Nauseating

You know, I could, conceivably understand why you would want to set up a website for a wedding. It would, if nothing else, save on all the mass-e-mailings, etc. But why on earth, when you're providing this valuable service for your guests, would you post your story as well? Shouldn't they already know that? I mean, come on, kids. You're just opening yourselves up to a (much deserved) world of hurt. Particularly when you're a pair of politicos.

{...}One day, which was a day of great tragedy for our world and country — September 11 th , 2001 — Pat and Laura made independent decisions that they we were not going to allow terrorists to take away that which is most sacred to Americans - the right to vote, for September 11 th was an election day in Saint Paul. They each voted that day and they each traveled similar paths to an election night gathering party at Mancini's. It was a time for Americans to be together, and they needed that time. That night, Pat and Laura sat next to each other, talked, and looked into each other's eyes. They were the same.

But it was not that fateful day when Pat and Laura officially came together. Some time later, while Pat was sitting at home watching another stimulating rerun of Happy Days, most likely the one where Fonz had to get glasses, Pat's phone rang. The voice sounded like Laura. Was she calling to ask Pat on a date? Not even Andy Summers could imitate someone that well. It definitely wasn't Duff, as the tone was sweet and devoid of references to violence. It was indeed an actual woman calling Pat, and it was actually Laura. For this one brief moment, Pat was surely the Fonz, although with a tattered brown sweater and oversized khakis. {...}

I'm as much of a sap as the next person. Probably more so. But, really, I'm trying to resist the urge to vomit.

I mean, c'mon girls. Aren't you just dying to make your guy feel like the Fonz?

Many congratulations to the happy couple and all, but sheesh. Watch what you share, eh?
