> Hang in there, Trent! Only another six months (or so) to go!!!

You know one thing that’s great about getting Old? Other people’s children get cuter and cuter the more certain you become that you will never have to do that again. ;-) And that mom & dad (not you) get to put them to bed…or, uhm…try to put them to bed.

I love little kids! Love ‘em more & more with every day that passes.

Nope, just ask people to be involved in planning and setting things up, and you can tell them that they can skip the wedding gift and actually help instead. For example, ask a whole lot of people to suggest champagnes for the reception and then if they happen to offer to bring a bottle, great. At our wedding, one of the people suggested a brand, then offered to give us a case of it as part of our wedding gift. We accepted.

Wait, are you suggesting that the bride and groom tell people what to bring for a gift? That doesn’t jive with last week’s gift-giving advice. (But perhaps I didn’t understand that sentence…)
