To everything .... turn, turn, turn. An Announcement...
Dear Crew, friends and mates...
This was a decision that didn't come easily, in fact, Neo and I have been discussing this for over a year.
Our little site has been up and running for almost 5 years and as with all things in life, seasons change and it's time to...

And so to bed....
The Faithful Bride is now officially closed. You can still read the messages, but you can no longer add new posts.
I'd like to thank Neo, from the bottom of my heart, for her unwaivering dedication to this site. Without her amazing wealth of knowledge and experi...

May She Sail Onwards on Endless Winds
In our hearts, and in our memories. The awesome and fun times we have had here upon her decks. The disco parties, the smores, the mosh pits, the cows, penguins, llamas, badgers, chickens, and all manner of sea creatures becoming acclimated to our presence.
Our fe...

Sunset
Sunset and evening star,
And one clear call for me,
And may there be no moaning of the bar,
When I put out to sea.
But such a tide as moving seems asleep,
Too full for sound and foam,
When that which drew from out the boundless deep
Turns again home.

Silly question
I understand the forums are shutting down here, but will we be able to access the archives? And if not, when does the site officially close? I'd like a chance to go back and save a few more things from here.

But Hello to everyone moving over to the NEW BRIDE! I hope it will be just as much a wondeful home as this was, and I know Nervy's doing her best to make sure of it.

It must be significant that we were all so very upset at this Faithful Bride closing down. I have been on other sites and just shrugged when they closed - or not even bothered returning to them anyway.
But the Bride has been different. Why?
