Observations from the other side...

The fianc� was very adamant that I post today and I figured I would take the opportunity to give my perspective on everything preppy in a wedding.

I�ll leave you all with 5 observations of a simple man:

First� the fianc� has done a superb job planning this wedding. I couldn�t imagine trying to do everything that she has done and I�m grateful to have someone like her in my life (going for brownie points here so work with me)
Second� preppy or not, a wedding is a great test of the endurance of one�s love for the other. There have been times when I have gone dizzy with the polka dots, monograms, bows and ribbons. I�m sure my lack of enthusiasm over what arrangement of flowers and tables with color schemes and chairs has irritated and annoyed my love but after the ceremony it�s just a big party with friends and family where the only thing they will remember is the food, booze and the band.

Third� the only thing the �preppy� groom will care about is the food, booze and band. Fortunately, I think we�ve done right in all of these departments. I did lose my battle for a bourbon fountain but you can�t always get everything you want.

Fourth� I can�t dance worth sh*%. I don�t blame myself. The problem when you are 6�4� and your dance partner is 5�2� is that when you are dancing you look like an abnormal giant working a puppet around the room. Regardless, the many dance lessons with our instructor have been amusing.

Fifth� I can�t wait for the day to come when my fianc� will become my wife. Besides the fact that the planning, dancing and practicing will end and we go on a much needed honeymoon, I�m looking forward to beginning the rest of my life with my best friend.

PS� if anyone is getting married please let the guy register for some fishing gear. We don�t care about china!
