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.).

Can I bring my dog? What about midgets? Are they allowed?
I don't think your significant other would appreciate being called a dog. As for midgets, you'll have to ask your "dog" if they mind you running around on them. Quite frankly, this seems like more of a question for a couples councelor.
i am so glad that i visited your site. now i really feel that i know all that i could possibly every need to know about the event. but, in retrospect, all i really needed to know was that ian will be dancing. ian. dancing. i am going to hold him to that.
can't wait to see you!

why isn't this blog ever updated? i'm sure I wasn't alone in hoping there would be videos, podcasts, photos and flash animation.
I have to say i'm kind of disappointed.
Um, the code may have been cracked for the name "pink hearsick elevator". but is there an extra "e"?
i take it all back...there is no extra "e". i'm just a jackass, and there is no "e" in jackass.
Ermmmmmmmmm..... We just drank a bunch of whisky together via telephone. So old-fashioned. No podcast. But, however....... We really did not drink whisky. I had scotch and you had bourbon. I do think that you and Patrick are the couple of the future. O, Blogosphere!!!!!!! Hm. There was something I was planning on saying. Of some significance. Not about hotels. Maybe I will remember later. Love you, Patty Kit! (Celebrity name)
