Wedding Flashbacks

As of this Saturday, Kyeorda and I will have been married for five years, something that is hard for me to believe. It just does not feel like it has been that long. To celebrate, we took a trip to Toronto this past weekend. It had been a while since we had taken a real vacation, our honeymoon in fact. While preparing for the trip, we ended up walking through our wedding day and each day of our honeymoon. I am not sure that we had ever done that before. It was a beautiful week and a half I wish I could live over again.

But another episode relating to our wedding sprang into my mind recently. We were married on the 20th of August, 2006, but originally, we were to be married on the 13th of August. That date was changed for various reasons. I mention it due to its relevance to Rudy's August 13th shenanigans. I just so happen to still have the emails relating to this so without further ado, I present Rudy and Jesse's trip to New Zealand.

Subject: New Zealand

Jesse, what are you doing on August 13th? I have these two
tickets for a week in New Zealand (all expensives paid)...
you wanna go with me?

A free trip? That is awesome. What an awesome friend! We were supposed to go to Michigan for wedding planning that weekend, but this is a once in a lifetime opportunity, right?

Subject: Re: New Zealand

Wow, let me get a hold of Kye, we're supposed to take a trip back to Michigan for wedding planning and I'll see if I can juggle that around a bit.

Jesse

And so I forwarded the message to Kye and asked about changing our trip.

Subject: New Zealand (fwd)

So, obviously I want to go. Would you want to go back to Michigan really early in August (I know you have a doctors appointment around August 1st). Or maybe we could take the wedding trip at the end of August. Let me know what you think.

Jesse

And then I sent another message to Rudy.

Subject: Re: New Zealand

Dude, how did you get these tickets? Just curious.

Jesse

And Rudy responds...

Subject: Re: New Zealand

Ha ha, I forgot I sent that. Jesse, aren't you getting married on the 13th?

That message sounds odd.

Subject: Re: New Zealand

13th of August 2006. Was that just a joke then? Sucks to your jokes if it was

And Rudy responds...

Subject: Re: New Zealand

Or is Samantha from Samantha's Creations full of crap?

Samantha was a wedding planner we hired. That's odd he knows about her. And then Rudy writes...

Subject: Re: New Zealand

Oh man, you are going to kill me aren't you?

- rudy

He explores further....

Subject: Re: New Zealand

Wait, you are getting married in 2006? Does Samantha know that? She thinks it is 2005, you might want to make sure she knows that.

Rudy is generally a fairly astute reader, but perhaps he missed something. I look this up myself. Clearly I am thrilled.

Subject: Re: New Zealand

Dude that was lame. Here is what's on the web. She does have us listed as 2006.

You suck,
Jesse

And Rudy responds...

Subject: Re: New Zealand

Maybe she does know... oops... yes, I was trying to pull a fast one on you, but it doesn't work as well if you are not in person... heh heh...

- rudy

And I respond in mature form...

Subject: Re: New Zealand

LAAAAAMMMMMMEEEEEE

I omit a few messages because we tried to set up talk on pine, but Rudy concludes...

Subject: Re: Kind of funny when read in sequential order

You have to admit I fooled you big time... I hope you didn't rearrange anything... ha!

- rudy

Well, I did in fact start rearranging the schedules of five other people. I'm not sure if Rudy realizes he was on fairly shaky ground with Kye for a while. Incidentally, Rudy did make it to our wedding and waited for another time to travel to New Zealand.

Some people.
