News ... !!!!!

OK, I should have published this earlier, but really, anybody who reads this already has heard it (let's be honest ... there are about 5 of you, and I talk with 4 1/2 of you on the phone regularly).

But because it's fun to say, I'll say it again:

I'm engaged. Jon and I are now planning our super-awesome-wedding-fest-apalooza (copyright 2007 Jennifer Hibbard).

The wedding will include:
  1. me in a fabulous, Jenny-rific dress (magically inexpensive ... still working on that)
  2. Jon looking down-right jaunty in snazzy formal attire
  3. Jenny and Jon being disgustingly and publicly in love and telling everyone about it
  4. Friends and family having a fabulous time
  5. CAKE! (or possibly apple crisp and JP Licks ice cream ... or both)
  6. At least one polka (I have to ... it's Wisconsin law - and I gotta represent)

The wedding will not include:

  1. country music
  2. Pachabel's Canon in D
  3. a long drawn-out ceremony including praying for world leaders (so not wasting time on my wedding day praying that George Bush is given sense)
  4. cheesy wedding favors that people don't know what to do with afterwards
  5. an annoying DJ who thinks s/he is really entertaining, funny, and talented.
  6. meat on meat action. There will be no scallops wrapped in bacon - or anything else for that matter. Nothing needs to be wrapped in bacon, ever.

I'm sorry. You totally had me until meat on meat action.

Everything should be wrapped in bacon.

[But I'll still be your bridesmaid. I'll just have to bring my own bacon.]

I knew the bacon would be a point of contention. And I love nice crispt bacon on a BLT or with eggs. But not wrapped around other meat. It's just too meat-normous for me.

Meat on meat action is perhaps the only reason why weddings are so gosh darn fun.

Thus, your wedding may end up being cursed.

But, congratulations anyways. I heard from my sibling earlier this week and thought I'd come stop by to say best of luck and good wishes in person. But then you had to go and throw out the bacon... so nevermind.

What about water chestnuts wrapped in bacon? It's tasty and delicious! But also not meat-on-meat action.

Congrats again!

My advice for finding a fabulous dress at a cheap price is to look at discontinued dresses. Also, if you are no looking for a giant trained dress (awesome if you want it though!), check out "destination bride" lines -- they tend to a little less pouffy.
