Couldn't have said it better

This pretty much sums up my relationships. *past & present*

From A Practical Wedding

Dance lessons

I've been brushing up on my dancing skills for the wedding.

Getting married before/after getting married

I just think it's so amusing that our wedding ceremony will have no legal merit whatsoever. I know a lot of people do it this way, but I never envisioned it for myself. Chris says, "We can wait until after the ceremony to get legally married." Uh huh, sounds like a good way for him to high-tail it outta here! ;o)

So wait. When would our anniversary be? The day we were legal or the day of the ceremony?? Can we have TWO anniversaries?! Sweet.

For some reason I'm excited about being married before the ceremony. But at the same time, will it take the magic of the ceremony away?

Do we do it sooner rather than later? Does it make a difference?

Hmmm...

This is kinda crazy and I love the first sentence of this post.

I'm...famous?

So if you go to a particular website and enter in a particular nucleotide sequence, this might pop up *hint: look under authors*:

Don't hate.

Ya know what?

I reserved our hotel reservations in Gatlinburg, TN today!

At a hotel 3 months old
In a room with a whirlpool AND fireplace

For cheaper *CHEAPER* than our room in Candler on our wedding night.

Crazy.

So yeah, originally we weren't going to go anywhere on our pre-honeymoon, but we figured we have the days off, we might as well do something.

That something turned out to be Dixie Stampede & Dollywood. Um, yeah. I'm crossing my fingers that I get to meet Dolly. Not joking.
