Fikki and I have been planning to get married on May 15th for some time...but Fikki...being a man...had a hard time deciding if he wanted to honor his heritage by marrying in the Armenian Church or his present by marrying in the church that has reached out to him.  Me?  It didn't matter.  As long as I didn't have to renounce anything I believe in or say I believed in something I didn't, I was good.

Thus the problem, the Armenian Church is in the middle of a priest crisis.  They don't have a full time priest and the visiting priests evidently don't schedule ahead more than a week or two.  Every time Fikki talked to someone at the church about getting married they told him it depended on the priest whether we would need to have an Armenian Godparent (Best Man or Maid of Honor) and if I would have to renounce the United Methodist Church...since it is not an Orthodox Church. 

In the end we decided since we couldn't get firm information from the Armenian Church we would marry at the Church in which I am a member and Fikki attends with me, Sharon United Methodist, the ski slope church across from SouthPark Mall.  All went well with only the occasional snafu to add to the fun (e.g. the biting ants crawling out of my bouquet)..in the end we are now officially married and I am officially L.A.M.B.
