What’s this your saying now…the goodness of Wedding Love is about to continue, and this time it’s starring the one, the only, the totally and completely fabulous, the givers of fun, the supercouple that is known as Tennele & Gus?!  And you telling me that I’m not just here to tell you how awesome they are, but I’m also here to tell you that on a day not all that long ago, but actually a little bit of time ago, we had the goodlywondrous pleasure of working with them on their Wedding Day?!

That’s what your telling me, inner-voice that won’t stop talking?!  Well, how about thatI  Inner-voice, thank you for giving me such awesome news, as usually you’re filling me with all sorts of conspiracy theories…so this is incredible news!  Ahhh shucks, as the voice inside my head has told me, I’m coming to you at this hour so fine with a story of the wedding of good friends to the Otis & James Empire (OJE), none other than Tennele & Gus!

Well, I could go on and give you the ‘story’ but most of my intrepid readers of blog (and not just those driving Entrepids) usually know the story of how a wedding works.  So I’m just gonna tell you what I know, and here it is, plain and simple.  Tennele & Gus, you know, the people that I keep on talking about?  Well, they had a wedding.  We were there – even brought our camera’s.  And, do you want to know what happened next?  Let me give you a hint…it rhymes with ‘Lajick’.  Any guesses?  If you still haven’t got it…I’ll tell you.  It was magic.  No joke.  No kidding around.  The totally rocked it up.  I’m not here to pull your chain (again, I have no idea what that means), I’m just giving you the straight story.

Our time with Tennele & Gus & their awesome wedding party was short, sweet, and we thank them one and all for making us a part of their wedding day!  So, without any more of these silly words, I’d just like to add one more thing – MuchLove!

Hold on now, my good Children of Blog, for the Otis & James Caravan of Wedding Love (O&JCOWL – OJ Cowl?) kept on a cruising through the galaxy (I was going to say ‘area’, but that sounded too lame, and then I was going to say ‘world’, and that sounded too new-agey, and so I settled on ‘galaxy’, which makes it sound lame, but I’m hoping it sounds a little bit techodorycute, which is the title of my one man techno-band I have created – we play birthday parties  and extreme bowling events), and the next stop was the wonderful wedding of Liz & Jay!

This was yet another wedding where we weren’t just hired by the Bride & Groom (well, technically, we were hired by them, so I guess that we were kind of obligated to be there, but I’m going to continue with this line of thought anyway), since we know Liz’s side of the family so well, it seemed like we were part of the dilly-yo, except we didn’t have to buy gifts.

It’s always such a delightful treat to work with wedding parties where you know a lot of the players, so – and I’m going to be honest here – we had simply fantastic time working with this gorgeous group!  I sometimes wonder if they look at us and think we’re a gorgeous group, or if were more of an interesting to look at group.  Perhaps that question is best left unanswered.

Moving back into the story, the Caravan of Love stopped, we all hopped out, and got the goods.  Now, let me translate that for all you supersquares out there that didn’t get that.  We got with the Bride & Groom, took some wonderful pictosnaps, and eventually had to say goodbye – but not before fun was had by one and all!

Now, my good Peeps of Blog (POB’s), I need to thank everyone that made this day so wonderful, congratulations to Liz & Jay, and to all of you out there in your comfortable Blog houses on such a wonderful night – Enjoy!

Alright, alright…the editorializing has come to a stop, I swear.  For the past one week, two days and counting, it has looked as if the fine pages of the blog have become some highly local highly boring political blog about all things buildings.  Those days, are gone, and you know what days have come instead?  The time has come for us to get back to putting up wonderful pictosnaps of wonderful people doing all sorts of wonderful things, because that’s what we do best!

Now, we’re just going to pick up where we left off at, and if memory serves me (which, truth be told, it rarely does due to a period of time that I’m going to call ‘the 1990’s’), we’re going to pick up in a wonderful place [ed.  What’s the deal with you and the word ‘wonderful?’  I swear, you must have a word of the day calendar with only basic words.] that is known as The Wedding of Jennifer & Ryan!

My good friends of blog, I would be remiss if I didn’t inform you that this just wasn’t any old Saturday wedding in o&j world (well, actually, none of them are ordinary), but this one was extrasuperspecial because the Ryan was (and still is), none other than my separated at birth cousin Ryan!

Now, even though I’ve been trying to get the lovely mother of the Groom Fay to admit that Ryan & myself were separated at birth, and I was shipped down to the Twin Cities, there has never been any sort of admission.  So I’m going to have to be content with knowing that – at times – there is just an almost eerie resemblance between us, so that will have to do.  But we’re not here today to talk about that.

No, my dear friends, we are here to spread the joy that was this wedding!  Of course, I got me all of my information second hand, as due to circumstances beyond my control [ed.  What does that mean?  Were you abducted by aliens and probed for a day?  Seriously.], I was not able to attend the event (ironic, huh), but the always lovely James and her trusty assistant Miss Emily Jane were there, and they did an incredible job (as usual) – I mean, seriously, everybody knows I just mostly do the song & dance while Jamie does the work (God, I love my job) – so what’s the difference, really?!

They had a great time working with my family, and the results were wonderful (again, that’s the 12th time I’ve used that word here), but I think we’ve had enough of all my jibber-jabber, and we need to get to the part where I thank one and all that were involved with this day for being so easy and wonderful to work with (duh – they’re my family, we know how wonderful we are), and to Jennifer & Ryan, thank you for letting us be a part of your day!  Congratulations, and – MuchLove!

Oh my.  We need to immediately pack our bags and get in to the Otis & James WayBack Machine [ed. I thought we sold that?] and venture back to a time and a place that, for conversational blogging purposes we shall call ‘Not That Long Ago…But Too Long to Wait For A Blog Post’, and the reason why we need to ride the WayBack Machine to this time is so we can have the good fortune and experience the bliss that was the wedding of Kristy & Josh!

Alright, I know the WayBack Machine smells of gasoline and old McDonald’s, but you’re gonna have to bear with me as we really have to get back there and quickly, because time is and has been a-wastin’ and like, we really really really need to see the wonderfulness that was and is Kristy & Josh!

Are you with me…yeah…alright…we’re drifting now…just keep staring out the passenger window to see the goodness, and whilst you be doing that I’m gonna lay it on you like this.  We had a totally and completely sweetlyawesome time working with this awesome couple and their double awesome [ed. That’s three awesome’s right there, folks.   Count them.  Three.]  wedding party, as we went from sweet location to sweet location in search of the perfect wedding pic!  We offer one and all that were involved with this triple-thread of awesome MuchLove & ManyThanks for bringing their A-Game [ed. Seriously, dude, you’ve never played a sport in your life, stop trying to use the sport metaphors, alright??]

Alright, I can see that you’re jonesing to see what I’m talking about, so I’m gonna take the WayBack Machine down to cruising altitude, now that’s it…just a little bit now…there they are!  Right below these words…oh, and one more thing – Enjoy!
