I posted new pictures to our site. These are pictures of “law school prom,” as Scott likes to call it. We had a law review dinner on Friday night and then Supreme Court Day on Saturday night.
Announcing Scott’s Best Man Challenge
Contestants have been notified, judges have been rounded up, and it’s time for the official announcement of Scott’s Best Man Challenge!
Scott’s Best Man Challenge is a game of cunning, strategy, wit, and brute strength that will determine who is Scott’s best man. Three contestants will challenge each other in a game to raise above mere groomsman status for the honor of best man. Contestants must prove themselves worthy to hold and protect the ring and hand it over at the correct time. They must demonstrate adeptness in toast giving (humorous, yet touching but not too long). The best man must also show financial responsibility in the collection of cash for the dollar dance. Many qualities make up a good best man and this contest will run contestants through the gauntlet and see which one of them comes out on top to receive the coveted honor performing as the best man.
Scott’s Best Man Challenge will be composed of many separate smaller challenges tailored to bring out the qualities of a prime best man. Some of these challenges have yet to be determined. That’s where you come in, Oh valued internet readers. Let us know what you think would make a good best man. What would be a good test to determine whether our three contestants will stand up to the pressures that being a best man carries? Please comment and let us know… is it trivia? Feats of strength? Culinary skills? Anything! We want your input on how this challenge should proceed!
Keep an eye on this space in the near future as we announce contestants bios, judges bios and to watch the challenge unfold.
Artist’s Rendering #2
After the rave reviews that my first artist’s rendering received…
Too bad plan A didn’t pan out, But i can see why, with that ‘crayola plan’ you were following.
-Matt & Brian FiddelkeBoy, you draw better than I do!
-Leonardo Da VinciBeautiful crayon work!
-Pablo Picasso
I decided to create another artist’s rendering of how it actually happened. The “Plan B” drawing.
But who’s counting?
The website is! If you ever want to know (in excruciating detail) how much time is left till our wedding, just check the new counter at the bottom of the the sidebar.
We picked the date!
We have decided to get married July 14, 2007, so mark your calendars! We are so excited to celebrate with all of our family and friends. We are going to have our ceremony at St. Andrew Presbyterian Church in Iowa City and our reception at Brown Deer Golf Club in Coralville.
Funny Card
Jess gave me a funny (but true?) card over the weekend.
When our story is told
and it will be told
in song and fable and interpretive dance
and puppet show, people will weep with joy
and, through sobs, say,
“Today we have witnessed love.
How can our lives not be bettered by this?”
Okay, the puppet show response may not be so strong. People may not be ready for puppets.
From my perspective
First of all, thank you everyone for your posts. Scott and I are truly blessed to have such great friends and family. I apologize for not posting sooner. Don’t worry…Scott has already scolded me.
I thought I would write about the proposal from my perspective… After we went swimming in the ocean, Scott told me he wanted to get another picture from the top of the cliff with the ocean and the ruins in it. We walked back to “the spot” and took a look around for someone to take our picture. I kept saying that we should just ask anybody to take our picture because even if the person didn’t speak English, everyone knows how to take a picture. But Scott was adamant that we find someone who speaks English. Finally we found our photographer. At this point I wasn’t really paying attention because we had taken so many pictures already throughout the day. When Scott came over to stand by me, all of a sudden he was down on one knee. A part of me thought that he was tying his shoe or something. But then he looked up and asked me to marry him! Unfortunately it took me about a full minute to register that he was really asking me to marry him! And yes, I did ask if he was serious. I truly was not expecting his proposal. In my defense, we have been on lots of vacations before and he has never asked me to marry him on any of those.
So once I gathered my thoughts, I said yes. I didn’t stop shaking for a while. I still haven’t stopped looking at my ring. 😉
Photos Are Up!
The Photos have been uploaded to the gallery. They might be a bit out of order at the moment and they still need titles and descriptions. We’ll get to that eventually, but right now… Scott need sleepy!
Thanks to everyone that left comments! The response was a bit overwhelming today when we got into Miami and started checking this site’s comments and our e-mail! We really appreciate it! Stay tuned to the site… Jess has been trained on how to post so I’m sure there will be more thrilling stuff coming as soon as we catch up on sleep.
