“Mawage. Mawage is wot bwings us togeder today. Mawage, that bwessed awangment, that dweam wifin a dweam … And wuv, tru wuv, will fowow you foweva … So tweasure your wuv.”- Princess Bride

Almost every little girl dreams about her wedding, becoming a princess for the day, and marrying her prince charming. This past weekend was a big deal in my polycule. We celebrated the marriage of my two partners, Amie and Patrick. The whole weekend was full of love, togetherness, and fun.

I woke up at 7:30 in the morning on Saturday February 1st to start getting ready for a day of preparation before the wedding. I double checked to make sure that I had everything packed and ready to go, because we were going to stay at the Westin Copley Hotel in Boston for the night!

After packing, I started on my adventure for the day. I was meeting up with Amie, Patrick, Amie’s other girlfriend Lily, and her best friend from Virginia at Luminous Nails, where I had made appointments for each of us to get a manicure and pedicure. The staff at the salon went all out for us. They bought us a bottle of Rose, Martinelli’s Sparkling Cider for Patrick, and a fruit platter! They also had congratulations balloons for the bride and groom. It was already starting off as a magical weekend.

When they showed up for the appointment, I was ecstatic! I hadn’t seen Amie in a few weeks. Patrick and Amie walked in with their sashes on! Amie wore a white sash that said “Bride to Be,” and Patrick wore a black sash saying “Groom to Be.” I couldn’t help but smile when I saw them both together, the other two that make our Throuple. I felt so much love, and then I saw her smile, and I melted.

We all chose different colors for our nails and toe nails, and Patrick even got his toes painted yellow! I chose silver with sparkles, and Amie did a french manicure with acrylic nails. We sat there, sipping our drinks, and feeding off of each others excitement for the weekend.

After we were finished, we went out to eat at Vic’s Waffle House in Tewksbury/Lowell. If you have not been to this place, you should, it has some of the best breakfasts I have ever had. And given the name, they have phenomenal waffles! My fiance Scott met us there to eat!

While we were waiting for the food to be prepared, Amie got so excited and showed us the wedding line up for the next day using Salt and Pepper shakers (the bride and groom), and equal packets (groomsman), and Sweet and Low packets (Bridesmaids). It was very creative, and very amusing!

We all broke our diets for the weekend. We have all been working really hard at the Keto diet. I am down 60lbs! But their wedding was a great weekend to cheat. I ended up getting the biscuits and gravy (one of my all time favorite breakfasts), and a chocolate milk. Yes, I am a big kid.

I continued my day from here by heading back to the house to get David. David and Scott were groomsman in the wedding, and I was a bridesmaid! Amie and Patrick headed into Boston to get settled in their room. We made a few more stops, at the Billerica Smoke Shop to pick up cigars for the Bride and Groom, and then headed into Alewife to pick up the train into the hotel.

After we arrived at the hotel, Amie took us to see the room that they were getting married in. They got married at the hotel in the Gloucester Room. When we walked into the double doors, we walked into a beautiful small room, with chandeliers that looked like white fireworks going off in the air. It was absolutely gorgeous. Amie and I held hands, and I could feel her excitement.

Patrick went and looked out the window, and he was like “Oh My God! Really?” We all went to the window to see what he was looking at. And he continued to tell us that one of his work stops for Boston Duck Tours was right outside the window at the Prudential Building. We all started to laugh. Dr. Fabulous (which is his stage name for the Duck Tours) will now be able to point out where he got married to Mrs. Fabulous on his tour!

Later on that night we went out to a Brazilian Steakhouse for dinner called Fogo de Chao. We met up with Amie’s sister and her brother-in-law for the dinner. This was an amazing experience, and the food was exceptional. If you have never been to a Brazilian Steakhouse, it is basically all you can eat meat. They come out with different cuts of different kinds of meat ranging from Chicken, to fillet mingion. We also indulged is some amazing deserts.

That night we all piled into Amie and Patricks room and just talked and snuggled, and slowly slid into food comas. A nice calm night before the big day.

The Big Day

My alarm went off at 7:30am again, however, I was already awake. I was so excited to start the day. I got up, took a shower and put on some clothes to start the day. David and I went to Starbucks to pick up breakfast and coffee for everyone, because we were all going to need a lot of caffeine today.

When I got back to Amie and Patricks room, the makeup artist and the hair dresser arrived. Amie got her makeup done first, using beautiful rose gold tones; and I got my hair done. This took several hours, and the bridal party all began to arrive, including Patrick’s mother and father!

