It's a fun weekend, you sorta freeze LOL, they do set up a wedding chapel too

Yes, that's my ring, Ollie designed it, we found the stones at pawnshops and the metal was two of my grandmother's rings that were too damaged to repair (rose gold)

Hi Beej and Ollie! And Jan, too!

I'd love to be able to make it up for that, celebrating my birthday at your wedding, but work continues to not cooperate so I'm stuck here! Without a doubt I'll make it one of these years, but again it won't work this time around.

Have a blast! And congratulations!!!!!!!!

Happy birthday Jacob! You know, they let you up on stage if you have a GHD birthday...can't wait to see you, hopefully this summer!

Beej -

Wish I could come for your wedding. It will be such a fun wedding experience! Congratulations to you and Ollie and Maria. I will be there in spirit!

Congrats on your upcoming wedding! I was wondering if you were getting married this Groundhog's Day. I hope it's not too cold out.

I'll never forget the year Michelle, Reuben, and I went to Groundhog's Day, or as Michelle would call it "Rat Fest"

It was fun and crazy, but doubtful I would do it again!

i went 2 years ago, and I will never do it again. I wanted to get it out of my system and now that I have I won't be going back. It is wayyy to cold to be standing around all night.

What goes on up there other than pulling Phil out? I always wanted to go out just to see.

[Beetlemania]

What? Someone takes their Phil out? This I gotta see.

Ooooohhh! You mean the rodent. I think it's basically a big party that centers around that, but they have music and stuff all around. Of course my only experience so far is from the movie.

[GINA]

haha me too.

Phil? Like the groundhog Phil??
