I saw that video a couple months ago. Lani thought it was hilarious. I am so musically inept I mostly didn't get it. It didn't help that I'm not familiar with most of the songs he sings so for all I know he is just cramming them into the joke. Though I'm sure he's not.

We actually don't like Vegas. But I appreciate the suggestion for a simple approach. Our LA party will be smaller-- coming from Catholic midwestern stock, the Michigan wedding is pretty weddingy. Though I like that we're showing a movie for part of the reception-- that's pretty us.)

What's that got to do with getting married? So how about Elko? If you went to Elko you'd get a nice road trip out of it, a certainty of no meddlesome attendants, and I could tell my owl mutilating story.

There, now you can't say that the promise of an owl mutilating story isn't worth throwing all your plans out the window to get married in one of Elko's fourth-rate casinos, can you?

Well, we do want our family to be there. All of our family. And anywhere other than where we're doing it wouldn't allow it to happen.

The owl mutilating story, though, I have to hear. Spill.

Not unless you get married in Elko.

And please don't take my comments at criticism of choices. So long as your choices are your (second person plural) choices then there is no criticism to be fairly offered by anyone.
