Well, we are now just shy of one more month until the big day. Preparations for the big day are reaching a…umm…fever pitch…

BUT, the good news is that I think we are at the point now where we are “dotting i’s and crossing t’s,” or at least that’s what I hear Kay telling people on the phone.

Kay’s cousin Thomas got married in DC this past weekend, so Kay and I were busy taking mental notes. A few directly and indirectly-related observations:

1. At one point during the ceremony, Kay leaned over to me and asked, “Does my breath smell metallic?” She then proceeded to breathe in my face.

2. The potential exists for me to do a fair amount of public speaking next month, which I haven’t done much of outside of graduate school, so expect PowerPoint slides, handouts, and a ten minute Q&A at the end of my remarks. But seriously, it will look something like this:

3. Thomas’ wife, Caroline, was serenaded by all their guests to “Sweet Caroline” during the reception. To her credit, Caroline knew all the words. In an effort to anticipate a similar gesture at our wedding, I will be teaching myself how to “Dougie.”

4. I still know all the words to “Love Shack.”

5. Remember to hydrate throughout the evening. And before bed. And the next day. 

6. Are you guys pumped for Breaking Bad on Sunday?

Speaking of which, don’t expect any more updates to this blog before Sunday night.
