Hello, my name is Jaime, and welcome to tonight’s episode of Master of the Obvious. Tonight we’ll explore the fusion of Jaime “Pedal to the Metal” Case to Chris “Breaks for Small Animals” Hodges. As it turns out…
We’re getting hitched.
Yep, all of this interviewing, planning, thinking and plotting still brings us to one immutable conclusion:
Marriage.
I [...]

With 25 days left until we officially become Mr. and Mrs. We-Haven’t-Figured-It-Out-Yet, the only word to describe how I am feeling is:
Over-scheduled.
Within the next month:
We will say goodbye to Roxy. (Right now it’s scheduled for next week, but we’re hoping to keep her through the end of the trip.)
We will get married.
We will find an [...]

The great part is that this evolution takes away one of my big fears around marriage. Generally, I had the impression that a wedding was also a funeral for your social life.

The other day, Jaime said she was getting cold feet about the idea of getting married. This surprised me and was a bit of an ego blow – who wouldn’t want to marry me? At first, I wondered if she just said “yes” when I proposed because of that big shiny rock I offered her [...]

He’s also exceptionally smart and entertaining, so I’ll forgive his predatory nature.
Kyle told me [...]

I had no idea that getting engaged would make me think about death so much. It seems to be the only thing I can think about for the past 24 hours. Well, that and how evil the smells were that seeped out of the woman in front of me during spin class this morning. For [...]

I titled this blog “Wedding Anxiety Dream #1″ because I am sure there are many to follow, given that I still have dreams about bussing tables at Spoons, a job I had, oh, about a hundred years ago.
So last night’s dream… I was attending a friend’s wedding when I was told that I too would [...]
