I want to marry you !

My Photo
Name:
Location: LONDON, Bethnal Green, United Kingdom

I have been over-assisted and over-protected by loving parents in a safe and healthy environment. As a result I am still single and a very bad cooker. I remember my first kiss which wasn't really a kiss since I didn't know how to kiss. I remember this very skinny tall guy but I really hope he doesn't remember me ! I remember this summer love with Alex, and my best friend going out with him 3 years after. I remember Marc, Geoffroy, and Thomas, all ex-neighbours... all ex-boyfriends, all ex-lickings. I remember this Indian daddy's boy offering me this awful curtain with Piccadily Circus embroidered on it. I remember dancing with this fake blond-haired Spanish guy just to make the true black-haired one next to him jealous. I remember America and these 2 guys : one I was fancing, the other one I went out with. I remember Venice, the bridge, the night and the kiss with this Italian guy... whose name I can't remember. I remember this summer, playing and running after the boy I loved, before I lamentably fell on the floor... I will stop on this sad event which could be a good metaphore of my vain pursuit of Love.

A LIE WITHIN A LIE....

NB: To simplify the comprehension of what follows, I posted
it into English with the great help of my friend JB. But everything was originally written in French:


This is the mail and the picture that JB, one of my 52 husbands, wrote to his friends and family, just after the wedding ceremony:



"Objet: surprise

It is after three days of escapism in Scotland, without Internet, and under an happy and welcome rain,(you will understand why later), that we both decided that I had to announce you the news.
As you probably noticed, since 2 years, I have been to London quite often, sometimes secretely, and sometimes after telling you.
My short trips (4 hours between the villa and Bethnal green!) were only to meet HER.
It is a quite long history - I will synthesize it here - that began five years ago.
Since our very first meeting, something special happened between us. Half hour later she let me take photographs of her and smiled !
She is called Laetitia and I hope will have the opportunity to introduce her to you very soon.
Our relationship gradually grew up in a slow and deep reciprocal discovery, and then transformed into a passionate but discret love because not conventional.
We married last Sunday, the 9 of October in London, and it is the reason why the rain, signs of future happiness, hardly disturbed us in Aberdeen.
I will be back in Paris in few days, aware that I shouldn't have hidden this news to you. I hope that you will not be too angry against me about these late announcement.
But I did not dare to tell you before that inter a lot of qualities Laeti has less than thirty years old !

Life can reserve many surprises. But as long as there is life!..."



And this one of his family's answers:

 
"Hello,
It took me time to answer you as you probably noticed it.
For several reasons, I didn't open my computer and it is Laurent who phoned me. He did not want to tell me anything on the phone. He just asked me to open my mail without any explanation.
Then there was the shock with a mix of different feelings: joy and anger.
I think that direct reactions are not the best ones and I believe that the tone of my mail would have been very different if I had not taken time to think about all this. As for Laurent, he laughed with his usual laught when something wrong is going on. On the telephone he told me: 'You will see, you will see'. I think he believes you are insane.
I don't know what to think: should I be delighted by your happiness or be wondering why such a secret in your own children's back ? Did you fear our reactions or did you want to keep this moment only for you and Laetitia.
Even if I don't believe in what I am going to say, I would say it is your life. After all you came of age years ago.
But for me reality is very different: did you only think what this implies for you, for her and for us?
Since you did not want to let us know about it, and especially you didn't want us to attend your remarriage, we have the right to ask you questions. In spite of your new happiness, we exist and also are your family.
Did you think of the difference in age. She is younger than you, and you will normally die before her. If you have children, therefore for us half brothers, they will be younger than your granchildren. The proverb says "Love makes one blind"
I believe in it.
Isabelle thinks that you lost your mind. François was surprised by my message because he does not have Internet, so I do not hide that he is septic about all this.
I believe that the most difficult has to be done: to be introduced to Laetitia and I think that you did not put her in the best positions. Of course you will not bypass our questions and your granchildren's ones.
 
One kiss for you and Laetitia.
 
PS: Phone me as soon as possible so that we could fix a date to have lunch at my house or at Laurent's in order to meet Laetitia and to have some more explainations.

Christophe."

A WEDDING BY BLOG !

Who would've thought that people can get married through web logs? Well, apparently under a Texas marriage law, it's possible to be Married by Movable Type (and Blogger). Kathleen, the bride, blogs her wedding vows here, while Eric, the groom, blogs his wedding vows here.
Kathleen also says:

"The state of Texas has a little known law governing "informal marriage". For a marriage to be legal, we must publicly declare that we consider each other as spouses and this fact be known to other residents of the state of Texas. We got our certificate this afternoon and have now fulfilled the requirements as there's bound to be a Texas resident or two amongst our joint readership."

They must be the first ever couple to marry via web logs. But not the first one to marry via internet.

LET ME TELL YOU OUR LOVE STORY (6)...

Part 6 : The rise of a very nice Love story
(This very day, YOU let ME enter your life)



This happened last September 2005. This time, I didn't have to spy on you through your mail box slots. YOU opened ME your door. Or more exactly YOU let ME see through your eyes.
This is the letter I wrote YOU and left in all the mail boxes of the building :

"Hi!

Did you know that you are lucky to live in one of the 26 flats of this building that can enjoy the sunrise in the morning?
But have you ever asked yourself what it is like to live in the West part, where the sun sets? Would you like to enjoy it as well?
Let the other 26 flats know what the sunrise looks like and in exchange, they will show you the sunset.

For all the residents of this lovely building and as part of a school project, I, Laëtitia CORDIER, graphic design student in Central St Martins, living in flat 40, decided to bring some entertainment to 50 Roman road. It would be great if you could take part, but THERE IS NO OBLIGATION !

I gave the same disposable camera to the first flat of the ground floor, in each part of the building (sunset & sunrise) hopping that the 2 cameras will reach the top floor winthin few days...or few weeks!
The game is to take one photograph (just one! since here is only 24 exposures... maybe two, only if you think you did something wrong) of the view through your window in the morning. Don’t worry about the quality: I don’t expect any professional pictures... just your own view.
Then, write down the number of your exposure on the sheet of paper, in the appropriated space next to your flat number.
Finally, give the camera and the sheet of paper to your nearest neightboor, living on the same side as you (if you know that nobody leaves there, then give it to the next neighbour again).
The person who takes the last picture should then leave everything in my mail box.

Once again: THERE IS NO OBLIGATION ! I want you to enjoy the project, not to feel forced into anything!
Wether you decide to play the game or not, in order to make the chaine work, I would just ask you not to keep the camera for yourself... It costs only £2 pounds in Tesco, so it really isn’t worth it, compared to the lovely exhibition that everybody will be able to enjoy at the end of this project on the entrance hall board. Date to be announced.

If any questions or problems: I live in flat 40 (10th floor)....the sunrise part...
I would be very happy to hear any of your comments.
Good luck for each team...and most of all, ENJOY!
I’m really looking forward to seeing the result !!!!!"

The 2 cameras are still going around the building, but I hope to be able soon to show YOU all the pictures YOU took from your windows.
