Ok, that’s it. I’m totally sick of looking at Miss Boobie Bride 2008 every time I happen to come back here and I bet you are too, so here goes.

Um…

Erm…

The problem is, every time I think up something rad to write about, I always think, ‘oooh but I should save that for Weddingbee!’.

Arghh.

I’ve contemplated copying my posts from there to here to pass the love on to non WB-ers but I dunno, that just doesn’t feel right.

So here’s the best I can do for now while I think about it s’more: I will take a page out of Sparkly to Single’s book (love ya, btw) and play a little ‘Have You Ever’ with you.

Have you ever…

1. gone on a blind date? Nope. Hmm, opportunity missed I guess, since I’m getting married an’ all.

2. skipped school? I had this girlfriend Sommer in university, and we used to ditch out on our poetry class all the time to go shopping at Winners. But I always was flooded with guilt afterwards (for the cutting class part, not the purchasing part. That came later with age and wisdom and, er, budgeting).

3. watched someone die? *shivers* No.

4. been on a plane? More times than I could count. And I’m not exaggerating – I was a flight attendant for one (gloriously fun) year.

5. been on the opposite side of your country? Yes – my fiance took me to Green Gables on Prince Edward Island last year. It was THE BEST TRIP OF MY LIFE! Gilbert makes me swoon.

6. swam in the ocean? Yes – see above, but also off the northern shore of France (ok that was more wading than swimming), and the Indian Ocean off the coast of Madagascar.

7. had your booze taken away by the cops? No, I must drink it too fast (insert Polish joke here).

8. lettered in high school sport? I don’t even know what this means. Maybe because I’m allergic to sports.

9. cried yourself to sleep? Duh, of course. Isn’t that what teen angst and wedding planning is all about?

10. played cops and robbers? I do have a younger brother, but we preferred throwing G.I. Joes off the roof of the barn.

11. sung karaoke? Oh yeeeeahhh baby. The latest installment was at a work function. Note to self: no more singing New Kids songs at work functions.

12. paid for a meal with coins only? Here in Canada we have one dollar AND two dollar coins so this one is easy.

13. done something you told yourself you wouldn’t? My first reaction when I read this was, Pffftt! Of course! But then I seriously could not think of even one thing. And of all the semi-crazy things I’ve done, I never actually said to myself I wouldn’t do it. So… *shrugs*. I guess this will kick into action the day I go sky diving.

14. cheated on an exam? Definitely not.

15. made prank phone calls? If finding the airwaves channel of some local truckers on our big a$$ walkie-talkie and telling them our name was Malibu Bob counts, then heck yeah.

16. laughed until some sort of beverage came out of your nose? Yes and it was bubbly. But that was a long time ago. More recently, I saw expired milk come out of my fiance’s friend’s nose. It was a dare. He’s coming to our wedding and something tells me I will soon see Dominican rum make the same voyage.

17. caught a snowflake on your tongue? I live in Canada. I’ve eaten entire snow men.

18. watched the sunrise with someone you care about? Yes.

19. been kissed under the mistletoe? Oh man. This was SUPPOSED to be my very first kiss ever, how tragic. I bought a real live sprig of mistletoe, wrapped it up and kept it in my car for like, a month. Sadly, I was waiting for juuuuust the ‘perfect’ moment… which never came to be. I never did kiss that guy. Now he’s married to a be-yotch. I hope the two things aren’t related.

20. ever been arrested? Nope.

21. gone ice skating? For sure – best skating moment of my life was a couple years ago, gliding around the frozen river at my parent’s ranch. Awesome.

23. been skinny dipping outdoors? I’ve seen so many coming-of-age movies and shows (I love you, Pacey Witter) that I think I have, but I probably imagined it.

24. had a nickname? My best friends and I call each other ‘Sius’ (pronounced shoosh) – literal translation: little squirt of pee. The fiancée calls me Lunchbox. Romantic, I know.

25. been on TV? I auditioned for and got a role in a bunch of videos that a production company made for students doing their Biology 30 course by correspondence, and a few years later, they ran them on public television. I’m so glad I’ve never had the pleasure of seeing my knee jerk when someone hit it with a rubber mallet (that was the episode on the nervous system).

Well that was fun. And more importantly, the boobies have been banished!

How about you? Have you ever…?

My future father-in-law has quite the sense of humour, which is no surprise if you know the Fiancée.

Today, he emailed me this:

By coincidence, I recently received the enclosed photo from my old friend X. I’m sure that your readers would love to see the newest wedding dress trends in Moscow.  I’ve been told by authorities in Russia that it is an old custom for the engaged couple to share a litre of vodka before embarking on a wedding dress purchase & you can see the results in this jpg. (follow the email trail below & you can see it does originate in Moscow)

I replied:

Wow-zahs. Really too bad I already bought my dress.

According to European wedding tradition the ring is engrave the name of spouse and date of marriage on the inside of the rings. This is the way or symbol of marriage union and commitment of each other. You face some problem to choice ring for you fiancée because see is very special for you and you are confused in selection, then you must select a ring which is like your fiancée very special. This is very touchy moment and if you want to make this memorable moment then you must give special ring in gift.
