prewife dot com. You proposed. She said yes…|NOW WHAT?

Ok, I love cameras. I love photography. Now I love my family even more! They all pitched in and got me a wedding gift.

I could not be happier with the choice! the Canon G10

Now, I lurk on a few other forums out there and I know that many people want to see the beast in action. So I will post pictures shortly.

Ok here are some

Yes! Another Mario wedding cake and this one does not disappoint.
So, after days/weeks/months of pursuing various themes on how the Frack to have present and serve a wedding cake, I forced the prewife to vote on the issue. Since there were only two of us I enlisted the neighbor’s dog for the tie breaker vote. Predictably, the vote split down party lines with the Dog abstaining because, well, he can’t read or understand English. This forced a runoff vote in which we compromised and chose cupcakes.

Seriously though, this confectionery creation by Jeanne Ray is so amazing (especially since she had no classical confectionery training before she dumped her day job and got into it) that it deserves props from this site!

She made a order for his birthday cake 2 weeks ago and I have been brainstorming since. *So much PressuRE!* *laughs*
It always starts off with a sketch; which I was pretty happy with … and began working on it 3 days ago. It does take many hours to painfully sculpt every little detail but the outcome usually is rewarding when more effort is put in. I really wanted Jon to be surprised and Amanda to be happy with paying for what I was worth. *sigh*..stress..haha; I’m Happy with it, I think it’s quite cool…but that’s just me!

Proposals come in all shapes and sizes. It can be as simple as whipping the ring out during the commercial of March Madness (she did come all the way down to the bar with you after all), to something a bit more elaborate, say proposing on Google Street Viewer.

Any way you do it, there is one important thing to remember: make sure she will say yes. Just because you have it in your head that YOU want to be with her forever, doesn;t mean those feelings translate to her. And because we men are such great communicators, sometimes women misinterpret our intentions as either being sick or clingy.

The best thing to do is when you pass by a jewelry store, slow down and linger in the front of it (but don’t stop) and see what she does. If she goes for a look at the necklaces and earrings, then hhhmmmm, come back in one week (after giving her flowers, rubbing her feet…you know BRIBING her into marrying your sorry ass). However, if she lingers a the rock encrusted rings that happen to go on the left hand, well then you know that she not only has marriage on the brain, but that chances are good that it is about a marriage to you.

The rest is simple. Wait till your 100 Bazillion dollar company rolls it fleets of photo-cars out in front of your business and tell the world that you are ready!

Today’s great cake is an internet confection complete with laptops and an Ethernet cable. Personally i would have gone for the Internet Cloud, but hey, I am all for going Lo-fi sometimes. I wonder if that is chocolate cake with vanilla frosting or white cake with coconut….

Your chances really are better meeting someone online then meeting someone at the bar. Well,let me rephrase that. Your chances of a meaningful, long lasting, relationship is better online then at the bar. Now, if you are just after messy drunken hot random sex, just remember last call is 1:45am.

So the question of the day is: do you invite kids to the wedding or not. Mind you, I don’t mean babies, which should not be invited at all (besides they can’t read the save the date card) and yes I realize that means that the mom’s probably can;t come either and that also means the husband’s of said wives would probably be brow-beaten if they came home tanked after a fun filled wedding. We all know what happens at weddings… mmm hmmm…

Cnn posted a story yesterday about how kids actually add value to a wedding. So I am on the fence about this one. So I put it to you, gentle reader. Sound off about whether you think having rug rats children attend a destination wedding that IS NOT Disney is a good idea or sheer Folly.
