That's a great suggestion. Now that you mention it I do recall that in the Caribbean ports there is lots of jewelry shopping promoted. Perhaps we will keep that in mind.
Sorry to hear about your loss....and thank you for this reminder. It's funny but as I was typing the thought about our health, I was thinking of that. I have certainly had some sudden and shocking losses in my life before (a dear friend of mine was aboard that plane that crashed into a house outside Buffalo in Feb. 2009....and in June of 2006 a terrible car crash killed 5 teenage girls from the High School where I coach cheerleading----and four of the girls killed were from my squad). So you are right.....banking on being healthy is is probably not wise.....and, like I said, more time that passes, the more seriously we discuss our options in terms of going somewhere to get legally recognized to at least protect our rights in terms of hospital visitation, healthcare decision-making, etc.
True...we don't need paper...but some rights when it comes to tax benefits, estate/beneficiary, healthcare, etc. would sure be nice!!
You're right, though....if we decided to do a
DCL wedding we probably WOULD have friends there, it would just be an entirely different group of friends. I'm sure we have plenty of DIS friends and DCL friends who might not really consider travelling up to dull Rochester for our big gay wedding.....but would jump at any excuse to book another DCL cruise or trip to WDW (or both)!!
