A Formal Invitation
There’s not much I regret in almost a decade of marriage except that ONE thing. I chalk it up to being young and stubborn– but I’d like to remarry my wife with a big formal bruhaha some day. I remember feeling rushed back then (age 20) and not liking my father in law dictating to me who I could invite or where things would be held. Anyways, for the public record, I regret not doing something formal. We were a pretty darn poor young couple then and I was reluctant to have anyone pay for anything for us. Now looking back, I guess that’s what the father of the bride is supposed to do, and my wife’s dad meant well, he just comes off, well.. abrasive. 
Perhaps my wife and I can get re-married in Hawaii? I think that sounds ideal. Well, that is if she’d remarry my ass with all that she knows now.

The real question is this: Is your dog’s name actually “Ass”?

My wife and I neither one wanted a big wedding. Our “ceremony” (if you can call i that) lasted a minute and forty seconds. I don’t think the thought has even crossed our mind that we would have wanted something else.
You can see my post about it here: http://www.brentnorris.net/blog/?p=205
There is a video there that shows the whole “ceremony”.

It does not matter if you are happy with the wedding (most people aren’t); wha does matter is whether or not you are happy with the marriage.

I recently went to the best wedding I have ever been to! It was in an outdoor pavilion/church, but the dress code wasas the invite said, “Casual”. This aperantly went as far as the wedding party as well. The groom, his son/ring-bearer, and best man were all in wife-beater tees, white dress shirts that were unbuttoned, shorts, and flip-flops. I told him at the reception that I was upset I left my boots 200miles away back at home and almost went to get new shoes so I wouldn’t have to whear sandles to the wedding. He said he would have had t kick my ass for it.
*Starts to wonder what his wedding will be like*
l8er y’all!

Brouhaha? A gala would be more appropriate.
I love the sly humor of the target on Drew’s shirt.

Dangit DJ, you’ve got me thinking about your personal life but I suddenly had the brainflash that she might enjoy it if you threw her a surprise vow renewal ceremony for some anniversary or another. Like, with a real ceremony and everything. Tell her you’re going out for dinner and give her a white dress and say that’s her present and then spring the ceremony on her once you’re at the location. And why am I putting this much thought into your marriage?

Well, my wife and I have been together for almost a decade now– Boy do I love her! I know the feeling is mutual.
A surprise re-marriage would be pretty neat, but hard to pull off because I cant hide anything from my wife– not that I haven’t TRIED in th past, but she can always tell when I’m up to something. It’s like a wife’s superpower! hahahha…
Hey honey, here’s this uh…white dress.. and a plane ticket to Hawaii… uh… LOOK OVER THERE! A BIRD!

Does Drew actually have a dog? I haven’t seen one since I started reading Yirmumah, and I think it would have had some opinion about Retardakitty. The doghouse seems to be only for Drew, when he’s too bad to even be allowed on the couch.

My wife and I got married on the beach in Cape May. Highly recommended. And while we had a nice reception at the Twinings Tea Room, we didn’t spend a fortune like my sister. Our wedding + honeymoon ran 5K (including gown and tux, reception, and a three day honeymoon- I was unemployed and going back to school at the time). In contrast, my sister’s big wedding ran 40K, and her brother’s wedding may have been more.

OK, have you guys heard about Uwe Boll??
He’s challenging everyone who mocked his movies to a boxing mach. He’ll pick the five most outspoken and box them in his movie. But you had to be critical of his movies back in 2005 and only weigh between 130 and 190.
If he upped the limit I’d go kick his ass, Im friggin’ huge!!
He has a press release detailing the rules and such.

Dude, you should have it here in Hawai’i.
And you better let me know if you do!
FYI: in Hawai’i, locals NEVER call that certain type of footwear “flip flops”; it’s called “slippers” (slippahs, if you really local). If in case you all were wondering.

im starting to think it would be a wise idea to kit out the dog house with some luxuries, or atleast some good quality porn

Hey, save up and do it.
I divorced my first after four years, and thank all that is good that she gave me a second chance a year later. We just got re-married last year, after being together for 12. I gave her the big wedding, on the beach, honeymoon cruise, all of it. She was so worth it, and it took me too damn long to save up for it, you know?
Anyhow, if it takes a few more years then take the time and do it right.
