All of our family and friends are starting to roll into town. Which can mean only one thing: It’s really happening. All of the planning and organizing is actually becoming reality now and Jackie and I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. As excited as we are to get married, it’ll be nice to not have to plan a wedding anymore. We are really getting psyched about seeing all of our closest family and friends and hope that you all have a great time.

So our wedding is one week from today and everything is falling into place. And believe me, I’m very happy and excited about it, but this whole event has got me thinking. The wedding industry is just a big sham. DJ’s, Florists, Caterers, Wedding planners and the like are all ridiculously priced but “necessary” to have a wedding. Granted you need some sort of entertainment, decorations, food and organization for a wedding to be fun, but the outrageous prices that come about as soon as you say the word “wedding” are completely baffling.

As you can imagine, with less than 2 weeks before the wedding, we are running around like crazy to get everything ready for the “big day”. We got our marriage license last week, Jackie has been putting together a bunch of decorations, we’re meeting with the DJ, talking with Ben at A&J for all the stuff we’re renting, and oh so much more. It looks like things are coming together finally and I hope everyone has a blast. I know we both will be ecstatic when the wedding finally comes because then we can sit back and relax and do absolutely nothing for the first time in what seems like an eternity. We both feel like we’ve been running around ragged since July and can’t wait to relax.
Don’t get me wrong, we couldn’t be happier to be getting married. We’ve waited a long time for this and are excited about our wedding, but with all the planning that goes into these things, it’ll be a relief when things are over. If Jackie wasn’t such an amazing planner and organizer and creative person, I don’t know what we would do because she is doing such an amazing job with planning our wedding.
I can’t wait to see all of you next week. Are you getting excited? I know I am.

Does anybody have any funny stories to take our minds off of the gloom joy of end of single life forever?
BTW.. I love you honey!

Jackie and I are going to go shopping for wedding bands this weekend. This should be interesting seeing as I’ve never worn a ring in my life. I also tend to get a little freaked out when I try them on and they’re so snug that they don’t want to easily come off. Do you guys have any suggestions on where to go shopping (remember, we’re in Chico) for wedding bands? Any tips on buying them? Can you buy a 6-pack of them just in case you tend to lose things?

We’re making a lot of progress with our wedding plans. Sheesh, whoever needs a year to plan a wedding is a wimp.
I met with the DJ company yesterday and I’m pretty happy with how things went. I just need to go through their mini-list of songs and pick out ones we want to play. The only thing I’m having a hard time with is our first dance song. I picked three for Jackie to pick from and she shot me down on all accounts. So now its up to her to pick some songs and I’ll pick my favorite.

Went to bed at 9:30pm last night… Sooo tired.
Hey fools, what was your favorite part of this weekend? Mine was just the fact that some of y’all came from across the country to kick it. That, and the beer. And more beer. And did I mention the beer? Oh yeah, and the beer.

Alright, so the wedding is 2 months away and now that we’ve finally moved to Chico we are getting in full-on wedding mode. We need to finalize the invitations and a DJ. Find and buy wedding rings. Finish getting decorations. Figure out what I’m going to wear (unless you want me to show up in my speedo’s). Jackie still needs to get her dress (see speedo comment). ( Read more )
