to the LGBT youth.

Just imagine if Jamie and fiance donated the $10,000 they are trying to raise to the same organization...how many "ten year olds" would benefit.

Can you help outer 10 year olds if your inner 10 year olds still need help?

[SueleenGay]

Posted: 12/12/12 at 9:26pm

In case you did not get the message they NEED YOUR HELP!!!!! For their $10,000 "little gay wedding". No, seriously.

How can he seriously be this clueless.

[SueleenGay]

Posted: 12/12/12 at 9:45pm

How can people be seriously donating money?

[DottieD'Luscia]

Posted: 12/12/12 at 9:48pm

Blech - over $3000 so far.

"We are so incredibly touched that 50 people have now made contributions towards Sean Carlson and my wedding. We are just shy of $3000 and I can't tell you how much that is going to help towards giving us the wedding our 10-year old selves never thought possible. Please continue to share our link (http://www.indiegogo.com/Jamie-Sean) and thank you again from the bottom of our heart!"

They're only TEN, lol? NOT LEGAL!

[SueleenGay]

Posted: 12/12/12 at 10:06pm

OMFG, Malia and Sasha just donated 10 bucks each!

I can be a little dense sometimes. I don't understand his tweet about the Obamas at all.

[Phyllis Rogers Stone]

Poor Nicholas Ray Golden still only has 6% of his goal met.

[FindingNamo]

No updates, no outpour, I guess.

[EricMontreal22]

Posted: 12/13/12 at 1:01am

I didn't get the Obama thing either unless it's just him trying to brag that he met them or something?

Ugh he's still going on about their ten year old selves?? Why not donate money to some youth teen charity and actually help some, maybe, ten year old selves... I was surprised that the Huffington Post article from him that was linked had NO comments from people pointing out the wedding fund... (then again, but Huffington standards, where most posts have insane number of bitchy comments, they had under ten or so, so maybe nobody really read it).

(And how exactly are they going to credit these 50 people? Under "we were too cheap to pay for this modest wedding, so these random strangers gave us money:"?)
