Disco Inferno 2

I don't know why, but whenever I would try to add comments to the video post below, the video link would get messed up. So, I'll tell you here that video makes me laugh so hard I want to pee my pants! You have to check that site out and play with it. I just don't know why I have a floating head?!?!?

Okay, so I was trying to find a quiz that tells you which Friends character you are. Now, I didn't really like this quiz as it was totally obvious which answer was related to which character. So when I tried to do Phoebe on purpose....

This is the picture....

Uhm...
I guess I'm more like Phoebe than I realized?
Anyone else see the resemblance????? (ignore the ginormous head)

Scary.

But, I do kinda like the description:
"you're phoebe...completely off the wall and scatter brained, but your friends know you'll always be faithful to them, no matter what."

I don't think I'm scattered brained and I probably wish I could be more off the wall than I am. But I hope my Friends would agree with the faithfulness.

"P - as in Phoebe
H - as in Hee-Bee
O - as in O-Bee
E - as in E-Bee
B - as in Bee-Bee
E - as in 'Ello there mate!"

"They don't KNOW that we know they know we know!"

(Oh, I'm dieing laughing. hee hee)

"The messers, become...the MESS-EES!!!"

(A ha ha ha, {snort} ha ha ha)

Signing the Marriage Certificate

Thirteen years ago I travelled with my parents to Canada for Joy and Geoff's wedding. This was my first time attending a wedding in Canada. It was held outside along the water and was just beautiful. One thing that took place during the ceremony was the bride and groom sat down at a table and signed their marriage certificate. This was new to me and I was intrigued.

My parents and I referenced it often and think I always had in the back of my mind the idea of doing that when I got married. I was shocked to notice how insignificant this process was in the weddings I was in. In one wedding it was signed the night of the rehearsal after we were done rehearsing. In another wedding it was signed on the back of the best man in the parking lot as we walked across it to take pictures. And because this piece of paper is what actually makes the marriage legal, I just felt that is should have greater significance during the wedding ceremony.

When it came time to plan my wedding with Jim, I shared the idea with him and he liked it. We used a beautiful table linen that had belonged to my grandma and placed the toss-bouquet on the table. The funny thing was, things are a little different here in America. We had to sign the marriage license when we bought it at the courthouse. The only signatures it needed were the witnesses and the pastor. So we decided to also have a "momento" marriage certificate to sign. Long-story-short, things didn't quite work out the way I planned and Jim and I didn't end up signing anything during the ceremony. But it was still a lovely part of the ceremony and I'm glad we included it.


Being at Darcy and Holly's wedding we got to see this happen again. I think I will make it my crusade to get American's to make this a normal tradition. And if that doesn't work, maybe I'll just move to Canada.

Oh, Canada!

Jim and I have returned from our relatively quick trip to Canada. My cousin Holly was married on Saturday and we were so excited to be able to be there for the event. Jim had met Holly very briefly the day after he proposed to me four years ago while she had a layover at LAX on her way home from (I think) Taiwan. On this trip he got to meet her twin sister Joy and their mother (my aunt) Sharon.

Thursday was a long travel day starting at 4am. UGH! We took a car to the airport – the plane to Seattle – a rental car to the ferry – the ferry from Vancouver to Victoria (ish) – and the car to the house. We finally arrived at the rehearsal dinner just after 6pm. It was nice to meet Holly’s fiancé, Darcy, and the extended friends and family.

Friday we had a little family hike down to the beach. Then Jim and I went to Butchart Gardens which is simply beautiful. Great photo opportunities, but for some reason I was having little patience with my camera – maybe it had something to do with the blazing heat/humidity and lack of water.


Then we went to Joy and Geoff’s house where the twins were working on the wedding cake and other preparations. I helped a little with the frosting of cake and watched how to do the lattice work that looks so pretty on the outside of cakes. Here is the bride herself decorating the cake.


I also fell in love with Joy and Geoff’s two kids, Liam (6) and Nichole (4). They are beautiful children and a joy to be around. That little Nichole just charmed the pants off of me.

I decided I wanted to take home the following from Joy and Geoff’s: Their two kids. The two Siamese / Burmese cats Riley and Rio (sorry no pics of these beauties). And their two Adirondack chairs – Moooey comfie!!

Saturday was the big wedding day. It was a perfect day for a beach wedding and I think everything went well. The guests were heavily populated with big-deal cameras – it was quite amusing. I’m sure there will be bazillions of fantastic shots.



Sunday was just family time. We went to downtown Victoria where there was a Dragon Boat Race festival. What a hoot this was to see.

Jim, my mom and I took a tour of the Parliament building.



After dinner we all looked at wedding photos that we had taken.

Monday was another big travel day starting at 7am and ending at 10pm. But Jim and I were ahead of schedule all day so we took some detours and just enjoyed our time.

I may spend a couple of post in more detail on other stuff. But you can see tons of more pictures on my Flickr sight. Just click on the slideshow on this page and it will take you right to it.
