I have new followers so here are some answers to FAQ about the Homestuck wedding:
the homestuck wedding is a gay wedding. wife 1 (me) is she/her, wife A (the one that’s not me) is she/they
We are technically already married! We originally planned to wed on 4/13/2024, but a member of our state legislature flipped parties in April 2023, and suddenly Republicans had a veto-proof majority in both houses of a state whose citizens had already voted to ban our marriage once before. In a fit of minor panic, we grabbed our immediate family and took a trip to the courthouse for a Surprise Emergency Wedding on 4/13/2023. The “wedding” we’re planning is actually a first anniversary party!
I’m not live-streaming/live-blogging/live-anything the event. I’m going to be pretty busy that day
it’s flattering that so many of you want to attend the Homestuck Wedding but please don’t, I don’t have that kind of catering budget
I’ll share pictures here, no need to track down my dad’s facebook page
The wedding website encourages guests to wear “anything that makes you feel comfortable and fancy,” plus an additional “pop of color” based on this curiously specific list of 12 colors assigned to 12 different ranges of birthdates haha it’s not mandatory don’t worry about it
(I don’t know what’s worse: guests reading the suggested dress code and thinking I’m into Homestuck, or guests reading the suggested dress code and thinking I’m into astrology)
(that’s a lie, it would be so much worse if they thought I was into astrology)
The guests, for the most part, do not know homestuck. I intend to keep it that way. I do NOT want my aunts and uncles googling “homestuck,” christ
My brother knows. When we told the family our planned wedding date, he said nothing, but gave me one of those I Know What You Are stares and all I can say is well buddy this is your fault, if you didn’t want to be the best man at the Gay Homestuck Wedding then you shouldn’t have showed your sister “this neat webcomic I found” all those years ago! Reap what you sow, bro!!
We’re not having children, but during a joke discussion of what would happen if my wife’s sister went into labor at our wedding, we said she’d have to name the baby Casey or Billious Slick or Rosemary or Davekat or something… which is how “Rosemary” ended up on my in-laws baby name shortlist
I know I will not see the gates of heaven, it’s fine, I’ve made peace with the consequences of my actions

putting together a wedding guest list and realizing I wildly mis-estimated the number of people we’ll probably have is reminding me why I started studying statistics in the first place:
I am absolute dogshit at basic normal-person mental estimates
please I need at LEAST three numbers to adequately describe this dataset, I am going to have to explain the concept of a 95% confidence interval to the caterer

I need to email the caterer
“email the caterer” has been on my list of things I need to do for five days
the thought of emailing the caterer fills me with dread
truly no one has suffered as I have suffered

you can tell I’m a star trek fan because my dad asked which museum is it that I’m having my wedding in and I said “the one with the whales”

pros of doing the courthouse marriage about a year before the big wedding celebration with friends and family and a caterer and shit:
-insurance
-taxes
-it was fun <3
-wife acquisition! earlier!! yay
cons:
-now all the complicated phone calls and emails and planning and shit are under a pall of “but we’re already married, why do I have to plan a party?”
(because you still want to have the party, dorkface, that means you have to plan it first) (they should invent a kind of party that you can attend without having to plan)
