the cheese and macgruber say i do

a ton to catch up on since i last blogged. tom petty concert in atlanta. j-watt joined me and a few co-workers, and we even scored backstage passes. family reunion in the burgh and accompanying pictures.

most importantly, this is the big week of the cheese and macgruber's wedding. we're headed to gainesville tomorrow (although both families are from florida, they chose this city actually because it's where they went to college and me). fun fact: the cheese and macgruber (the macgruber-cheeses, as they will be known, i think) have been together longer than dr. wintermute and me. if you do the math, it means they started dating when they were like eight years old or something.

anyway, i'm really looking forward to the whole long weekend. my rents and my bro are coming in as well. it's a nice feeling to see the families come together like this.

sadly, i don't believe that the tails-top hats-monocles option will be in play for the groomsmen.

now, in the cheese i have certainly met my match in terms of detail-orientation for the wedding. i don't mean that in a bridezilla kind of way (although dr. w likes to joke that i was a groomzilla. and by joking, i mean that she really thinks i was. hey, it was MY day too, and i was going to be damned if things didn't go according to plan).

anyway, the cheese has really done a fantastic job with putting together a fairly large wedding with virtually 100% out-of-town guests, in a town where she and macgruber don't live. for the wintermute wedding, at least dr. w was living in atlanta, and i was visiting every couple of weekends (and spend the summer that we got engaged in atlanta) so we could meet with vendors, scout locations, etc.


this is also a first for us in the dr. wintermute and i are both in the wedding party, and we also get to read a nice passage during the ceremony, which is an honor. appropriately, it is from the simpsons.

will blog more from gainesville. in the homestretch...
