It's me, Daniel!

Well hello there friends,

Please forgive me---this is my first time. I'm not really sure what I am supposed to be doing, but it sort of looks like I am starting out in standard letter format. Not sure if that is proper protocol or if I should be using MLA, but then again I don't really care. Feels right to me, so lets just roll with it.

So, from what I understand Christine has been sharing with you guys a bit about our wedding planning process and a few other things that have been going on in our lives. It all seems so dreamy, right? There is a list that men have, its not an official list or anything, but all men have this list. It's a list of things they love to avoid if at all possible. Frequently sighted on these lists are colonoscopies, IRS Audits, eating Vegan food, and wedding planning.

Of the aforementioned items, the first two, I have zero experience with, so I cannot comment. I am sure Christine told you about our short lived experimentation with Veganism, and honestly, not that bad, especially the spaghetti squash and the eggplant fries. I would totally be up for either of those again.

As for wedding planning, it's well documented how treacherous it can be for the groom-to-be. Trying to find balance, and keep your fiancee, mother, and future mother-in-law happy can be challenging to say the least. Add on an additional layer of trying to manage financial considerations and you start to understand why Mr. Big left Carrie Bradshaw at the alter (bet you didn't see a Sex in the City reference coming up did you). I mean, the wedding planning process can be super stressful, and sometimes the wedding can become bigger than the actually process of getting married. (...if that makes sense?) Anyways, remember when I asked if it all seemed dreamy? Well, it should. I've seen enough guys in my day go through this unnecessarily painful process to know how thankful I should be that my amazing fiancee, mother, and soon to be mother-in-law have made this process so easy. Actually, as odd as it sounds, they have gone beyond making it easy, and they have actually made the process fun. Our photographer even said something to the effect of, she thought we looked like we were having more fun than other couples she has photographed.

I'm obviously looking forward to the wedding, and I can't wait to marry my bestie (for the record Lukas---I'm talking about Christine). Can't wait for our honeymoon, I think we are going to Thailand! (LADYBOYS!!!!!)

Anyways, I want to thank Christine, my mom, and Christine's mom. Wait, I am forgetting a few more people...my brothers wife, Lacey, my sister Michelle, and of course the maids of honor Anita and Debs for being so supportive and super awesome.

One last super important update, my homeboy McCrae (McCrazy, McCrayCray) had a little thing removed by the vet. Nothing major, but just made me realize how much I appreciate him.

Ode to McCrae


Anyways, thanks for hanging with us and we will chat soon. Probably not...I dont know who you are.
