To Tell The Truth....

badstarWell, after Chelle's comment about my tattoo being such a huge potential conversation piece at the wedding, I've had some thoughts.
Mom and Mike wanted to know what it meant, they didn't press for further details when I said that it was an ancient Greek prayer. If others do ask for a translation at the wedding, I was thinking about making up a "translation" of some little prayer for inspiration or somesuch.
On one hand...what is going to give me the least headache and hold the least potential to cause a stir?
On the other, do I really want to lie? Yes, I thought about all this in general well before getting ancient Greek scrawled on my back. Yes, I signed up and paid for this, and this is a situational thing.
And on all counts, frankly, I hope that people just remember that it's a wedding, and not my wedding, and maybe just ignore what's written on my back for the day.
Though at this point I've decided, any other time, no question about it I'd tell the truth. I guess I'm still deciding what I'll do, and probably won't decide til I'm faced with the question. That's probably the best way to leave it right now.
I'm not that hung up on iut, so no worries, advice not required. Just musing here.
