I've still not come up with a good nickname for The Date yet but after the reception while we were at the after party in a club she asked me if I felt any different. I, being the honest and sometimes to a fault person I am replied, "Not really." At that moment I wondered if I had said the wrong thing but to my relief she said, "Me neither!"
That might have been my first "Wheww" moment.
Since she has been understandably giddy. I'm not sure if it is because of me or the present we received from Witchy. The gray, walking, meowing present:)
One more wedding thing, the cards got separated from the presents at one point when I picked them up Saturday morning. We received many generous and gracious gifts but the one we can't figure out who it was from is a family album that was engraved with Friday's date.
We know all of the other presents but we want to make sure that everyone is properly thanked and we can't figure this one so any help would be appreciated in fixing this embarrassing mistake on my part.
My fantasy football lineups today look like normal as everyone is off their bye weeks but Percy Harvin. My NASCAR team has ninety nine points to make up in three races. My opponent has used up most of his drivers already while I have Gordon and Johnson for the remaining races as well as some quality B list drivers. I'm in no danger of slipping to third as I hold a commanding lead over the other fifteen drivers except one. I'll catch him!

Wonderful Evening!
From all of the preparation to the after party at a club everything couldn't have been better! I had to arrange for a guest blogger for the ceremony, Teehee, and then at the reception I handed my blog over to Skate. Both were awesome in their duties!
Two more wonderful friends showed up after ten at the reception Mr. Feeny (again formerly Baker) and Red. Everyone had so much fun in the celebration!
I want to keep my Northern Brothers in my thoughts as one of them had surgery yesterday. I pray you have a swift recovery!
Thank you everyone for helping make this one of the best nights ever:)

Receptionary Enjoyment
The ceremony went very well and we moved onto the reception!
Candy is being passed out as the newly weds share their first dance.
Smiles are abound, including the usualy stoic groom. Surprised at the lack of tears.
The food supply is almost exhausted, thankfully the alcohol is abundant.
The background music is quite delightful. It is being provided Elton Joel. All of it is played from memory. Really talented young man.
A lot of well dressed good looking people are still here being social. The groom left his t-shirt at home is adorned with a sharp looking black dress shirt with subtle stripes.
Beersnob continues to look for people to add to the video.

The Minutes Before
Everything is set, my shirt is tucked in, much to my dismay...at least my jeans are acceptable although The One accused them of being stained earlier.
Tricia is being so difficult not letting me blog during the ceremony. I'll show her.

All Prepared
Everything is as ready at the Theatre as it can get. I'll have a guest blogger to blog the ceremony while I'm busy.
We have a plethora of food and drink! The license is all squared away, Beersnob is going to shoot the ceremony.
Witchy is taking care of The Date right now and getting her and The Things ready.
T is dealing with the bulk of the food and Chianti is on music.
I've got Engineer doing lights and sound

Here
The day two weeks in the making is here. It's been fairly smooth thus far and I expect it to continue:) Everything is decorated, food is ordered, and guests are notified!
I have some cooking to do today to make sure we have more than enough food for everyone:) Witchy and I are going grocery shopping later on for the ingredients.
The Things are officially playing hooky today. I'll be blogging from when I get there to when we leave the theatre tonight, well except for the times when I'm a little busy with the ceremony.
The Date is still sleeping away since there is no reason to get her up right now. Thing 2 is in the bathroom, Thing 1 is still out cold up stairs and will probably be sleeping well into the morning.
I'm looking forward to all of it and spending time with all of my family tonight!