When Amie was finished with her hair and makeup, words can’t describe the love I felt looking at her. She was breath-takingly stunning. She was radiating beauty, excitement, and love. It brought tears to my eyes. Looking into her beautiful brown eyes melted my heart. And then she put her wedding dress on, and the butterflies in my heart flew!

Patrick was beyond handsome. He dressed in his families tartan kilt, complete with flashes and a sporran. To add to the affect of the day, he wore his Dread Pirate Roberts sword, because the big theme surrounding their wedding was “The Princess Bride.” This movie is Amie’s favorite of all time. Patrick proposed to her while they were watching the movie.

I finished getting ready. I put on my yellow dress with white polka dots, and went to show Amie and Patrick. They both gave me the biggest smile. I could see the love in their eyes. I felt more beautiful today than I had ever felt before.

There was so much excitement filling the room, and so much positive energy. Not to mention a lot of good liking people dressed in suits, including my fiance Scott, and my boyfriend David. Soon it was time to make our way down the the Gloucester Room to line up to walk down the aisle. We all grabbed our bouquets, of a beautiful assortment of white and yellow flowers, that Amie’s sister had put together for everyone, and went to the elevators to take us to the spot where Amie and Patrick would become man and wife!

The violin started, playing the Game of Thrones theme song, and Patrick began down the aisle with his mother. Everyone followed close behind him. When it was my turn, I locked arms with Scott and we proceeded out to the aisle. I first saw some of my friends as I entered the room, Then I made eye contact with Patrick and we just smiled at each other. I could see all the love and happiness in his eyes, and I felt warm inside.

Soon we were all up front, and the JP announced for people to stand for the bride. The violin started and out came this beautiful angelic goddess. Tears welled in my eyes with so much happiness. Amie was holding hands with Patrick’s father as he walked her down the aisle.

I turned to look at Patrick, I have heard you should always look at the groom the first time they see their bride, and this is for a good reason. Patrick had an ear to ear smile as he watched Amie make her way to him. Tears started forming in his eyes, tears of joy.

The ceremony was absolutely beautiful. Their vows were very well thought out, and to my surprise really focused a lot on their poly lives. They vowed to respect and support their other relationships, and realize that they do not complete each other, they compliment each other. Words couldn’t express the happiness and pride I felt for these two! Patrick also wrote a beautiful vow to his new son, this is Amie’s son from a previous marriage. He vowed to love him and take care of him, it was heartfelt and sincere.

Going into the wedding I was a little nervous, because this is a day that there was a lot of change. Many thoughts had been running through my head prior to the wedding. Will they still love me the same? Will I mean less now that they are married? It was all irrational thought, but it was there.

And then the JP announced that they were man and wife and that they could kiss, and all of my fears went away. I wasn’t scared anymore, I was so happy. Happy for my two loves who just vowed to be in each others lives forever, and I knew that I would hold a big place in that life. I felt compersion like I had never felt it before. Compersion is the feeling of happiness you feel when you see your loved one with another, and at one point in my life I didn’t think I would ever be able to feel it. But today I felt it beyond what words can measure. Two of my loves have found so much happiness in each other, and with me.

After the ceremony we did all of the wedding pictures. The photographer was amazing. Amie and Patrick thought of every combination of picture possible. And even made sure that they got special pictures with the people in our polycule. I also got a special picture with the two of them, just the throuple. I felt so important and so loved.

The next stop after getting pictures done, was Lolita Mexican Restaurant. I love Mexican food, and this place was amazing. There was not one bad thing off of the wedding menu. I especially liked the tacos! We did the traditional garter and bouquet toss! And then got ready for the wedding cake!

They also made an amazing wedding cake. They brought it out and on top was a little cake topper of an owl and a fox. Amie is the owl, and Patrick is the fox. They are their spirit animals.

They cut their cake in the most unique way! They cut it with Patrick’s sword! It was really funny, and really amazing. We got an Uber back to the hotel and started the after party in their room. It was full of dancing, laughing, and David and I sang a song to Amie and Patrick. We sang “I See the Light” from the movie tangled.

This weekend brought so much to light for me. I have never been more secure in my relationships than I have been feeling. I am surrounded by love, and seeing two of the loves of my life get married, has made me excited for my wedding to Scott in July!

Amie and Patrick, I love you infinitely and forever! Thank you for sharing this most important day in your lives with me. I wish you so much happiness and love in your lives together, I look forward to seeing where our journey takes us!
