Had a blast, kickin it with the fam, in San Diego
My Wedding Shower in San Diego was a complete success. Thank you so much for everyone who was able to help make the weekend truly something special. For those of you who are wondering, Hilary (my Maid of Honor, who quite courageously joined us for the event) didn't find the experience at all scary. She's such a trooper. A special Shout Out goes to my Sisters and Mom for putting the whole thing together. You guys totally rock. The whole weekend really kicked my butt into "Bride Mode." Hopefully we will be able to commandeer some photos to post. Can't wait to see you all soon...4 weeks and counting. Eeeeee!!!!!
Lastly, a quick question; Mary Anne, Is that a dick on your sweater?
Much Love

More Hi-larious Wedding Videos
This is exactly why we are not going to allowing any video recording devices at our ceremony. You'll just have to remember the horse riding, roller skating, juggling, back flipping, hill sliding fiasco all on your own. Until then, enjoy this:

WHAts-goink-on!
Well, here we are, eight weeks and counting until the nuptials. It seems we have a whole bunch of stuff to do, but we’ll make it! Some updates: Reagan wins the extra piece of cake for decoding the blog title (see her process, below), Katherine is heading to California for her shower in about two weeks, the paper invitations will be in the mail soon and I have most of my costu… er… I mean, tuxedo, put together. All in all, we’re doing our best not to panic and we’re looking forward to seeing you all very soon.
Here is an actual picture of the actual sheet of paper that Reagan used to decode the actual blog title. Fascinating.

Frequently asked questions about our wedding.
Q: Are you having a traditional wedding?
A: Not in the least. But we’re not going to tell you what it’s going to be like either, because we want it to be a surprise. If you want to find out, you’ll have to show up.
Q: Should I be frightened?
A: No, don’t worry. The ceremony won’t be too weird. It’s not like we’re doing it in the nude or anything. But on second thought…
Q: Is it going to be one of those, long, drawn out affairs?
A: It is going to take exactly as long as it takes. C’mon, we’ve been together for 4.5 years… We have a lot of ground to cover. But, we will let you drink during the ceremony if that makes you feel better.
Q: Is it formal dress?
A: Why don’t you stop your grousing, take a shower and look pretty for once. You know who you are… If Katherine can do it, you can do it too.
Q: I’d like to coordinate my outfit with your wedding colors. What are they?
A: Purple and silver. But Katherine does not want you to misunderstand. We are not Goths.
Q: Will there be dancing?
A: Yes! Everyone will dance! Even the best man… That’s right, even the best man.
Q: What about food? Will there be food?
A: We are having the wedding catered. There will certainly be enough to fill you up, but due to the lateness of the event we encourage our guests to eat a large breakfast or lunch, or both. We don’t want anyone sipping champagne on an empty stomach.
Q: Is this some kind of theme wedding?
A: Maybe. But the theme of any wedding is, “Gosh, we love each other more than we have ever loved anybody, ever.” So we’ll go with that for now and keep the rest to ourselves until the curtain comes up… Oh wait, that might be giving it away.
Q: What took you so long?
A: Katherine thinks it was a perfectly reasonable courtship/engagement. Patrick was having such a great time being in love that he didn’t want to jinx it. But he is now confident that marriage will only add a new layer of flavor to the relationship- kind of like that crusty, yummy, burned part on top of the crème brulee. Which reminds us… if you see one of those torches in either of our hands, get the extinguisher. Fire! Fire! Ha ha ha…
Q: So, what’s with the blog? Are you like, the couple of the future or something?
A: No, Katherine’s sister Betsy just has more to do in her life than answer questions for us. Besides, we’re hoping everyone will use this space as a forum to get connected, plan transportation and get to know each other as a family before meeting in person.
Q: What’s the deal with the title of your blog, “Pink Heartsick Elevator?” Do you two have some wild fascination with lovelorn modes of vertical transport?
A: Well, the blog title is a kind of code. We’ll give an extra piece of cake to whoever figures it out first. Post your answers at the end of this post.
Q: Are you going to send out actual paper invitations?
A: What do have against trees? Just kidding… we don’t like trees either. But seriously folks. Yes, we are going to send out paper invitations. So watch your mailboxes and save a place in your Hello Kitty scrapbook.
Q: Where are you going on your Honeymoon?
A: We hope to spend seven blissful days in Savannah, GA. Mint juleps, history, sun, sand in our pants, crusty civil war re-enactors and good southern cooking. Patrick wants to find an obscure outsider artist, buy some strange art and sell it to a dealer for a million dollars. Katherine just wants to get some much needed vitamin D and see some ghosts.
Q: Wow, this sounds like a whole bunch of fun! I can’t wait.
A: Um… That’s not really a question, but we appreciate your enthusiasm. We can’t wait to see you there; after all, you are our favorite friend (parent, sibling, etc.).
A: Not in the least. But we’re not going to tell you what it’s going to be like either, because we want it to be a surprise. If you want to find out, you’ll have to show up.
