Planning A Wedding

I recently got engaged over the Holidays and have been trying to plan a wedding over the last month or so. I have had a lo of good wedding ideas but my fiance has not been thrilled with some of them. Here is a list of some of the ones that did not make the cut.

-Having a virtual wedding online where everyone creates a computer character and has them watch as the bride and groom get married.

-A Batman themed wedding

-A kayak wedding where everyone is on individual kayaks for the ceremony

-Having a wedding pie instead of cake

-Having a moustache themed wedding

-Having my brother Darrell be a walking guestbook, wearing a white t-shirt and holding a magic marker

-Trying to get companies to pay me to advertise their products at the wedding, like Star Jones had done (my mom watches the View a lot so I am kept informed of these things).

My fiance Jaclyn has been doing a great job of trying to get everything else planned out for our special day. We went to a wedding expo this weekend to try to get some ideas. It was a little awkward being the only guy in the building, but there were a lot of free food samples so I didn't mind too much. I feel like taking pictures is the easiest thing to do and does not require a professional. Most of the photographers want 250-300 dollars an hour as well, making me regret not becoming a photographer. Everything else seems pretty expensive as well. Some people were advertising that they sell wedding cakes for under 225 dollars, as if they are cutting you a break. I am not even a big fan of cake. I would ideally like to have a carvel ice cream cake instead (the one with the chocolate crunchies in it.) Those things cost 11 dollars at ingles. Unfortunately I lost some of my decision making powers due to silly proposals for the wedding (see above).

4 Q's with Anneka M. Parks

Sorry I have not blogged for a while. Now that I have a chance to relax at home with my family for a couple of weeks, I should be able to put up a few blogs. I recently talked to Anneka Parks about 4 very important questions. She is a 14th quarter intern at Sherman College right now (that means she is almost done with school) and is known for her delusions that the Chicago Bears are a good football team. She is one of the funniest people in school and would always let me go ahead of her on the walk in list when I was struggling with finding patients.

1) Is it true you and your boyfriend are going to eliminate all subluxations in Indiana's Amish communities?

Well Greg dear..... he is now my fiance as of November and unfortantly at this time the amish community will have to wait for our expertise.  We were both offered great jobs in Columbia, South Carolina so it looks like our expertise and wittiness will be available for the greater Columbia area at this time.

2) Are you doing anything exciting for Christmas this year? What kind of cookies can we expect to see at your house?

I am going to be heading out to Indiana to see my family for christmas this year.  (i love snow!!)  We will be making the traditional santa clause cookie at our house ( the recipe is a secret ... so don't even ask).  We will also be making animal cookies for the doggies and horsies also. (they love chirstmas too ya know)

3) Name me the top thing about Sherman College.

3. We are the only ones who know how to adjust for part 4

4) If you were going to receive a superlative when you graduate from Sherman College, what would it be? I would give you either best laugh or most likely to make up that Chicago athletes go to your church.

That is a great one.............. I would probably say that gale sayers is my pew mate at church ( i am serious i saw him) I also dream of being the chiropractor for the chicago bears one day!! GO BEARS

Anneka asked me to let her put up a few enjoyable pictures for the holidays for everyone to enjoy. I think they are going to be of dogs dressed up as people.... Yep, they are. Enjoy.
