Wedding Wednesday on Tuesday

Well, here was my plan: I was going to write today about my cool shower gift from Esther and Emily and then do a bunch of Wedding-themed stuff tomorrow on Wedding Wednesday. But that didn't work out. The disc that I brought in with the gift photos is all screwed up and hence, no pictures today.

So, I am going to push that off to tomorrow. And move Wedding Wednesday up a day.

This Saturday will be seven weeks away from the big day. We're in the final stretch. We have RSVPs coming back. And we're trying to hit all of the little details. There's just a lot to think about. Weekends are fun because I usually get to cross off several things from my To Do Lists. I've been working on Groomsmen gifts, a present for My Intended, the reception music on our iPod and the ceremony program design. I really like that The Intended and I are both so involved in all the details. Creating this whole day ourselves will make it more special.

On top of all the little details, I now have a new concern: That I will be so drunk at my ceremony that my brother will have to take my place. Hey, it happens.

And now for some marriage levity. Here is one of those e-mail forwards about the things kids say:

HOW DO YOU DECIDE WHO TO MARRY?
You got to find somebody who likes the same stuff. Like, if you like sports, she should like it that you like sports, and she should keep the chips and dip coming. -- Alan , age 10

No person really decides before they grow up who they're going to marry. God decides it all way before, and you get to find out later who you're stuck with. -- Kristen , age 10

WHAT IS THE RIGHT AGE TO GET MARRIED?
Twenty-three is the best age because you know the person forever by then. -- Camille , age 10

HOW CAN A STRANGER TELL IF TWO PEOPLE ARE MARRIED?
You might have to guess, based on whether they seem to be yelling at the same kids. -- Derrick , age 8

WHAT DO MOST PEOPLE DO ON A DATE?
Dates are for having fun, and people should use them to get to know each other. Even boys have something to say if you listen long enough. -- Lynnette, age 8

On the first date, they just tell each other lies and that usually gets them interested enough to go for a second date. -- Martin, age 10

WHAT WOULD YOU DO ON A FIRST DATE THAT WAS TURNING SOUR?
I'd run home and play dead. The next day I would call all the newspapers and make sure they wrote about me in all the dead columns. -- Craig , age 9

WHEN IS IT OKAY TO KISS SOMEONE?
When they' re rich. -- Pam , age 7

The law says you have to be eighteen, so I wouldn't want to mess with that. - - Curt, age 7

The rule goes like this: If you kiss someone, then you should marry them and have kids with them. It's the right thing to do. -- Howard , age 8

IS IT BETTER TO BE SINGLE OR MARRIED?
It's better for girls to be single but not for boys. Boys need someone to clean up after them. -- Anita , age 9

HOW WOULD THE WORLD BE DIFFERENT IF PEOPLE DIDN'T GET MARRIED?
There sure would be a lot of kids to explain, wouldn't there? -- Kelvin, age 8
