I get home from gym this morning and my wife and mother in law. Sitting on the couch sharing tissues watching the royals now their all originally from Scotland . I made coffee headed back porch come on boog the chocolate lab lets head out. Ok man Im with you so now I sit here and wait with the boog for any squirrels chipmunks or rabbits or birds to invade the yard.
And fishing with the boys definitely a no go creeks are to high and muddy. We have had a lot of rain. So I just walked thru the family room to hit the keurig again. Was asked to get another box of Kleenex as they are watching the bride arrive. I think of our wedding 32 years ago. We left in my Datsun 280 z for the honeymoon.

(12,841 posts)My wife has friends stopping later not sure about the gin. But I scored more wine for them yesterday. I kind feel bad for the one young lady a month away from her wedding and she found out her fiancé. Will be deploying back to Afghanistan in winter. What away to start a marriage 17 years War needs to stop.
We need to stop this perpetual war crap I agree. So sorry for your wife's friends.
My own wedding was so small I hand wrote my own invitations to my immediate family which was small anyway. My dad had passed away so I walked down the aisle by myself. We ate dinner at a nice country club restaurant afterwards. And we spent our wedding night in Pittsburgh! I did not have the big white dress since I got married at age 30 and felt that it just wasn't me. It was a nice day and just perfect for me, the one who hates being in the spotlight.
32 years next Thursday .......
Were actually 32 June 7 D DAY+1

(463 posts)But his explanation of fire went to weird places that amused me greatly. I adore hyperbole in the right setting. But you could see the audience go, "Where exactly is he going?" Doesn't matter. It was still great.
