Two meat buffet at the wedding reception as reported in today’s NYTimes (link requires Exiled, Episcopalian Voodoo Priestess):

“Stan thought it was a very bizarre gay date, but we were both interested in theology,” said Mr. Finley, now 35 and a candidate for ordination in the Episcopal Church. “When the monk came by with the holy water I saw Stan take what I assumed was a deep and profoundly pious bow. Later I realized it was because he was wearing a suede waistcoat which he didn’t want to get stained.”
[...]
Eventually their relationship came to include a weekly visit with the Finley family in Brookline. “Stan’s mother had dinner at our house once,” recalled Mr. Finley, who, unlike Mr. McGee, had revealed his leanings to his family at age 13. “Everyone but her knew at that point that Stan was gay. When we walked into the dining room where a portrait of my grandmother hangs, she turned to me and said: ‘Your grandmother is very beautiful.’ I said, ‘With a fur and pearls I could look just as beautiful.’

Standing athwart history, yelling “Whoa nelly”.

Although I’m pretty sure one of them may have naturally acquired the fur after puberty, is it customary for gay guys give each other pearl necklaces?

Just asking.
