Happy Fifth Anniversary, babe!<\/p>\n
If an engaged person were to ever ask me for wedding advice, I would tell them:<\/p>\n
1) Only buy ONE wedding dress. And buy it as close to your wedding day as possible. I suggest no more than 6 months ahead of time. (I had 3 dresses, 1 wedding. Oh well).<\/p>\n
2) One venue for both wedding ceremony and reception is really a good plan, especially if you’re a godless heathen, or alternatively, don’t mind having a cake and punch reception in the church basement (or whatever).<\/p>\n
3) Hold your wedding on a minor holiday. We had the choice of a wedding on July 14 or July 21. I originally wanted July 21 because (as always, I am not making this up) it looked better on invitations. (Yes, really). But now I am glad we chose July 14 as it is Bastille Day<\/a> and who forgets what day Bastille Day is??<\/p>\n 4) Marry Gene. If Gene is married (which he is) or if you are a heterosexual male, marry someone as Gene-like as possible. You will spend an absolute minimum amount of time at sporting events and the food is better. (Hee hee).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Happy Fifth Anniversary, babe!
