UPDATE: White writes about his wedding here.
Great post from Dave White about his upcoming wedding:
I admit that I was somewhat thoughtless in that I had to be asked to sit next to him while he did it. He decided it was a nice moment of togetherness for us to watch the computer screen together. I wasn’t reluctant to agree; it just didn’t occur to me to think it up first. And it did feel kind of like a historic moment when he typed my name into the ‘Party A’ box and his name into the ‘Party B’ box. Back in Texas in 1997 when we got Not-Married and we registered for gifts, we’d always flip a coin to see who was bride and who was groom.
I still vividly remember White’s account of the above-mentioned not-wedding in Instinct. The event took place in Dallas, at the Lakewood Theater, a hop, skip, and a jump from where Ron was living at the time. Also, White said that his ideal wedding band would be Yo La Tengo. That made a big impression on me at the time.
