Well, I’m home…..home sucks. I have no friends here, that sux. Mom and Dad like to tell me things about the wedding, and sometimes they annoy me about it. Also, I’m tired of getting dumped on about wedding stuff in general. It isn’t like I don’t want to do things for this wedding. In fact, if someone wanted me to do something right now I would. Heck, I could pick out my own tuxes if that was OK, I could do a lot of stuff. And I know that it wouldn’t be good enough if I did do it, so I don’t know why the same isn’t true. Aren’t I allowed to be not happy with some of the work done by the other party. I don’t have to like everything, and I’m allowed to want a full dinner at my wedding if I want feel like that is important. Also, shouldn’t you give somebody something good at the reception if they drive or fly all that way to come to your party. I’m sorry, I don’t have an excuse to throw a party this big and extravagant very often, so I just figure it should be pretty darned big and cool. That means I want dancing, drinking, eating good food, and having a good time. I hate things being too formal or too stuffy, so we want to have Chicago style pizza at the wedding. This wasn’t my idea, but I thought it was a great idea, so that is what we plan to do. But because of this we can’t find a reception hall…that and I think it is ridiculous to have some people cater dry chicken and bloody roast beef if it is going to cost 11$ at least per person….for that much I would rather rent out a big part of cheddars and give everyone burgers. But I hate the idea of cake and punch receptions, I think that is sorta lame, and a boring way to celebrate something this big. What a party…I mean they have cake and punch after graduations for 8th grade, but when somebody gets married that is a bigger event then 8th grade graduation.
Also, I haven’t been sleeping a lot. I don’t know why, but I wake up and have a hard time sleeping again. I usually fall right back asleep, but I haven’t been able to. Also, my house is cold….Mom has the temp set to like 69 degrees….at my house I have it set to 72 usually and I think that is cold, so I’m freezing here. I’m looking forward to lighter weather and In ‘n’ Out Burger later this week in the OC (Orange County for those of you who aren’t hip with the TV shows these days).
So, let me sum this up. A wedding is a celebration…shouldn’t you have a big party, and isn’t it important that you throw a party you are both happy with. Also, shouldn’t you want to take care of your friends and relatives who came all that way to celebrate with you. Finally, I love In ‘n’ Out, it is the best fast food anywhere….I mean where else can you get really full for under 5 dollars.
Thank you, and Goodnight.

Well, you can at least count on myself and Seth bringing the party. And by party, I mean fun. And by fun, I mean beer. And by beer, I mean lots.

Um. Drinking is a whole other subject, but other then that I think your reception sounds great!
It’s really great to hear from you. I was wondering how life was for you.
HUGS from your sis.

I totally agree. Throw a party, have pizza. Celebrate. You only get married once, so make sure it’s everything you (and of course your bride-to-be) want. (And i like dancing) (oh yea, and pizza!)
Enjoy California. The nice weather and sunshine and stuff. Take care of things.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Poop. I posted twice. Here’s what happened. I’m on this stupid dial-up connection, so it took forever when I clicked post and then it came back with an internal server error. So, I went back to the page and refreshed and my comment wasn’t there, so I tried again, but this time when I looked, it was there plus the one from the first try. Grrr.
Sorry about that!!!

Umm, if you’re willing to go the whole way on the alcohol front…
I heard that someone rented out Boltini’s for a Company Christmas party. I don’t know how feasible something like that would be. But you could go the free food/dry bar and charge on alcohol if you wanted to…limit consumption.
Just a thought. Course, there’s a few relatives who would probably have seizures when they realized a family member was throwing a reception in a bar. Oh well.
Yeah, I shoulda come to visit on Tuesday. Give you a couple hours away. I was only an hour travel time, according to Aaron.
P.S. I have your pocket knife. Bwah ha ha.

You may have no friends there.. but that’s why gameboy was invented.

I fixed it.
No worries, every once in a while it doubles comments up for one reason or another. When I read them I delete the extra one to make it even out, so you don’t have to post an apology…even though I appreciate it. Also, I hear you on the dial-up…the only good thing I got going is that my laptop has a modem so I can use that instead of the family computer so I don’t have to worry about all their crap.
