If I were to bring my 4 skin kids and 5 fur kids to meet you, what would we do for fun?
We'd go to Hollywood Blvd and let you see Graumann's Theater, The Kodak Theater, the stars on the sidewalk, and the Hollywood sign. We'd also drive up to Mulholland Drive so you could see the view of the city from up high/far away. And we'd go to the Santa Monica Pier so you and your kids could see the Pacific Ocean and play.

What would you fix for us to eat?
For a crowd that big....probably a huge salad, my special spaghetti (I get loads of compliments on my sauce), and garlic bread. Wine for the adults if they wish.

What about my DH?
What would him and your DH do while we were chatting?
Brian would either play Playstation with him or drag him to his favorite movie theater to catch a movie.

How did you met your DH?
We met online. I was looking for a graduate school and saw on an online profile that he had graduated from there. I emailed him to ask questions about the school and the town and we've talked every day since.

1 1/2 years.

About 100 guests or so. Not really big.

My sister. I'm missing her tonight. She lives on the east coast and we've always had a really close bond.

If a close friend of yours were to get a really bad hair dye done on her hair and asked what you thought,what would you say?
"Come with me. This can be fixed." And then take her to a really great salon and hold her hand. Unless of course she thinks it looks great. Then I might humor her a little.

If an old male friend of yours were to come up to you and ask how you've been, would you talk to him?Or just say good and that's it?
I would talk probably. I like catching up with old friends regardless of past history.

Can you draw pretty good?
I took art classes in college and got good grades, but I always had to try REALLY hard. So, no.

did you make your own flower arrangements for your wedding? (I did cause it saved money and it was MY own design)
I didn't do the bouquet flowers but I did almost everything else. I made all the jewelry. I did all the decoration and table centerpieces. I cleaned the garden and planted flowers out there. We saved a LOT by doing most of it ourselves. OH- I made the throw away bouquet.

Did your wedding go as well as you had hoped it would?

What was the reception like?

Did you get the Father/Daughter dance?

Did your wedding go as well as you had hoped it would?
The only thing that went "wrong" that we laugh about now is people got restless at the reception waiting for us to finish up a few photos before we came to cut the cakes. When we got in there to cut them there was already big chunks missing out of the backs... A lot of people left early too. We were planning on dancing etc., but in my small town they don't do all night wedding parties.

What was the reception like?
It was in a tavern, buffet style, very low key. I had small pumpkins and leaves/wheat on all the tables. Candles everywhere. A close friend/groomsman sang a set of music.

Did you get the Father/Daughter dance?
No. My dad is too shy to dance in front of people.

I forgot about this site. A friend who snapped a few photos at the wedding made it: Emily and Brian's Wedding

Oh I forgot! One of the reception decorations that people loved were framed photos that we put everywhere of me and Brian as little kids and growing up. We'd put one of me and him at the same age next to each other.

That sounds like a GREAT idea!!!!
We didn't have a reception.So, I didn't get the Father-Daughter dance either.And now that my Dad is no longer alive, I missed out on it.

It is a tradition in Shawn's family to throw the Groom into a body of water.They threw Shawn into the creek right out in front of our house.They TRIED to throw me,but that was a no no big time.I was 4 months pg and my Mom let them know she wouldn't *let* them do that to me.
