Ladies and gentlemen, a family Cry Face (from a photo booth at a recent wedding):
We may not agree on how we feel about what happened yesterday, but Cry Face will always bring us together.

yours to decide, cute or creepy?
Sorry that I have been “the worst guest blogger ever” to directly quote Mallory. I recently got back from a fantastic trip to Ireland and London with my Mom, and then we had a long-femurred visitor a few weekends ago. I know, poor me.
All excuses aside, I wanted to share this youtube video to see how people felt about this marriage proposal. So far, we’ve got 2 votes for creepy, 1 vote for cute (sorry, Caroline).
To me, it seems like the girl being proposed to in the video would vote creepy as well, but that’s just my observation.
Here it is: Disneyland Musical Marriage Proposal

i’m back again. not joking. really.
Hi, remember me? Yeah, it’s been awhile. Sowwy.
Lots of things have contributed to my lack of posting (turns out I had swine flu!), but no need to dwell on the past (oink, oink). To the future!
There have been SO MANY THINGS I have wanted to post about, and my wonderful friends continue to send me quirky things on the interwebs that they know I will adore– like this video from my friend Laura. I think I’ve watched it five times.
AMAZING.
Or this Web site, www.peopleofwalmart.com, which has been sent to me by faithful readers Miguel and Civil War Dave.
These times are crazier than ever. Jon and Kate do nothing but fight, Fox News’ Shep Smith is starting to sound like a socialist fascist communist Democrat, the Republicans are threatening to teabag the American people and Jessica Simpson’s dog was eaten by a coyote! Yikes! Those are clearly the most important things going on in the world today.
And as if life in general wasn’t dangerous enough, Alexander McQueen has decided to introduce TEN INCH high heels to the world:
Grosssssss. I don’t know, but something about them reminds me of giraffe hooves (I’m a nature girl), which is oddly appropriate. There are more, you can see them here.
But hey, at least one thing is right in this world. Jim and Pam are getting hitched tonight! RAWR!

youtube clip of today: wedding film.
Again, with the warm-and-fuzzies! I can’t stop! The lovely Miss Potter sent this video along, and I don’t think it needs much of an introduction, except to say that it goes along this set of photos:
What a LOVELY wedding. (Lovely is the warm-and-fuzzy word of the week.) And could this couple BE any cuter?! She makes me want to chop off my hair and dye it platinum blonde, and he makes me actually sort of almost like seersucker. Needless to say, around about 2:15 in that video, the tears began a-flowin’. An enormous kudos to photographer/videographer Josh Goleman. You done good, Josh. You done good.

here’s your freaky friday grab bag.
I don't know what bothers me more, the !!!! or the comic sans font. Whatever, TGIF.
It’s freaky Friday, y’all. While only one of these stories is really freaky, it’s so freaky that it dominates the non-freaky stories. Let’s just get to the point:
- Amy Wolfe, a 33-year-old unemployed church organist, loves carnival rides. Well, actually just one. No, she doesn’t just love it. She like LOVE LOVES it. Amy is an objectum sexual, meaning she falls in love with inanimate objects. No joke. And soon, Amy and her love, named the 1001 Nacht, will be machine and wife. She and it are getting married. (I felt weird saying “they”.) She plans on taking the surname Weber, after Nachtie’s manufacturer. I promise you I am not making this up! Read the story the Jezzies have on it, it includes UNBELIEVABLE video.
- This falls under the just plain dumb and hilarious column. Dennis Cretton isn’t supposed to drive anymore. After a DWI, his license was revoked. Dennis found what he believed to be the solution to his troubles. He decided to drive his lawnmower to the gas station to get beer. Fortunately for the world (and unfortunately for our friend Dennis), the police got a call reporting a man drunkenly weaving in and out of traffic on a lawnmower. According to the story on MSNBC, he tried speeding away from the cops, and drove up onto his lawn. (I wonder who mowed the rest of it?) He spilled his case of Milwaukee’s Best and ran into his house. Needless to say, he ended up in jail.
- I think we can all heave a collective “what is this world coming to?!” sigh with this story. Caroline Tagg just got her PhD… in texting. Officially, the philosophy of texting communication. Reading the excessive text messages of 15 year old girls must have been really gripping. Getting a Master’s degree in the Beatles is much cooler.
Have a wonderful weekend everybody! I hope your daily dose of weird was satisfying. More and longer posts next week, I promise. XOXO.

youtube clip of today: unusual entrance.
So today (technically yesterday, as it is now past midnight) was my birthday, and it was great. Relative to other recent birthdays of mine, “great” means “no major disasters occurred.” Let’s just say that my last two birthdays set the bar really, really low. But this year, I ate lots of yummy food and was reminded that I have lots of wonderful friends and family, and that’s what birthdays are for.
Then, as I was perusing my blogroll, I found this video:
It sort of made my already great day. I went from grinning to tearing up to outright weeping with joy by the end of the video. Guess 23 won’t be all that different from 22.

the oldest jonas brother gets engaged.
She looks like a brunette Ashley Tisdale. Right?
Kevin Jonas, the “Ike Hanson” of the Jonas Brothers, is engaged. His fiancee is 22-year-old Danielle Deleasa. The two met while their families were vacationing in the Bahamas, and according to People:
When Deleasa, a former hairdresser, first met Jonas two years ago, she admits, “I didn’t know who the Jonas Brothers were.” It was Kevin who eagerly pursued her after meeting her and then spotting her walking on the beach with a flower in her hair.
How romantic. She is a former hairdresser? I suppose her job now is being Kevin Jonas’ fiancee and fighting off tweens.
“She said yes, yes, yes like 500 times super fast in a row,” the oldest of the Jonas Brothers tells PEOPLE exclusively.
Oh. Emm. Gee.
Kevin Jonas is just 21. At least he’ll be able to drink at his wedding? Are there pregnancy whispers yet?

kendra wilkinson’s having a baby bunny!
Yup, former Girl Next Door Kendra is having a baby! She announced her pregnancy when she was asked why she didn’t participate in the champagne toast at her bridal shower. (Apparently, according to Perez, her mother and grandmother are pissed because they found out at the same time as everyone else…) Congratulations to Kendra and her hubby-to-be, Eagles wide receiver Hank Baskett! Can you imagine? A baby bunny at Hef’s mansion, just coming to hang out and play. That would bring a whole new meaning to the phrase “playmate”, would it not?

sesame street teaches us about marriage.
Here’s a cute clip that’s been going around the Interwebs lately. What I love about it is how Sesame Street defines marriage as two people who hug and kiss, live together, love each other and are best friends. [Insert Bert and Ernie joke here. Ha!] Does that scare you, NOM? The Sesame Street definition is simple, and probably the best one I’ve ever heard. We are never too old to learn lessons from Sesame Street. Thank you, Jesse and Grover! (PS- How adorable is Jesse?!)

nom’s anti gay marriage ad…terrifying.
There’s a new anti-gay marriage ad out there, and it is terrifying.
I’m not scared of the storm. I’m scared of NOM. I’m scared of their bad actors (and they are actors. See their audition reels here. Thanks, QT!). I’m scared of their bad writing (ex- “There’s a storm gathering. The clouds are dark, and the wind is strong. And I am afraid.” You are afraid of weddings? Seriously?). But most of all, I’m scared of their message of hate and discrimination.
You know what I think of when I think of NOM?
A lot less scary than some crap a dark storm and a bunch of lies (click that link and read what HRC says.), don’t you think?
