May 11, 2007 | Woohoo!, Ottomatic For the People, The Year of Living Changerously
(I wrote this ahead of time and set it to post at midnight, lest you have the urge to come yell at me for posting on my wedding day.)
I’m ready to do this thing.
I’ve got something old.
And something new.
Something borrowed.
And something blue.
And I also have this.
(I’ll be back Monday as Mrs. Otto. Maybe even with pictures.)

May 11th, 2007 at 12:30 amJust going “Awwwww!”… even if I am some anonymous reader from over the other side of the world. I can’t help it if I’ve got caught up in your life, and seeing I could be second cab off the rank to leave a comment, I am. So - Congratulations! At last the day has finally arrived for you!! *Throws rose petals*… Can’t wait to read how it all went. Best wishes to you, Otto, and the kids too.
May 11th, 2007 at 1:03 amCongratulations Mir and Otto, from the other side of the world also, its been great to lurk and read about the lead up to your day. Hope it is more than you could ever imagine, and here is me throwing rose petals too ( I have heard that rice is painful if it gets in the eyes!).

Oh, Mir. Have a wonderful day! We’ll all be thinking of you, and celebrating with you in spirit.
May 11th, 2007 at 11:00 amI looked at the clock a little bit ago and thought - 10 a.m. (CST), hmmm, Mir and Otto may be saying their vows this very moment! Then I thought, I’ve GOT to get a life!!! Regardless of whether I actually need a life of my own, however, best wishes and fairy dust and love sprinkles over your day and all the days to come.
