My girl keeps talking about the 'M' word...and she says she would like the ceremony to take place on a beach in mexico. She said, that anyone who could make it, would make it. I told her it was selfish. She said, it was her dream. I cut her head off.

Why is it selfish? I thought weddings were for the two Romes getting married. Let him do it then have a reception when you get back; nobody likes the stupid ceremony anyway

I left out the reception part as well. Ceremony and reception in foreign country. Now I realize I'm being selfish.

Tell her that the Mexico beach is okay, as long as it's something like like this.

I wonder how much money a place like that is making.

holy shtein^^

Wound up giving $75 to my second cousin for her wedding. Everyone dislikes the groom and doesn't think it's going to last. Fun times.

Who were the girls in the Facebook pix?

SD · August 14, 2011, 08:01:24 AM

My sister and my cousin

Rome is going to refrain from posting his next thoughts now.

Rome · August 14, 2011, 08:45:02 AM

Actually I was thinking his sister definitely got the looks in the family.

That's insane

Geowhizzer · August 14, 2011, 02:43:00 PM

5 dead so far, 40 or so injured, some critically.

That's just unforgivable. That line of storms rolled through N Ill around 2 PM, and the warnings were for 60-70 MPH winds, hail and dangerous lightning. No way they shouldn't have shut that concert shtein down before 5 people died. Ridiculous.

Yep. And supposedly Gov. Mitch Daniels (couldn't find a direct quote, but was mentioned in this article) said the storm was a "fluke" that noone could have anticipated. Sounds like someone is taking precautions against lawsuits.
