Well, I was bored today, so I decided to search Google to see what types of websites have the name lukeandlaura on them.

First, is this ice dancing couple. They're not us.
(Keep the dream alive, Luke and Laura. If Jamaican bobsledders can make it to the Olympics, so can Mexican ice dancers.)

Then, there's this girl and her cat. They're also not us.
(At first I thought Luke was that cat, but it turns out Luke is this guy.)

The rest of them refer to Luke and Laura from General Hospital: here, here and here.
(That last one is the best. Hurray for midi happiness.)

I found these two on Yahoo. Definitely not us.

Just for fun, I looked for our names. I came up with this little kid, the Singing Zoologist, and this chicky-poo.

None of these are us.

This is us!



Hurray for us! (I was going to post a more embarrassing picture of Stink Pants #5, but he wouldn't let me.)

This past Sunday, Mom and I went to a wedding show that's put on by the local bridal shop. It was at the Knights of Columbus Hall, so it's not like it was anything fancy. There were about 12-15 vendors there. A couple of caterers, some DJ's, florists, photographers, a dress store, a wedding chapel promoter and Curves (that weight loss place.) There wasn't anything too interesting. It's too soon to get a DJ (only a couple of them know what J-pop is anyway), we're required to use the in-house caterer for our location, Mom wants to get the flowers from a certain place because she knows the owners, and I know who I want to get as our photographer.

Then they dimmed the lights for the fashion show. I thought most of the dresses were ugly. The bridesmaids' dresses were all biased cut, which I don't really like because it looks lop-sided to me. There were a couple "mother's" dresses. The ones I remember were beige and mauve (boring...). Even the bridal gowns looked like glorified prom dresses. They were all shiny and either silver or "electric white", with biased designs on the front, and no discernable waist that I could tell. They flared out at the bottom all right, but it was like it was one fluid motion from the top of the dress to the bottom. Kind of like a morning glory turned upside-down I guess. Either way, I wasn't too impressed with them.

Except for one. When the model in this gown stepped on stage, there was a hush, then a murmur through the crowd as the brides-to-be and their mothers stared at this dress. It was almost like she was surrounded by a halo. It was a traditional wedding dress, a princess dress, gorgeous, fitted at the top and flared out at the waist. The bottom was edged with lace that just touched the surface of the runway. It was obvious that this was everyone's favorite.

Man, I can't wait to start trying on dresses! I can't start just yet though. If I do, I might end up buying five dresses just because they're pretty and on sale.

When you described that last dress, "and a murmur came over the crowd"... all I could picture was Gwen Perz in the front row--hand raised to mouth--in utter awe, quivering and gasping.."It's SO BEAUTIFUL."

Like she was there!
I am so full of shit.
Oh yes, for real, you and Patlick, and Noona have potential wedding slave duties if you're willing to come to Grand Rapids. That's the catch.

So here it is. There's nothing on it, of course, but that will change a lot in the next twenty months. I want to get Luke to post some stuff too, but he'll probably just be content to let me do all the work, since that's what he's good at (lazy ass.)

First of all, here's some new information for everyone.

Our Wedding Date: August 26, 2006!

We spent some time during the holidays figuring this one out, so mark it on your calenders.

We decided to have plated dinners at our reception. My parents once went to a wedding with a buffet, and because they were seated on the wrong side of the room they didn't get to eat. NOT AT MY WEDDING! Everyone gets to eat! So there!

That was one of the main reasons for picking the place we picked. The other reason is because it's within a block or two of the three main hotels in the area, so people can get sloppy drunk without worrying about having a safety friend to drive them home. We'll have drunk shennanigans at our wedding! (I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing, but it'll definitely be interesting.)

I'll post some picture of the places that we looked at. Special thanks to Noona (my maid of honor) and her boyfriend for coming with us on our reception hall journey.

I'm just seeing if this works properly to provide additional data for Andy, and wishing you well at the same time. Well!

We're just serving vienna sausages and MGD at our reception. It just fits.

What? You didn't have to sign up for an account. You should've been able to post anonymously andy, and leave a note at the bottom who you are, like this...
