Well, honestly, as much as LuLu can be justifiable proud of her kid I never thought it a particularly good idea, for a number of reasons, to be putting pictures of the kid out there even if they are just baby pictures and aren't identifiable. But, I kept my mouth shut and fingers off the keyboard. <br /><br />There we have, in Twatrick's post, the manifestation of one of those reasons. Don't think for a second that there aren't others over there who all of a sudden have similar ideas. <br /><br />Just saying that I wouldn't have done that post, or the one on the kid's birthday either.

She basically said to us "the ceremony can be shaped however you want with whatever readings or music or whatever you want except for this bit here, this bit here the Goverment of Quebec requires that I do". Religious ceremony with embeded civil requirements. <br /><br />2) My dear friend Lea married her girlfriend, the officiant was a friend of theirs who was licenced by the Province of Quebec for a period of 24 hours to marry them. The wedding was in a church hall (cheap) and featured a tropical theme, complete with flowers, inflatible palm trees and a brazillian percussion group. No religion, all civil. Done. <br /><br />No one was forced to do anything everyone was happy much love was in the air...
