Marraige and other ties

Isma and I will both be wearing suits for the wedding, although we're not dressing identically: he's bought a black suit with blue pinstripping and I bought a chocolate brown suit. We went searching for ties (for both of us) and a pink shirt (for me; he already has a white shirt) but alas, had an unsuccessful morning of it.

This is the last (I think) detail left to be dealt with for the wedding.

Aside, of course, for packing and other prep for the honeymoon (but that's a separate if related thing from the wedding itself).

CFS: BEST GAY POETRY and BEST LESBIAN POETRY

A Midsummer Night's Press announces two new annual anthologies:

BEST GAY POETRY edited by Lawrence Schimel
and
BEST LESBIAN POETRY edited by Linda Alvarez

For the 2008 editions of this exciting new series celebrating the best in gay/lesbian poetry, A Midsummer Night's Press invites submissions of poems published during 2007.

Poems can have appeared in print or online magazines, journals, or anthologies; we are also willing to consider poems from books or chapbooks first published in 2007, even if the poem was originally published previously in periodicals, so long as the poet has the right to reprint the poem.
