so you're getting married... We're taking care of a lot of last minute pre-wedding pre-honeymoon business, not the least of which is finding a kennel for The Coop Dog while we're away. (We're going to Southern Italy for our honeymoon. Did I mention that before? Well, we are. We decided that it would be Greece-like weather but with more stuff to see.) Finding the kennel is no easy task, as in the past four months, Joe has somehow convinced himself that he is the biological father of this dog, and nothing is good enough for his baby. Seriously. He has become Crazy Dog Man, who can't help lovin' that dog of mine. (Ours.) I'm just waiting for him to suggest that she be the ring-bearer for the wedding, à la Mister Jinx in "Meet the Parents." Witness the conversation that transpired but a week ago, when we were deciding whether or not we should postpone the Big Honeymoon (Italy) due to my lingering gastrointestinal health woes, and instead take another, shorter, smaller honeymoon instead, saving the Big Honeymoon for a subsequent vacation. MICHELLE Because if we're worried that I'm still not going to be 100% for traveling around Italy for two weeks, we can always take a short trip to someplace like Bermuda or something. JOE Well, if we're worried, we should go somewhere close. MICHELLE Bermuda is close, it's like a 2 hour plane ride. And it doesn't have to be that close, like, Hoboken or something. I mean, we could fly to Jamaica, Barbados, the Virgin Islands, you know, like those cheesy honeymoon package-type deals. JOE Or Maine. MICHELLE Maine? JOE We could drive up to Maine and go hiking. And bring the dog! MICHELLE We are not bringing the dog on our honeymoon. JOE Oh yeah. Right. I knew that was wrong as the words were coming out of my mouth. MICHELLE YOU WANT TO MARRY THE DOG. But anyway, no more issues, I'm feeling better, we're going to Italy. Joe's Clever Sister (JCS) tried to April Fool's prank us yesterday by getting her friend to call Joe on his cell phone, pretending to be our florist, telling him that the flowers that we wanted for our reception wouldn't be available. It was a good prank, but we were not that freaked, more confused, because 1.) Our florist is a man, not a lady. 2.) How would the florist have Joe's cell phone number? We only gave them our home phone. 3.) How could cherry blossoms not be in season in mid-April? They're everywhere. Walk into any restaurant, and bam, cherry blossoms in a vase. 4.) Hell, who cares? No cherry blossoms? Use some other flowers then, fool. Good prank, though. So, to sum, honeymoon situation: Good. Dress situation: Good. Guest list situation: Good. Hair and makeup situation: So, so good. (I never had my makeup done before. It will be so glamorous, like Fashion Emergency on E!) Figuring out what to get Joe as a gift situation: Bad. What should I get him? I was going to get him a nice watch, but then fucker had to go out and buy a new watch for himself this winter after his old one broke. What is a good bride-to-groom gift? Help me out with some ideas, won't you? xo Michelle Countdown to the wedding: 25 days |
