design and registration

those two words make me think about lithography and screen printing, but really they have nothing to do with andrea and i right now - well.... i think a monotype printing press would be a pretty awesome wedding gift, but those are like $2,000. wedding or printing press? hmmmm....

i am still compiling images for the invites. still want it to look cool but provide all of the information you will need to be at the right place at the right time (i WILL be sending one to myself, just to make sure i make it).

if you so choose, you can take a look-see at what andrea and i have chosen as objects to register for at two stores. this is a very odd situation, due mainly to our political beliefs on labor and spending practices. these are things that will bring us joy together, even more than the two of us just watching some dumb or amazing movie with one another. maybe justification for our choices should be said like this: at least we didnt ask for a couch from Crate & Barrel or a Dyson Vacuum Cleaner form Target. crazy expense for furniture and things that suck are not our forte.

check it out anywho:
Target has this thing called Club Wedd. i think its a play on words because there isnt any secret oath to join.


C & B is like the rich white persons version of Ikea, only for REALLY rich white people.


my name is ben traub and my lovely wife to be is andrea freund. click away.


________________________________________

Andrea bought a wedding dress today. i would love to say its beautiful and amazing, and i guess i should since its important. so yea, its beautiful and amazing. i dont get to see it until 7.19.08, but im pretty sure its dress shaped and doesnt have any weird hat that goes with it. i hope it didnt come with a hat.

and as much as i loved the idea of looking like james bond at my wedding when i was 13, i dont think a tux is in the cards for me. black suit. tie. white shirt. i want to wear my all black chucks, but andrea says 'heck no.' whatever....


and thanks to all of you out there reading up on this magical time we are having. it is surreal and strange and makes us laugh a lot. the stories i have heard about other weddings make me think we are doing something very wrong, but it feels like we are doing it right. i guess we will see in a about thirty-three years.


hmmmmm......wedding.......hmmmm......or a press........hmmmmmm. do i have a choice? of course not!

CB registry does not have YOU listed but there is another Benjamin Traub that married Inga last February. Hopefully it's just waiting to get you into the system. I'll check back. Not that I am a rich white person and I do have Ikea at my disposal if I decide to go all cheap on you.

The question is, did you propose in the living room of the apartment, making it three-for-three of the last three residents of the place to do so?

C&B has me under Michael Traub. they took my drivers license just to register! good thing i brought my back-ups.

Well, I have seen the dress and it IS beautiful and amazing...but the hat is even better.

Good question from Matt about the proposal. Gotta keep the tradition going...

Oh, and can I just say how much I appreciate Andrea's no nonsense approach to dress shopping? Seriously. We went into the bridal store, she selected five dresses, tried on the last one and said "this is the one," paid for it on the spot and we were done. I think it was a total of 30 minutes.

With each passing post, I'm getting more and more excited! This IS going to be fabulous. Jen, I'm glad you got to experience "no-nonsense" wedding dress shopping. Maybe it runs in the family (even though she isn't in the family quite yet). I went in to the store, tried on 4, bought the fourth, and was VERY happy with my selection. I think it might have taken 45 minutes, though.

Remember guys, you're planning a LIFE TOGETHER, not just a wedding. This is the fun part, trust me. Enjoy this and know that the best SHOULD BE yet to come!!!

LOVE YOU!
Jen (your sister/sister-in-law)

Ben - Check out those Marthas. In one, there is a guy getting married in some chucks. Fodder for conversation... I mean, if Martha's okay with it, then who can argue. It's not wise to argue with a woman who's been to prison.

How can i wipe windows xp from my laptop and reinstall windows Me -the laptops indigenous software?
I have recently bought a used laptop that is old. The himself I had bought it from had installed windows xp on it, orderly for all that it originally came with windows Me. I want to eradicate the windows xp because it runs slows on the laptop because it takes up more memory than the windows Me would. Also I want to transfer windows xp because it is an wrongful copy. So when I tried to run updates on it, windows would not set up updates because the windows xp is not genuine. [URL=http://zdusuwv.angelfire.com]aau tournament in north carolina[/URL]
