Yesterday in AIM chat Palmyra stated that she didn’t really like the Cowboys. I asked her, as is natural for a diehard Redskin fan to do if he meets a Texan who doesn’t like the 'girls, to marry me. With whatever amount of enthusiasm she felt necessary, she said “sure”. So we’re virtually engaged. Palmyra and I have decided that we’re going to stay virtually engaged for a week and then get virtually married this Saturday, which happens to be her birthday. Feel free to send URLs of tables, chairs, china and really ugly sheets china as wedding gifts. Oh, and I need a best man. And Palmyra needs bridesmaids. We’re going to honeymoon in Normandy. I’ve got a house there. ---

Hey, I’m already **Crunchy Frog’s** best man, but what the heck, I’ll go for two. I throw bitchin parties! Oh, and the Cowboys can all burn in hell, as far as I’m concerned. ---

I can skitter down the aisle throwing flower petals from at least two pairs of appendages, depending on how my balance is that day. And I can provide lovely silver webbing for decorating the pews if it is to be a church wedding. -----😛 x o x o —////\\ ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Palmyra \* > \*\*Conservative clothing…? it’s okay… just nothing frumpy, i hate frumpy and i guarantee that my dress won’t be conservative. 😉 It may not even be _white_… \*\* You know, I saw the most gorgeous dress at the mall yesterday when I went homecoming dress shopping with DigitalMuse. It was at this store called Hot Topic, which is basically a goth store. THe first thing that crossed my mind when I saw it was wedding dress. After that was ren-fest. It was this prety off white color with lace and stuff. It was so pretty. But if that’s not for you there was a dark maroon and black one with spider webbing. And there is always the black vinyl route, but that’s probably better for the honeymoon. And Tasha you can’t complain, I’m still dressed. ---

**hypergirl** i looooove Hot Topic!! they have some wings i want for my halloween costume, but i think they’re over priced… ANYway… i would look ravishing in maroon, but black would just washout my complexion. ---

Jester, I assume you are prepared to throw the party? A man cannot have his freedom restricted without due process, we call that process the bachelor party… Go Giants, beat those Dallas Cowpies… ---

Paddy woo is getting married! cool! May I be a bridesmaid? Please? I’ll even wear shoes if you wnat me to. No promises on underware. My senior prom I wore a hot topic dress. I didn’t have time to prepare for prom so my SO did everything. (I was taking 16 credits at the local university as well as doing high school and working part time.) He bought my shoes, dress, etc. I just blocked out time and he took care of getting my hair done, make up whole thing. So I went goth. It was that kind of prom, we had a blast. ---

By all means yes you can be a bridesmaid. the shoes thing: if i wear something Hot Topic-esque, i’m wearing my kneehigh leather boots, so sans shoes is fine 🙂 [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/iampunha-and-palmyra-virtually-engaged/37058.md?page=2)
