no nifty song lyrics tonight

Hi from beautiful Lincolnshire, Il... Home of... well nothinq special. I'm chillin here at the Holi.. no the Courtyard. Nice place. Thanx to MB for the rocking rate. I'm also lucky to be here, mainly because the rest of the family is scattered across the northern Chicagoland area. Finally, around 2130 everyone made it in to uncle Donald's. It's been a very long time since I've seen some of the people, like.. 5 or 6 years. Its weird seeing some of the kids driving, or walking around with an alcoholic beverage in hand.. well, not so much. Uncle Donald use to give us beers starting at age 7 or so. Some people might see an issue with this... but I turned out fine.

The wedding is tomorrow, and the schedule is something like this... the family is driving up to the hotel near the wedding /reception site. Checking in, and changing. Pre-wedding drinks are served beginning at 1430 or so in Gary's room. The wedding is at 1600 at a nature preserve here. Its allegedly a beautiful place. We'll see tomorrow. Its an outdoor wedding and the weather forecast, sunny and 75 degrees. Looks like God has blessed this union.

So, reception immediately follows the ceremony at the same preserve. And yes... there's an open bar!!!! All you can drink 1600-until (does it sound like I'm participating in covert military operations with the military time?). And yes, I'm dateless. You got till noon to get here. I still have an open meal (which apparently is provided at a cost of $160... this better be the best damn chicken ever). So, bring it on girls. If you choose to come, you have to dress as equally as hot as myself!

OH and theres a live ochestral/band thing... and apparently the choice of musicians was based on Kristen's (the bride and my lovely cousin) musical preferences. And Kristen being a rocking relative of mine chose some one who not only knows DMB tunes, but sounds strikingly like him! Rock on!!

So thats all for today, its been a long one and i'm going to hit the bed. Should be a lot of drinking tomorrow... wish me luck!
