The Wedding

Planning a wedding is like building ikea furniture, but you don't get instructions or even a picture of what the furniture should look like.

But by some miracle, you figure it out, and its the best furniture you've ever built. You enjoy the crap out of it for a day and it was worth all the trouble. 

Now that I'm married, I am really looking forward to letting myself go. If I work hard at it, I think by next summer I could have 85% more belly, 75% less hair, a sparse and wild beard, and my Snuggie will fit like a sweater.

I have already started carrying a utility belt of hostess sno-ball cupcakes.

    Hahaha! Congrats on getting married! And man, that snowball utility-belt idea + Snuggie sweater idea is freaking brilliant. If you're going to let yourself go, why not do it in style, right?

    Congrats! But good luck retaining the snoballs weight once you have to start chasing kids around.

    No no no you are doing this all wrong! First you have to get her pregnant to lock her in. That way when you get fat and disgusting she'll be forced to stay with you because of the kids. Trust me Ive done this a million times

    Carrie- I am a quarter swedish so I can tell you that yes, a quarter of me does smell like meatballs and lingonberry jam. Its wonderful.

    Kumar- You clearly know what you are doing. I will cut down to only have 4 to 5 sno-balls a day, so I can maintain my ripened apple like figure.

    After 16 years of marriage, I have decided to get back in shape. Round is a shape, right?
