When last we heard from me on this venue, the wedding plans were still "coming along nicely". Well, that was 6 months, and one wedding ceremony ago. Yes, I am now of the genus Husbandus Ballandchainus.

Much of my example of married life came from my grand-parents. As of this coming August they'll have been married 65 years, so I think they're qualified to advise on how to be properly married. And one of my grand-father's most used adages is "happy wife, happy life:. To that end, and in complete honesty, I have to say that I probably wouldn't be writing here tonight, except that my wife seems to want me to blog more. I'm not sure why, but then again, it doesn't really matter does it? Happy wife, happy life (keep saying it, it becomes a pretty good mantra).

So I will try to blog more. I suppose anything more than twice per year would be an improvement though, wouldn't it? ]]> 430@http://fluffontheinternet.com/pivot/ Groomzilla, On..., Random Musings Sun, 30 May 2010 21:19:00 -0700 http://fluffontheinternet.com/pivot/entry.php?id=429 http://fluffontheinternet.com/pivot/entry.php?id=429#comm
The wedding plans are coming along nicely. DJ booked, reception venue booked, invites chosen... just a couple othere major points and then it's down to the gajillion little things and details.

My grandfather's place is just about done, and it's already been listed with an agent. All that's left is to do some cleaning, and a little bit of tidying.

And to top it all off, we're putting an offer on a new house tomorrow morning. It's decided step up from where we are now, and there will be room for everyone without us stepping on one anothers toes all the time. Space.... sweet space. Ddon't get me wrong, I love my family, but sometimes I just want to be alone. And I know they sometimes feel that way too... ]]> 429@http://fluffontheinternet.com/pivot/ Chillin, Groomzilla, News of the World, Random Musings Sun, 22 Nov 2009 20:42:00 -0700 http://fluffontheinternet.com/pivot/entry.php?id=428 http://fluffontheinternet.com/pivot/entry.php?id=428#comm "But I don't like seafood...."

In other news, went to see 'Couples Retreat' tonight with my fiancee. We both laughed, a lot. Is it "cinema"? No, most certainly not. But it was good entertainment. If you can appreciate it for what it is, you'll probably like it. ]]> 428@http://fluffontheinternet.com/pivot/ Dining Out, Funnies, On The Town Sat, 10 Oct 2009 22:06:00 -0700 http://fluffontheinternet.com/pivot/entry.php?id=427 http://fluffontheinternet.com/pivot/entry.php?id=427#comm
So the plans are coming along nicely for the whole wedding thing. The ceremony location is booked, and so is the DJ. The reception is now down to just a couple choices, and the photography choices are also being narrowed down. She has her dress picked out, and is going in Thursday for a proper try-on, and to show it to some friends and family.

I'd heard a lot of noise about how hard it can be to plan a wedding. And honestly, I'm not really that stressed about it. Then again, I rarely get stressed about many things, do I?

Seriously though? The DJ is absolutely kick-ass. We were at a couple wedding shows these past couple weekends, and we saw him spinning a bit. Man, is this guy good. The transitions are utterly spot on, and I'm looking forward to having him there. ]]> 427@http://fluffontheinternet.com/pivot/ Chillin, Groomzilla Tue, 06 Oct 2009 18:12:00 -0700 http://fluffontheinternet.com/pivot/entry.php?id=426 http://fluffontheinternet.com/pivot/entry.php?id=426#comm
Granted, they're on my chin, not in my hair. But this is the inimitable progression of age.

Maybe now that I'm going grey, I can finally get some respect and be taken seriously. Also, does this mean I have to grow up now? ]]> 426@http://fluffontheinternet.com/pivot/ Bitching, Random Musings Mon, 17 Aug 2009 21:47:00 -0700 http://fluffontheinternet.com/pivot/entry.php?id=425 http://fluffontheinternet.com/pivot/entry.php?id=425#comm

In the meantime though, plans are still being drawn up. Tonight's adventure consisted of booking the chapel; that at least is a major obstacle overcome. For guests, it'll be a good venue because there's a bunch of hotels in the immediate vicinity, as well as some other forms of entertainment. Plenty of ways to kill time, if required.

Now we need to find a venue for the reception.... ]]> 424@http://fluffontheinternet.com/pivot/ Chillin, Groomzilla, Random Musings Tue, 11 Aug 2009 20:52:00 -0700 http://fluffontheinternet.com/pivot/entry.php?id=423 http://fluffontheinternet.com/pivot/entry.php?id=423#comm
The date has been set at May 15th of next year. We have a good idea for the venue of the ceremony AND the reception, as well as the pictures (they're all close to one another). We have a rough guest list sorted out, and Jeanette has a pretty good idea what dress she'll be getting, or so I'm told. Jeanette also has a friend who is a wedding planner, and she's agreed to work with us on this as well.

The big one in my mind is also moving forward... the entertainment. We'll probably get a DJ, but there's going to be so much more. I had one idea for "alternate" entertainment, and Jeanette has finally conceded to allow it to happen. I won't say what it is just yet, but suffice it to say that there will be on part of the evening's fun and games that will be absolutely epic. ]]> 423@http://fluffontheinternet.com/pivot/ Groomzilla, Random Musings Sun, 02 Aug 2009 19:42:00 -0700 http://fluffontheinternet.com/pivot/entry.php?id=422 http://fluffontheinternet.com/pivot/entry.php?id=422#comm
There a series of new experiences coming to my life, which should make for some good blog fodder......I'm getting married.

Yes, you read that right, the 40-year-old-marriage-virgin is getting hitched. I asked Jeanette to marry me last night (in a rather unique and embarrassing way, I might add), and she said yes. Tentatively we're looking at the middle of next May; just under 10 months. This satisfies my desire for a short-ish engagement, while also satisfying her desire to plan the living bejeezus out of things.

And I've got a new nickname for myself now too... World? Meet Groomzilla. ]]> 422@http://fluffontheinternet.com/pivot/ Dating, News of the World Sat, 25 Jul 2009 13:17:00 -0700 http://fluffontheinternet.com/pivot/entry.php?id=421 http://fluffontheinternet.com/pivot/entry.php?id=421#comm
