When my sister was married the first time, our mother, father, and brother walked her down the aisle and gave her away. I’m not sure how it went the second time, but it was a much smaller gathering, from what I understand.
When I got married, my mother walked me down the aisle, we hugged, and she went to sit down. Nobody “gave me away” because I felt that I wasn’t anyone’s to give by my own. It was only my mom because my dad was not present at my wedding.
So, here’s an open invitation to discuss either your wedding, your future wedding, or any weddings you’ve been to that struck you as meaningful. How did the bride and groom approach their places of honor? What symbolism was used? Did someone other than the father of the bride give her away?
This thought sparked by , whose husband will be giving away his sister in a wedding this weekend. Awww!
Log Zoot’s activity when you get home tonight:
Brought home on July 21(?) and cats were interested, but not aggressive.
On August 10, moved from my office into the laundry room, where accumulating lint was forming scum on the water surface. Full water changes on Sunday, Aug. 14 and on Aug. 19.
August 19, moved Zoot into bathroom for water change. Accidentally left him there. Was attacked and ravaged by Alladin during the day.
Full water change and started Melafix and Stress Coat treatment at 11 PM that night. Did half water change + half dose of Melafix each day from Aug. 19 through Aug. 24 (so far). On August 24, did full water change and removed plant. Water Ph is at 7.0.
Because of frequent water changes since August 11, have not tested water ammonia or nitrogen since before that date.
August 24: Anchored bookcase and set up 5 gallon aquarium with plants and toy. Zoot’s own bowl currently has a terra cotta plant and his rocks in it.