Almost There
One more day.
My aunt will be coming in from out of town today. The food gets ordered today. I'm making a pasta salad tomorrow when I'm off work. All in all there is quite a bit left to do but it'll be fine. The Date will look back on it as one of her best days once it is over with, the little stuff will either be a footnote for laughter later on or completely overlooked by the good memories.
The Yankees won number twenty seven last night over the Phillies. I watched it for a while but it seemed to be a blow out after a few innings. It continued to be a blow out as well as the Yanks won 7-3.
Sometimes I wished I actually liked beer. I was on You Tube last night watching old beer commercials that I remembered from when I was young. The Hamm's bear commercial playing baseball was the best! Also came across some very cool motion sign videos. I ran the very common idea of getting a motion beer sign for the bedroom by The Date and she didn't even have to see it before shooting the idea down:( I told her it was a motion sign and had a very cool scrolling scene and still no....
Billy Dee Williams pitching Colt .45 was pretty funny, but not as funny as The Commodores singing for Schlitz!
Yeah sometimes I wished I liked beer but that in no way prohibits my enjoyment of these old commercials or my quest for a motion beer sign:)

Half Way There
Witchy, The Date, and I were cleaning out the little theatre last night to get things prepared as best we could for Friday.
I took off yesterday afternoon to get the counseling done and thankfully the preacher fast tracked us. I was very grateful:) He seemed like a pleasant man, understanding and good.
This will go very smoothly, with all of the support from everyone it's been a very nice experience. I've dreaded the wedding ceremony since I was a child after attending (In my mind forced to attend and be part of an epically long drawn out and boring ceremony) the weddings of relatives.
It wasn't until I was much older that I didn't mind going to weddings. I still prefer a short ceremony though over the epic three hour variety. There is no way I could stand up there for that length of time and pretend to be happy about it. The preacher explained and gave me a rough time estimate of about twenty minutes. I can deal with that.
The guest list appears to be bigger than the room so there might be some people standing during the ceremony as well. It'll be packed for sure. We might have to put some people on stage to make room for everyone.

Criticism Kills
Be thankful you are where you are my American readers. This article takes place in Iran but it might as well have taken place in Venezuela, Cuba, or North Korea.
If you don't click over to it I'll sum it up. A math student dared to ask the Ayatollah Khamenei a question about why no one is allowed to criticize him, how he has shut down all of the media outlets and the ones that remain open are controlled by him. He told the grand leader he is lying to the people.
According to the article the Khamenei evaded the question and told him that he is criticized every day and he listens to the complaints and fixes his errors. Also according to the article the student was later arrested.
Arrested for criticism. Our Founding Fathers knew what a free press was for. It was part of the checks and balances system that keeps the elected leaders honest, or supposed to. Government should never dip a single fingernail into controlling the press. Talk about a slippery slope, that's the fastest way to get to Iran.
I keep up on lots of news sites, watch lots of news, read lots of articles from many sources. I know it has been suggested that the next bailout target should be....wait for it.......newspapers! Whether the administration is liberal, marxist, or conservative the government has to be kept in check by the press. Now these proposals were thought of during the height of the bailout bonanza that went on earlier this year and now the administration is occupied with more important issues such as destroying health care and controlling how the population can live, what they can eat, and how much exercise is acceptable so they can get onto the public option. We just can't have people being too free, they don't know how to handle it.
What newspaper would dare criticize an administration that kept them in business with taxpayer money? How could that newspaper be trusted by the public afterward? How in the world could it be suggested in Congress unless they wanted to be less accountable?

Lot To Do This Week
Yeah a lot! I'm off Friday anyway for obvious reasons but I might have to take off one afternoon as well to get things squared away. The Date is going to find out for sure today what, when, and everything else the court house needs, the preacher needs, and all the loose ends.
People constantly ask where we are registered, we aren't. Between The Date and I, we have blankets, towels, knives, plates, etc. We are good. If you feel that showing up to share the special day and celebration isn't enough (which I feel it is plenty as does The Date) then I'd suggest gift cards from Amazon.com would work very well. They are basically an online Walmart and if we found ourselves out of X then we could promptly obtain it thanks to your generosity:)
Really though, show up, have a great time after the hopefully brief ceremony, and enjoy yourselves!
My fantasy teams, well it appeared to be a down day for all three as my best performing team (fantasy NASCAR) was doing very well and poised to capture my overall lead back with ten laps left! The overall leader was a mere fifty five points away from my grasp and his team was showing badly! Ryan Newman took out one of my drivers and they stopped the race:( I finished with a top ten but the leader's drivers found their way to the front on a chaotic restart. His lead is now one hundred seven points over me with three races left.
I'll catch him though.
