the Sacred Promise

andrea and i have been together (in hearts and minds) for almost five years now. the actual time spent in physical proximity to one another is more like three years. regardless, we have decided to take the step so many people that love each other take; we are going into business for ourselves selling replica american classic cars and bald eagle statuettes. of course we will be able to get any and all unicorn schnick-schnacks your heart can dream of, so dont worry.

but really, we are getting married. and it is very, very, really exciting.

we hope to update this blog with information for our friends and relatives so that they can, in our words, enjoy what happens when two 'corns become one. yes, we are a UNIcorn. yes, its silly, and maybe even a little ironically dated, but we are having fun with each other. we only hope you can have some fun with us too.

what we have ready for ya'll so far is this:


the DATE & PLACE - July 19th, 7 pm (short Catholic service, no kneeling, i think) @ Christ the King Church (thats my parish!)

the RECEPTION (or what we like to call, the party after the storm) - right now we are weighing options of where to do this. we want to make it fun for all but want to be able to keep the celebration going past 11pm, which since i grew up in Indiana, is hard to do since everyone wants to go home and watch the news. my choice is near northside downtown, but andrea has a lead on another spot just south of downtown. it doesnt really matter, because it will be fun and the food will be yummy (no dinner folks, its too late for dinner, ok?) and the drinks will be cold and free. this portion of the equation MUST be decided before we send out invites.

INVITATIONS!!!! - ug. you would think my awesome ideas would just come to exist, but they dont. we are playing around with images and wording and want to make them unique but not break the bank. just look in your mailbox in a week or two, if you still use that thing. trust me, it wont look like another bill, i promise.

REGISTRATION - target, c&b, amazon.com - links will be provided later. and trust me, we took it easy on you.


are you ready for next semester? oh right! ANDREA GRADUATED!!! she now has a Master's in Sociology from IU Indianapolis (that means iupui, but lets just keep the rivalry going) and is working a LOT for AYS. i am keeping the money rolling in at WFYI and doing some painting,cussing, and writing on my own blog. we are two busy young people with two adorable cats. this is a big step we are very excited about and want to thank everyone involved NOW before this monster gets out of control. so thanks.

young people in love!
