Another idea for a party!

[beautifulduckweed]

So I occasionally say things like "I love this book so much, I'd totally make out with it at a party." Or, somewhat more rarely, "I love this book so much, I want to marry it."

octi_stripe and I were talking about this the other day, and she said "Well, why don't we marry those books?"

GENIUS.

So some time in the near-ish future, i.e., once Kelly gets back from Manchester, I want to throw a party wherein we bring our very favoritest books, dress swanky, marry them in some kind of deeply silly ceremony (as opposed to the utterly serious varieties of biblio-human marriage ceremonies) and eat wedding cake baked from scratch (likely courtesy of myself and imfallingup), as well as other assorted bits of tastiness. And then maybe we can take turns reading our favorite bits from those favorite books? And figure out other fun, stupid things to do? I don't think this will be too much of a problem with you lot.

Thoughts?

See? this is exactly what gay-marriage opponents warned us would happen.

That sounds like an amazing party. The problem is though, is so many books to choose from! I'd probably have to cop out and just go with The Giver, even though there are so many tempting options.

i'd scandalize everyone with a happy polyamorous marriage! though 'the once and future king' would be my primary partner, cause i've not-secretly loved hir since junior high

I cant be faithful to just one book (you are the chapter of my hour!) so I will opt in for the slutty bookmaid position.

I can hear me now, alternating between flailing amongst Watership Down and A Prayer for Owen Meany and Here on Earth and The House at Pooh Corner.
