Great news
My g/f has proposed to me, suppose this means we're engaged. We're already making wedding plans. The wedding is to be next year, we're going to have a civil service for a few of our friends and family to come to then a much more elaborate afair for our pagan friends.

Don't get me wrong I'm over the moon, I love her intensly but I don't have anyone to give me away. I haven't spoken to my parents for over a year, and to honest I would want my bitch mother anywhere near me if you paid me, my dad on the otherhand is ok, he had a bit of a wobbly when I came out to them but he's spoken to me since (but not for a year) the trouble is if BitchMother says no to him he won't defy her and to be honest I wouldn't force him, it wouldn't be worth the stress.

So I'm left with no one to give me away, I have no long term significant friends and haven't met anyone I feel that close to as a friend for so long I can't remember.
