Hello every one… we are officially on the count down. We have 33 days left! Time is definitely going by very quickly!
Last weekend I was a groomsman in Jason and Krista’s wedding. Their wedding was at the Summit House in Fullerton. Their wedding was absolutely amazing and I hope ours turns out as nice, which I am sure it will. The point of telling this is while I was standing up there supporting Jason and Krista as they start a new chapter of their lives, I kept picturing Allyson and I up there in front of the minister. It was awesome because not only was I ecstatic for Jason and Krista but I can’t wait until it’s our turn. I have to say, I am so ready to be married!
As crazy as it may sound, Allyson and I actually almost got married last month. We went down to the Santa Ana Court House to get our marriage certificate, and that’s when it happened Allyson looked at me and said lets just get married right now! She said we didn’t have to tell any one and we would just have a big party on the boat. It was tempting but I just couldn’t do it. Our parents, (Her FATHER) I don’t think would appreciate it very much. We did however have a bit of a laugh, we took a few pictures of us under the Civil Wedding Ceremonies sign at the court house and sent it to our families. It seems nothing amuses Allyson more than raising her father’s blood pressure a few points. Don’t worry everyone, when we get married on the boat it will be for the first time!
So as I was saying in my last post that there would be some last minute items to address… well I got handed an official list today at lunch. Allyson picked me up at work so we could meet our wedding planner and make the final payment on the boat. We touched on a few last items like seating arrangements, who will be allowed on the boat before the official boarding time and things of this nature. After we got done cutting the check, we decided to go out to lunch. Allyson had been hinting that she had a list of things that still needed to be done before the wedding but I was not ready for the 3 pager she handed me. Items were broken down in to very specific to do’s and numbered. 1-25 some even had sub categories. The list was very well organized but more than I was expecting. In fact it would be kind of funny if I posted the list. Then you all could see how organized she really is. After a minor squabble about wedding songs we split the list and went over the due dates. I think Allyson is feeling better now that she knows we are on the same page. No pun intended. Hopefully we will get all the items checked off and have at least a week of no wedding stuff a week before the big day. That’s the goal at least.
Hopefully Allyson will be able to write a little bit but she has a really busy next few weeks. On top of THE to do list she has her wedding shower, her sisters baby shower and a bachelorette party to attend.

Funny how a "to-do list" brings one back down to Earth. But it is a good lesson on the reality of marriage. There are more to-do lists than raging moments of excitement. That said, with age, we find that we look forward to the to-do lists and attacking them with a spirit of cooperation and sense of purpose and then feeling a great sense of accomplishment once every task is done. Big Joe is the master list maker, kind of like Allyson. I think Ally and Joe, Sr. have a lot in common!
We almost got married at the courthouse too! We had the same thought - get married and don't tell anyone. We didn't do it either because you spend a small fortune on your wedding and its nice to have that as your anniversary. :)
Looking forward to the wedding!
Micah and I have that thought almost daily! Micah brings it up all the time. People are even placing bets to see if we'll last another year before we get married. haha
Although, you two are a lot closer to the date than we are. Way to stick it out!
