In case anyone wasn't sure on the pronunciation, my last name is pronounced "Lowry-nen", not "Laurie-nen." (That's how I write it phonetically for English speakers)
Common misspelling of my husband's first name is "Pecka." Just don't call him "Pecker." Lol

I just wanted to ask you, are you sure you want to use your name and surname here? Plus photo. Because if anyone googles it, they immediately see this forum, and can come read here anything you write.

That’s a good point. I just wasn’t sure what to put as my username.
I’ll think more about a better one. Thanks for looking out for me.

One of the highlights of our wedding for my husband was me allowing him to wear a tie that was Nashville Predators colors, lol. I think his special interests should only be celebrated and encouraged, not squashed, so I wouldn't have it any other way either.

Whenever there's a full moon, I can't help but stare.

The full moon is beautiful. Where I live, there aren't many street lights and there's no light pollution, so when it's a full moon, it's very bright outside. It looks cool.

Festivities are finally over for the night, time to relax together as a married couple for the first time :) Our relationship doesn't feel any different, except I think we've fallen in love with each other even more.

There is something special in the wedding day, knowing that everyone looks at your man and thinks "damn he's such a catch, and so is his wife." ;)

Haha, I think everyone knows he is a catch ;)

If I can die in my sleep tonight I would be happy. But I know I will wake up to another horrible day and lonely future.

I hope you tell your therapist how you're feeling and what you've been thinking about so you can get some extra help for this.

Even this

I can't even render a image of "God hates autistic" without it being moderated anymore.

Hey Tony, you have come really far. You have some peeps to call friends, you are doing a lot better. Sit back and realize you have moved forward. Some people maybe threatened by you but don't stop living because of idiots. You need to be your best version, and don't test us with meltdowns. Okay?
Lou Laurinen
Officially Mr. and Mrs. Laurinen! ❤️

We’re still partying lol so I’ll get back to everything later. Just popped on to thank everyone for the well-wishes. We are so grateful.
Thank you everyone for being such a bright spot in my life.

Temperatures have been up & down, but I've now collected enough maple tree juice to start boiling.

Currently, because it's well below freezing outside, the tree juice is in the form of ice. Two 5 gal. buckets of ice.

My life is getting worse. Why can't the almighty end it already. I had so many close calls with deaths since 2024 it's near 100 but this almighty jerk keeps saving me from death. Maybe taking a half a bottle of ibuprofen will do it instead of trying to walk off the platform. Trying to get hit by a car walking in traffic. Still being ostracize by Goths emo outcasts which makes me lose all my friends and community's.

I am sorry Tony. Why are these people trying to ostracize you?

Maybe there's a cosmic reason why you're still around. That there's more to your existence than a desire to interact with others.

That perhaps one day you'll figure that out and move on to something better.

Enjoy your day. Don`t know if you're doing the big american style wedding or keeping things small. We kept it VERY small (10-12 people only) but it is a memory I will never forget! Are we getting any pictures?

@kenaij Yes, small ceremony. Only family and close friends.
There will be pictures!

I'm losing my so-called friends and community again because of Prada and emo-goth snobs invading my life ignoring me wherever I go.

Reptiles are not slimy. That would be amphibians.

Most lizards have very soft skin too, in my generation most kids had a pet lizard, We didn't keep them in cages though, they were wild and we just hand fed them to make them friendly. When they get used to you they let you pick them up.

Unless the amphibians are toads, who tend to be dry & rough.
