Yo, I'm gettin' hitched and you're invited.

January 7th, 2013
Hello fellow photographers. I've come to know and adore a number of folks on the 365 and I'm formally inviting anyone who want's to attend my rather informal wedding. The event is NO HOST 'cause we're savin' up our pennies to make it to England and to Ireland (in May). If you got nothin' to do on Monday, January 21st at 2:00, come by Mama's Mexican Kitchen, in Seattle... it's gonna' be a rager.

Luv-'n-stuff, Betsie

P.S. If you do make it by and I've never met you, please introduce yourself as I would LOVE to meet you face-to-face.

Congratulations! No flights from Madison for me, but what a fun idea!
January 7th, 2013
If it weren't right in tax season I might drive up there, haven't visited fam for a while! Best wishes!
January 7th, 2013
Well, darn. We'll be in Seattle from the 12th through the 15th, so not quite the 21st. Congratulations on the upcoming nuptials.
FYI, DW and I did a DIY wedding and we are still married some 30+ years later. So, an informal wedding could be a good thing. Good luck!
January 7th, 2013
Someday I'd love to meet you, kiddo. God Bless you on your wedding day.
January 7th, 2013
Haha. I'm there already, in spirit.
Best of British for your forthcoming nuptials. Wish I could make it for real but hoping to see you both in London!

Have a smashing day! Best wishes to you both!
January 7th, 2013
Good luck for a fantastic day :)

@rich_t Cap'n, I'm counting on it! x HB
January 7th, 2013
Congrats!
January 7th, 2013
dang! so wish i could be there... all the best to you and i bet it's gonna be a fabu party... will you be wielding a camera? or will you pass on those duties to someone else? thing is, i can totally see you doing some awesome edgy wedding shots...
January 7th, 2013
@northy I've got the photography thang covered. I'm wishin' I could be behind the camera but I have to trust that the 3 photographers that have volunteered will catch some good shots. One will be the "traditional", one will be "artistic" and one will be "everything". Not by assignment but by hunch. I'll definitely snatch some cameras and shoot. Can't let those three have all the fun! Grrrrl, you know there's gotta' be some edge... I'll find that! Wish you were closer. x Betsie
January 7th, 2013
Congratulations!
Delightful idea and offer to attend, but it's not in my books at this time.
Wishing you and fiance a Long, Healthy & Happy Life together!
Will be looking forward to seeing some of your wedding day pics for sure - have a blast.
January 7th, 2013
Congrats! Wishing you all the best!
January 7th, 2013
Congratulations Bets. I'll be there in spirit...
January 7th, 2013
sounds like a blast! Hope you have a cracking day!

Gosh you guys, THANKS! A law was just passed that my partner and I can marry and I truly can't believe the day has come after 17 years. Coincidentally enough, our day lands on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day... celebrating civil rights indeed!

It's gonna' be fun and kinda' crazy. I think we've already exceeded the capacity of the joint. Um... oh well!

Keep showin' us your world and I appreciate your kind wishes.

xoxo Betsie

Ah, Betsie. . .so perfect and I remember when you let us know that the law had changed. Wish our whole Cincinnati 365 group could just show up on the doorstep. . . I know it will be a rocking party! Congratulations to you and yours!
January 7th, 2013
Would absolutely love to Betsie, but I suppose I'll have to make my excuses. But if you're heading for England ... :-) Warmest congratulations! xx
January 7th, 2013
Hheheheheh, saw this in the discussion list and KNEW it was you! Again, so bummed I am going to miss this. Seriously, if we hadn't already booked flights, etc we would be there. SO HAPPY for you guys! Love you both!!

