It has begun...and is

In spite of the opinion held by many people I've come in contact with (all of them non-bloggers) who say that blogging is the most self-absorbed way of communicating there is (notwithstanding the auto-biography, I'm sure), I have decided to write a blog about getting married.

I've never seen the movie "Rachel Getting Married" (and can't say I've heard great things about it, never-mind that the star, whom I can only really take seriously as Princess Mia, received an Oscar nod), but I have to admit I like the tense of the phrase: it makes it seem like getting married is an ever present experience, not just something that will happen one day in the future, but something that is always in the process of happening.

And so far, I'm am certainly finding that to be true.
