It would all depend on the context.
If my child's life was at stake and I had already lived a good life and they had all their life ahead of them, then yes, I would give my life for them.
But...
I'm not going to throw my life away simply so someone else might live. I'm only 28 yrs old. |

^^I agree with you baby to a point.
Being married once, I was pretty much demanded to have my future sis-in-law in my wedding when I didn't want to. We just didn't get along and I really didn't like her. I had to overlook all that and kindly asked her to be one of my bridesmaids.
She accepted and then she took over my wedding. Every decision that I made was pretty much overturned because she had a better one and everyone didn't fight her because she was married and knew what she was talking about. I finally had enough and exploded four weeks before the wedding and told everyone, including the future husband that this was my wedding, and at the time I thought my only wedding, and I wanted it to be the way I wanted it, not like what someone else wanted.
So I had everything the way I wanted, except for her standing up there with me.
This is your day!! Don't compromise what you want for other people's feelings. If you don't want them in your wedding, get them all together and explain to them that you want a small wedding and being that said I would love for all of you to be in it, but unfortunately I can't.
As far as your younger sisters, I like the idea of them doing the readings and being hostess' (handing out programs). Also, an idea. Instead of a bridesmaid, why not have one of them be your personal assistant? She can make sure the guys are getting ready, flowers are in place, dj is scheduled, photographer in place, helping you get ready, calming down the parents, that kind of thing. I know I wish I had one!!
Good luck with everything!! |

I just thought that since we have a Scottish recipe thread, then we should have an Irish one too.
Dublin Coddle 1lb/ 500g best sausages 8oz/ 250g streaky bacon 1/2pt/ 300ml/ 1 cup stock or water 6 medium potatoes 2 medium onions salt and pepper (serves four)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cut the bacon into 1in/ 3cm squares. Bring the stock to the boil in a medium saucepan which has a well-fitting lid, add the sausages and the bacon and simmer for about 5 minutes. Remove the sausages and bacon and save the liquid. Cut each sausage into four or five pieces. Peel the potatoes and cut into thick slices. Skin the onions and slice them. Assemble a layer of potatoes in the saucepan, followed by a layer of onions and then half the sausages and bacon. Repeat the process once more and then finish off with a layer of potatoes. Pour the reserved stock over and season lightly to taste. Cover and simmer gently for about an hour. Adjust the seasoning and serve piping hot.

The Matchmaker is a really cute movie too.
It has Janeane Garofalo in it.
It's about: Marcy is an assistant to Senator John McGlory, who is having problems with a re-election campaign. Desperate for Irish votes, McGlory's chief of staff Nick sends Marcy to Ireland to trace McGlory's relatives or ancestors. Marcy arrives at the village of Ballinagra when it is preparing for an annual Matchmaking Festival. A well-dressed, handsome and single young lady, she becomes the center of attention for two professional matchmakers, Dermot and Millie, as well as for bartender Sean.

I think I could handle the endless daylight....it would be the darkness that would bother me. I can always get a sleep mask if I wanted to fall asleep. |

Dia dhuit! (Hello!)
I just wanted to introduce myself to this awesome forum. My name is Christy in I live in Denver, Colorado. I am a Client Manager for an environmental engineering company. I love to read, play and cook! I have never been to Ireland but badly want to go one of these days.
I thank my grandda for my Irish heritage. He never let me forget that the Irish are the salt of the earth. Most of the Gaelic that I know, I have learned from him telling me stories. I can still remember him telling me before going to bed " Oíche mhaith, codladh sámh, mo chroí ". (Good night and sleep well, my heart)
I'm so glad I have found this forum. I even have my boyfriend now hooked on this site.
Well, I shall end now.
Slán agus beannacht leat! (Goodbye and blessings with you!)