Hey 365ers, someone better be there and take photos!!!!
January 7th, 2013
@nanalisarocks Lisa, your sister is gonna' be there! I wish you were but completely understand. I'm tellin' you... we're gonna' exceed the fire code or somethin' like that. LUCKILY, the Lava Lounge is two doors down and is owned by the same owner as Mama's. I'm wanting the business to go to him. He's super-cool. Enjoy your journey and we'll chat soon. xoxoxox
January 7th, 2013
WOOOHOOO!!!! wish I could make it!! Congrats and all the best!
January 7th, 2013
Hey Lacey is not so far away. Hmmmm want 4 photographers=). Congrats. Hay do you have some one taking pics as you get ready?
January 7th, 2013
@aprilmilani Oh hell no. I've got a dress but don't really want pictures of me gettin' into it. As for hair and makeup, my friends from the Seattle Opera are gonna' be takin' care of that. I'll have my iphone. Come to Mama's April, take pictures if you want. There's gonna' be some exceptional talent in a very small space. Lotsa' colorful people from all walks of life. Definitly photo op material, TRUST ME!
January 7th, 2013
@eyesofbetsie I hope that law is passed everywhere before this year is done!
January 7th, 2013
Come on you gotta get some cool pics of you getting all dolled up.
Thank you for the invite I think I need a mommas day away for some artsy fun. Sounds like a blast!!!
January 7th, 2013
@eyesofbetsie In Australia we are still fighting for that right . I hope Australia gets with it soon . As I will be attending a couple of great weddings :) Hope you have a great day and share your pics on here .
January 7th, 2013
@aprilmilani SWEET!! If you can make I would LOVE IT!!
January 7th, 2013
Aw, big congrats to you!!! You must share photos, and I would love to see one of each: traditional, artistic, and everything! Have a wonderful day, and you'll be in my thoughts!
January 7th, 2013
Well Betsie, the invite was really cool, and if I could I would just to surprise the heck out of you LOL. Best wishes to you as you take that step.
January 7th, 2013
@karenpics Darlin' we can only hope. It's ironic how people think, "we've come so far"... sure, we have but there's sooooo much further to go. It's a start, it's a step, it's a state. Perhaps people could stop giving a shit about who sleeps with who and let people be happy. Honestly, what's the big deal?
January 7th, 2013
awww I wish I could come and say CONGRATS in person!!! Hmmm maybe I will have to talk to my honey about a little trip!!! hehe, regardless, I wish you both all of the very best !!!! :o)
January 7th, 2013
@digitalrn Honey, the step was taken 17 years ago... it's just gettin' the paper that says I have rights. That's what we all want. Well, not to dismiss that I'm looking forward to the shin-dig. It's gonna' be a whopper.
January 7th, 2013
@harley84 Sister, I'll put you up in my uninhabited, canned ham trailer. Which reminds me that I can't wait to get started on that project either. You're welcome in my house!
January 7th, 2013
Betsie! I am so very very happy for you both. Perfect day to get married. Can't wait to see the fabulous pictures.Wishing a lifetime of happiness to you both!
January 7th, 2013
Deb
Congratulations! It's about time :). Would love to meet you some day :)
January 7th, 2013
Betsie best wishes to you and your partner on this awesomeness! If I was out there I would've definitely attended. Hey we passed that "law" (as ridiculous as it is that we even need one) here in NY too! Can't wait to see some pics :-)
January 7th, 2013
Can't be there in body...wishing you and your partner every happiness.
January 7th, 2013
congratulations Betsie
January 7th, 2013
Congratulations Betsies hope you both have a memorable Day on the 21st , do you know what part of England you may want to visit ? In May as i cant get too Seattle It would have been lovely to have made it thank you for the Invite : - )
January 7th, 2013
@gerry We are aiming for London. We'd love to go to Port Isaac (Cornwall) but likely to kick it in London. Then off to Ireland. We'll see if we can swing it... Right now we'd be lucky to get out of Seattle but we are hopin' for wedding monies to assist us 'over the pond'.
January 7th, 2013
yes there are many nice parts of the Uk Devon is a beautiful location ,and London can be very busy would be lovely if you got the chance to get to London in May i would say on the Train i am about 40mins to a Station known as Waterloo from my House i do not know about milage in my car or lenght of time by car it would be quicer by Train as parking up town is a no go .
January 7th, 2013
Great news! Have the best day and be happy always! I'm hoping that you will pick up the camera because yours would definitely do the special day justice! All the best to you two!
January 7th, 2013
Congratulations, maybe see you in London?
January 7th, 2013
@johnnyfrs Definitely! Will keep you posted!!
January 7th, 2013
Congratulations! Will be a great day, shame it's just a touch too far away - but maybe see you in London town ...
January 8th, 2013
Woohoo, congrats lady!!! I've added it to my calendar.
January 8th, 2013
@trbo I was hopin' you'd say that! Make yourself at home... you'll be surrounded by good folk. Can't wait to see you Travis!
January 8th, 2013
If there is any way I can get down there I will. It is a little challenging to get away mid day. It would be great to meet you on your happy day. Congrats to you and your partner.
January 8th, 2013
@mcrt It'd be GREAT to meet you as well. It's MLK Day, some have the day off... Hopin' you do too! Thanks for the kind wishes. x Betsie
January 22nd, 2013
@eyesofbetsie Congratulations on the big day. I wish I could have gotten away, but I had to head out to a job. I look forward to seeing pictures.
