It's happened before. SP1+HitomiYuriko+Althaia = CAA Family. Although, in another 15+ years or so, we might have to all visit Ashley and Cap'n Nick and force them to sign their kid up as AshleyKid. Even or especially if it's a boy. Ashley, Cap'n Nick, you guys are warned.

The second kid can be Cap'n Nick Jr.

Mave, that's pretty amusing. XD

I'm late to the party, but congratulations! Wish you both all the best.

Have you thought of color schemes for the wedding ^^? That's probably one of the funniest parts 8D

Actually I'm finding it pretty difficult. I don't want to do anything super cliche like "summer = beach wedding." Trying to get lots of ideas this week so we can try to pick them by the weekend.

Mave, you made me laugh so hard! :lol:

It's weird enough to think of having kids at all (I am still getting used to the idea of my new last name), let alone kids who might someday stumble upon their mother's teenage obsession...

And I'm pretty sure BOTH my future-in-laws and my own parents would kill me if I eloped, especially since I promised my sister she could be a bridesmaid.

Not sure if this wil lmake sense, but maybe you should have the colors clash with the seaon you choose to have your wedding in XD That would be interesting.. I think *shrugs* XD

Well, considering you've wanted to get married since a little girl, why would you elope anyway? Besides, it'll be more memorable this way!

Postby **Ashley** » Wed Feb 18, 2009 6:54 pm

Well, I'm inclined to agree with you now, but I bet in about oh, 2 or 3 months, I'll probably be thinking elopement is easier. XD

Yeah, well, no one ever said wedding planning was easy. And if they did, they're probably selling something. XD

Hmm, this makes me curious. But anywho, I don't have anything planned, but I have thought about the dress I want... not that that means I'll find that exact dress.

Belated schmlated. It's not like having a birthday -- saying congrats never gets old! (Incidentally, neither does the word fiancé XD)

Is a WOOT appropriate at this point? What do you mean Off the Market? I didn't know you were ever on the market. [kicks self, lol]

oh, wait, I'm off the market, too.

My wife reminds me every year how much she wishes we had eloped. Everything that could go wrong for our wedding, did.
No work is always a lot easier then work...

At any rate, Im sure you have a lot to plan and get ready for. My wife actually ran her own wedding coordinating business (and she was quite good at it) before we both went back to school. She was convicted to help people not have the same hard time she had planning our wedding. My point in saying this is that if you need, or want, any suggestions (Im sure you are getting plenty) just let me know. ^_^

Im sure everyone would agree that while we may not have much to give, we can certainly pray for the both of you as you enter this new stage of life.

I have heard it said that when you get married, your life is over... While this sounds like a negative assessment of marriage, that couldn't be farther from the truth. You see, while both of your lives as individuals end, you begin a new life together. This means that you will likely have to give up parts of your old life, but the new is worth every bit! ^_^

I am always excited to see lives united in the Lord.

Super-extra-mangarific-congratulations!

So Ashley, how is the planning coming along so far?

Postby **RandomBurrito** » Tue Mar 10, 2009 6:01 pm

Congrats! (late too) I hope you two have a wonderful and God blessed wedding and marriage! ^_^

Postby **Mr. Rogers** » Thu Mar 12, 2009 1:59 pm

Fun stuff.

And, Savannah, your sig is disturbing.

Postby **Ashley** » Mon Mar 16, 2009 7:09 am

So Ashley, how is the planning coming along so far?

Um, it's coming. We've got some things nailed down, but I'm constantly amazed at how much work has to be done! Even if I did nothing else full-time but spend money and plan, it'd still take several months to get done. Plus, I don't want to turn into a Bridezilla; this is Nicholas' wedding too, and I want him to have an active role in the look and feel of it.

Our families (both biological and church ones) have been very helpful, though.

Oh, and I can't tell you a time or place, but I can tell you the date: August 9, 2009.
