Wedding Presents

I saw this article on MSN and that that it was funny so I though that I would share it with everyone.

Worst Wedding Gifts Ever

Enjoy!

Problems with AOL users

It seems like people that are using AOL can not view the wedding blog. I am not sure why this is. I will see if I can check out AOL's website to see if there is anything that I can do.

For you AOL users, I am sorry that you have AOL.

New member to the family

Joo Lin and I have a new family member that we would like to introduce to everyone. The name is still up in the air but here is a picture of her.She is a bouncing baby 2005 Honda Hybrid Civic.

Tuxedo

I went to Mr Formal yesterday and picked out the tuxedo that I will be wearing. It's really pimp! If I can find a picture of what it looks like I will try to post it.

Joo Lin's Dress

Joo Lin got notification that her dress is at the store in Portland. We have heard to many stories of wedding dress mishaps lately, mainly stores going out of business and the bride-to-be losing out on her dress because of this. So we are extermely happy this did not happen to us.

I can't wait to see it. I have been trying to be sneaky about finding out what it looks like but I haven't been to successful at that. I guess I will have to wait till December 17th.

2473 SW Ghetto

I turned in the keys the old apartment on Tuesday. Oh the memories that I have of that place. The following is a recap of some of the events that took place while I lived there from the past 2 and a half years.

Starting over and starting sober.
Becoming active in church.
Starting to date Joo Lin.
Spencer Wilberger's move in
Attending OSU again.
My first PS2.
The great dishwasher flood of 2003.
The great ice storm of 2004.
The great flood of 2004 (great ice storm of 2004).
Toilets overflowing and causing the great flood of 2004 part 2.
Four different apartment managers.
Attempting to grow tomatoes.
Spencer Wilberger's move out.
Brooke Wilberger abduction.
Two neighbors skipping town during the middle of the night.
January 1st 2005 proposal to Joo Lin at Silver Creek Falls.
Dan Dodge and spider solitare.
Dan Dodge skanking on the couch.
The free TV.
Ticor Title.
COSINe job.
The potato incident and the 2000 fruit flies.
Target DC job.

The great ice storm of 2004 is now a distant memory and I am hoping that the new apartment brings many good memories that I will laugh about in the near future.

Joo Lin speaks out

Hi everyone - I'm finally making an appearance :) Today I have been working on my portion of the guest list. Who knew I know so many people? They're not all going on the list, but I am still tracking down addresses.

I am very excited for Kelley's new apartment. It has so much potential and I think Kelley loves it, too. Plus he can walk me home as in the old days! We're just finishing up the cleaning and then the move will be complete... besides, as he mentioned, unpacking and organizing.

I love Kelley and I am so excited that we're getting married! I also appreciate the support and thoughts from everyone. Peace out.

Move In Complete

The move to the new apartment was a great success. The apartment is coming together quite nicely but we still have a lot of boxes that I need to go through and put away. Hopefully that will be done this week some time. We had our first guests over and they really liked the apartment. Mindee gave it a thumbs up to liking the apartment even though she wasnt able to move around that well in it. Ruth liked it too. We cant wait until we are married to have sleep overs with her and the kids. Hopefully the pool will be done soon so that the kids can enjoy that too.

I really like the apartment a lot and I believe that it is a step up from the ghetto apartment that I was in before. I just hope that the ice cream lady/husband don't roam this neighborhood as often as they did the old one. Keep your fingers cross.

I bought our first accessory for our apartment today. I order a dance mat for the PS2 so that Joo Lin and I can do DDR (dance dance revolution) anytime we want. I hear that it is a great form of exercise and hopefully it will keep us fit and it won't break within the first few weeks that we have it. I will keep you posted on that.

Posting Comments

Posting comments without registering is now possible.

What is a blog?

A few people have been asking me what a blog is and to be perfectly honest with you, I don't really know what it is. The way that I am using it, is as a forum/journal of what is happening in the progress of our wedding. I hope that clears it up a bit.

I also had a few questions about how to post comments to what we write and from my understanding is that you have to be registered with blogspot (aka blogger). It is free and I will be looking into seeing if I can set it up where you don't have to be registered. I will keep you posted and keep checking back to see updates on the wedding plans.

Invitations

Here is an update from Ron, our caterer. We are planning on saving money by having him print out our invitations. We have not picked out a card stock yet but we should have that done with the next couple of weeks. The invitations, that we saw, were really nicely done so that is why we decided we would go with him and save some money that way.

"Invitations, vary depending on the stock you choose. Figure roughly $2.00 per invitation unless you get really fancy with the stock."

Menu

After about a month of having our caterer picked out we finally have our menu. This is what we are planning on serving at our reception; Chicken Primavera, Greek Salad, Sauteed Vegetable Medley, Vegetable/relish platter, and a fruit and cheese tray. Hopefully this doesn't clash.

99 Days

The reason behind this blog is to discuss the wedding plans for Joo Lin Stephens and Kelley Rice. I am Kelley and I am excited to say that I will be getting married to a beautiful young lady on December 17th, 2005.

Today I have to wait only 99 more days until I begin something that I thought would never happen, an eternal companionship.

I Love Joo Lin and I can't wait to be married to her.
