Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for October 03, 2011

JJ, I do love your look on life, funny but very observant.

Yeah, wait until she actually walks down the aisle and he’s there waiting for her.

That’s the way I feel about weddings, too!

I think they’ve already had the honeymoon! Go to the J.P. and put the money towards refurbishing that old house they want to buy.

Go to Vegas, let Elvis officiate, have the reception at the Imperial Palace buffet.It’s a lot of fun for everyone, costs a lot less, and your friends will still be talking about it long after that overpriced stuff that all the other women go for.The wife wants to go back and do it again…with me again even! :)

I don’t know about Vegas any more. Elvis is gone along with the Rat Pack, Connie Francis, and Sigfried and Roy. Why not scale back even more and go to Reno. Better yet, Winnemucca.

Their voices cast shadows?

by pure coincidence, my company was having a 10-year-anniversary trip to Vegas the same weekend I got married. All of my coworkers were telling me to come to the bash and do the wedding in Vegas! I have to admit, we actually entertained the idea for about 30 seconds, but kept our local outdoor wedding. (I guess we made the right choice! 11 years and a 5-year-old daughter later, we’re still together!)

As mother of the groom, Janis wouldn’t have much to do with wedding planning anyway.

My daughter got married 5 yrs ago and we pretty much paid for everything except a couple of the tuxes. Our wedding was in my parents backyard, was over by 5:00 PM and cost $500. The wedding party did more damage to the paint on my vehicle than the wedding cost. 34 1/2 yrs come Xmas.

Yeah Moe. I’ve always said if I get married again an Elvis impersonator is dong the ceremony. I heard one do a service that incorporated several Elvis song titles and it was hilarious while still being slightly reverent. “Will you always be his hunka hunka burnin’ love and promise to never step on his blue suede shoes?”

Smart kids.

My wedding was planned the day before, but only because the law mandated a 24 hour waiting period between getting the license and marrying.
