My Triad Had a Commitment Ceremony Last Weekend (MFM)

Last weekend, just a couple days after our 2nd anniversary together as a triad, my closed triad had a commitment ceremony. My husband and my boyfriend are now my husband and my husband. Okay, so it’s not legally recognized, but in our hearts (and our handfasting), we made a lifelong commitment to each other.

We “eloped” to beautiful New England in the fall with changing leaves in the background and an amazing poly-friendly wedding planner/photographer(seriously, check out Emma Thurgood Weddings if a commitment ceremony is on your mind). Our ceremony was in a 19th century gothic revival church turned AirBnB.

My legal husband and I had been together for 9 years (now 11) when we welcomed our other partner into our life. After about a year, he expressed a desire for us to become his husband and wife.

It wasn’t always smooth sailing - my family does not approve and my non-legal husband’s family doesn’t even know yet. But we’re so happy we’ve all found each other. We’re also not “out” as a triad to most people IRL - he’s just our “roommate” to coworkers, acquaintances, and distant family members. We also faced a lot of pushback on our ages - he’s 13 years younger than my legal husband and 10 years younger than me.

We went against the grain of a lot of advice as we started dating as a couple, but we all love each other equally. We also started out long-distance and finally closed the gap about 8 months ago.

I just felt like sharing this happy moment with the community.

Trying to decide whether or not to purchase excursions

Hello, my husband and I will be taking our first 2 cruises later this year - one on Margaritaville at Sea and one on Virgin Voyages. He’s never cruised before and I’ve only been on a couple cruises via NCL and Carnival with friends to Nassau. I think Nassau is the perfect port because you don’t need an excursion - beach, shopping, and historical sights are right by the pier.

Our upcoming Margaritaville at Sea cruise goes to Freeport and I’ve heard you need an excursion there because there’s not much to do by the port so I booked one.

My question is about our upcoming Virgin Voyages cruise - it goes to Phillipsburg, Fort-de-France, Bridgetown, Castries, and St. John. How are these ports? Are they close to beaches and shopping or should I invest in an excursion?

Foldie as a personal item?

Does anyone here take the Foldie bag as a personal item on Breeze? I’ve never had a problem with it on Southwest or United, but this will be my first time flying Breeze.
