Because Pachelbel’s Canon in D is one of the most popular wedding songs, we featured funtwo’s rock version in the past. Mr. Bee just sent me this link of comedian Rob Paravonian’s rant about Pachelbel’s Canon in D and it’s hilarious! You gotta watch it.

Fiance's Age and Occupation: 29, Product Manager
Engagement Date: October 8, 2005
Wedding Date: September, 2006
Venue: The Foundry
About Me: I like puppies, technology, baked goods and naps. Our engagement went down in Paris on the Alexander III bridge where my fiance nearly dropped the ring into the Seine.
Then why didn’t you send me a message via myspace.com?! Check out this weirdness.
I barely login to myspace.com, maybe every few months or so when someone adds me to their network. Anyway, I checked in not too long ago and found the following message in my inbox:
How odd is this craziness? Maybe it’s just spam, but it was pretty specific. I certainly didn’t have any…

Engagement Date: December 10, 2005
Wedding Date: November 11, 2006
Blogging Since: June 7, 2006
Venue: Metropolitan Club
About Me: My favorite activities used to include knitting, cooking, doing the crossword puzzle and about a million other relaxing pursuits. Since my engagement, well, not so much. Wedding planning has become my primary hobby. So much so that I am downgrading my work schedule to part-time in order to more fully dedicate myself to my wedding (and reality tv, as well, if I'm being honest).
This is an oldie but a goodie and makes all my vendor worries disappear. (For the moment!)

Miss Sunflower, New York
Age and Occupation: 26, Speech-Language Pathologist
Fiance's Age and Occupation: 31, Slave to the MTA
Engagement Date: August 12, 2006
Wedding Date: April 2008
Venue: Jericho Terrace, New York
About Me: Mr. Sunflower & I have been together for 3 years and to this day, he laughs at me when I tell him that I knew on our first date that I was going to marry him. Well, the most recent events prove, yet again, that I know everything. Most of my time these days involves planning and getting inspiration for our wedding, but when I'm not doing that, I enjoy shopping, movies, reading, writing, and making attempts at being crafty.

About Me: I am the 2nd of 5 girls. Yes, you read that right, 5 girls. I don't know if there's anything interesting about my wedding that I can tell you but I was proposed to twice.
A man and woman had been married for more than 60 years. They had shared everything. They had talked about everything. They had kept no secrets from each other except that the little old woman had a shoe box in the top of her closet that she had cautioned her husband never to open or ask her about.
For all of these years, he had never…

Fiance's Age and Occupation: 29, Musician
Engagement Date: March 9, 2006
Wedding Date: September, 2006
Venue: Rooster Point
About Me: I don't like Jeff Koons, mushy corn, or the unnecessary diacritical marks the New Yorker adds to words like cooperative. Also, I'm an obsessive compulsive when it comes to crafts. And not just the ordinary kind of obsessive compulsive who needs to have everything even and aligned. No. I've gilded the heads of pins to make sure they looked properly antique. Gilded them. Then coated them in german glass glitter. I am that crazy.

A duster. Not even a feather duster but a fluffy cotton sort. Were they trying to imply my house needed to be dusted? Please!
I also received a jar of salt and a jar of pepper-but no shaker, no grinder… Just the salt and pepper inexplicably in a box.

I’m sure there are far worse things, but this freaking hat was the worst…

My blissful morning shower was abruptly interrupted when Mr. Spider came bursting through the door in the following scene:
Him: BABE, I accidentally shaved my eyebrow!!!
Me: WHAT?!?! Why the heck were you shaving your eyebrows??!!
Him: I shaved it accidentally…
Me: Why the heck was the shaver around your eyebrows?
Him: (No Response)
This is when I step out and take a look and sure enough a huge chunk…

This gave me a good chuckle.
As you rest your head on the pillow for those valuable last few moments before you wake the words Good Morning Sweetheart are gently pressed onto your cheek. Even though you may feel tired and drowsy your loved one can see how you feel.

How do you decide who to marry?
You got to find somebody who likes the same stuff. Like, if you like sports, she should like it that you like sports, and she should keep the chips and dip coming.
-Alan, age 10
No person really decides before they grow up who they’re going to marry. God decides it all way before, and you get to find out later…
