super-awesome-wedding-fest-apalooza

I've decided to start a second blog about Jenny&Jon and our wedding plans. To read the history of Jenny & Jon (you'll laugh ... and then you'll laugh some more ... and then you'll say "awww") visit my new blog at http://jenny-jon.blogspot.com/.

Stay tuned for wedding updates, the harrowing experience of planning a fun and affordable wedding in Boston, finding "the dress," and the continuing adventures of having heirloom diamond jewelry thrown at you from all directions.

Watch out, diamonds can be pointy! But sparkly.

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.
