So we arrived in Jacksonville late last night, after five hours of sitting in terminals and aboard planes. The Omni Hotel in Jacksonville is a pretty nice place; no complaints at all yet. The nicest thing about it thus far was a chance encounter between my fiance’ and the King of Comedy, Cedric the Entertainer. [...]
In case you were wondering, the drama with the indecisive family member was settled. We’ve incorporated the person into the ceremony, and found room at the reception, much to our chagrin. Hey, it’s family, what else are you gonna do? Considering that the suddenness of this particular problem drove us batty for a few days, [...]
There’s always going to be drama associated with a wedding. It’s clear from the shows I’ve been introduced to on television, and I’ve seen it in my own experiences. It’s peculiar to me because the entire process involves the people closest to you, so it’s almost heartbreaking when you have trouble coming from various involved [...]
Here’s an email correspondence between myself and fellow wedding blogger Stacy at www.weddingtactics.com, stemming from a comment I left at her spot. The comment precedes the discussion.

Most gents generally ride with cufflinks, watches, beer mugs, money clips, etc. I won’t spill the [...]
1. Don’t let your bride wind up on this show. 2. Consider not marrying her if she’s a good candidate for this show.
They say that a wedding is a bride’s day, but as I get closer and closer to 07/07/07, I find myself more and more excited about my part in the whole scenario. I’m not sure about other grooms, but I know that the greatest joy I have found from this process is seeing the excitement [...]
You know how cartoons sometimes have characters hearing songs when the love of their life walks by? Harps and violins play, bells ring and all types of stuff goes on to convey just how smitten the character is. These days, just call me Mr. Cartoon Network.
