Confetti
November 17, 2004

We are getting married. I thought I would just come out and say it, since I think everyone we know knows.

I didn't want to write it here in case family and friends dropped by this site and read it here before we told them. Not that they would, but I didn't want to severely traumatize someone to the point of suicide.

Our tale is a long one, we've been together for over eight years. Longer than most of our friends have been together with their significant others. So needless to say, Jen has been very patient. Maybe too patient. In fact, she should really have disposed of my ass a long time ago. At least 2 or 3 years ago when times were tough. But she didn't because she's loving, supportive and stuff.

She's watched many friends get married and she still didn't really put the screws to me and hassle me, like I've heard other ladies do.

When I made my return, I didn't mention it and as you will see, I crossed some stuff off because I'm a fucking idiot. You're probably saying to yourself, "There's no way that he can be a fucking idiot", but yes it's true, I am. I said "A time without interest or inspiration, but changes", which wasn't the right or even nice thing to say as we had been engaged for a bit at that point. Anyway, you've got to learn from your mistakes and that's just what I intend to do.

We're getting married in the Caribbean, likely the Dominican, but we were tossing around Cuba. I'm going to be wearing my fluorescent green thong Speedo. It's a real crowd pleaser.

I already said it before, but congratulations! Still haven't decided where you'll have it? I heard Haiti's really nice in the spring.

I've already said congrats to the happy couple but now I'm curious, what's a "banana hammock"?

As an aside, I will be wearing a fluorescent pink speedo with black vertical stripes to the affair.

Well then, dear BMan - you will be wearing a "banana hammock" as well... : )

Looking forward to the wedding pictures...
