In Reply to: Things I learned this weekend at my wedding... posted by Matt on June 30, 2002 at 22:30:53:
: many other things, but it's time to go to bed. gotta get up at the crack of dawn in the morning. : and before I forget to say the most important part of the whole deal... : Justin, Kaleb, Dave, Jeff, Tim W, DanNY, Craig B, Jason, Shing, Deanne, Aaron, and anyone I missed.. : Even more special thanks Justin and Kaleb, that took time out of their busy lives to help me make the last few days the most memorable of my life. I'm so glad that I asked you guys to be groomsmen, and don't think of anyone else I would have picked to do the jobs I asked you to do. : Dave, you're definitely included in the thanks, too. Even though you weren't an "official" member of the wedding party, you helped out tremendously, and I appreciate all the time you devoted to helping Kelly and I put this 3-ring circus together! (or was that one BIG ring?) : Again, thanks to everyone for their gifts, time, and support. Kelly and I are endebted to you all.
: 1. Justin, Kaleb, Aaron, and Dave don't like to get up in the mornings.
: 2. Justin, Kaleb, Aaron, and Dave don't like to be anywhere on time.
: 3. I get stressed out too easily when I'm late.
: 4. Justin, Kaleb, Aaron, and Dave bailed my ass out by busting their butts this weekend to get everything done and ready in enough time that Kelly and I both got to take a short nap before the wedding (otherwise we both would have fallen over dead the second we walked down the aisle)
: 5. don't leave the t-shirt you got at the bachelor party on your bed.
: 6. don't put four alarm clocks by your bed the next morning and expect to figure out how to turn them all off when you're still so drunk you can't tell which one is making noise! (I finally just unplugged them all!)
: 7. don't have an outside wedding in Oklahoma in June!
: 8. Be sure to give the sound guy the CD with the wedding music AT LEAST the night before.... otherwise the bride gets to walk down the aisle to Crystal Gayle instead of "here comes the bride". (story to come at work when I have time to type)
: 9. don't put a 20" crystal vase with 40lb of flowers on a table in high winds. (read: don't have an outside wedding in Oklahoma in June)
: 10. When the bride says "smear cake on my face and I will kill you" doesn't mean "I never said I wouldn't smear it on YOUR face!"
: 11. Arm alarm on car and park in plain sight, so that they can't completely COVER the car in gummy bears and shaving cream and shoe polish. (although power-washing the melted gummy bears and seeing them slowly peel of the hood the FLING onto the wall at the car wash was pretty fun. :)
: 12. Don't roll down the window to talk to the photographer when people are throwing birdseed at you.
: 13. ALWAYS bring a hanky. if she doesn't need it while crying at the wedding, you'll need it to clean up when the guys stick vaseline under your door handles!
: 14. take more than a one-night honey moon. it was too short, but we'll get a "real" one later this summer.
: THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!
: A HUGE word of thanks to everyone who contributed to the gifts! They were MUCH appreciated, and your acts of generousity will never be forgotten. (Bill, when that car falls apart, you can get the warranty work done at my house now instead of listening to my dad and stepmom whine about the carpet!)
