Hello all you fellow loungers. For those of you to which the fast spreading information has not yet reached, Genica and I are getting married. After 8.25 years together, hopefully we're not being to hasty or anything.
We're going to go to the courthouse at some point here in the next few months for the actual officials, then we'll have a big party up here for all to enjoy. Once we have more formal plans I'll let you all know.

Huzzah! Huzzah! Huzzah! I am Jack's complete lack of surprise.
It only took us four months to plan the full shindig; a big ol' party in two months is totally do-able. You should get some awesome local Indian place to cater. Not that I'm biased in favor of all-you-can-eat Indian food, or anything... |

In most weddings back in India, they serve food during the ceremony, which is something I've always been a big fan of. See if they can do that.

Well, it's indian food, so it's not burritos, it's Chicken Makhani.
It's not that hard, you just have to make sure the seating's spaced far enough apart so the cocktail waiters/waitresses can get through easily.
Also, this isn't a problem unless it's a 2+ hour wedding, but open bar during the ceremony helps, too.

I, <say your name>, take you, super-baby burrito from La Corneta as my delicious mid-wedding meal.
To eat and to enjoy,
With cheese and guacamole,
sour cream and salsa,
and my choice of meat
from this moment forward
'till structural integrity failure do us part.
Also, congratulations!

From what a coworker of mine told me of her wedding it's an epic affair to have a traditional Indian wedding. No food would equate to guests fainting. Also she told me that talking during the proceedings and such was normal. It's a very different deal that the western deal.

| Why not tie the literal knot? A really huge and insoluble one, you can get all the guests in on it and have a giant knot ceremony. All symbolic and stuff. |

Don't you do something like that in an Indian wedding? You have a necklace and tie special knots on it? I think I remember something like that.

Yeah, you actually tie the bride and groom's garlands together - I think the Japanese or Koreans do something like it too.

Well, the time has come. Genica is just about to Graduate with her PhD so it seems like an appropriate time to get down to business. We've sent out an email to several people as an invite, but I'd like to extend it to you all as well. I'm sure we've forgotten some people (sorry about that) and others I'm too lazy to look up emails for. If you're reading this, consider yourself invited to Genica and Adam's Gradu-wed-a-thon. That's mine, Genica will disavow all knowledge of this newly coined term.
We're going to go to the courthouse on June 5th or so, then we're having a big party on June 7th at my Mom's house in Walnut Creek. If you're interested in coming, shoot me an email (amschwartzberg@gmail.com) and I'll send you the address and directions (since I don't think my Mom wants her tasty personal infos on the intarwebs, plus then we'll know who's coming, which is good)
Here's some tasty info to whet your appetites:
What: Adam and Genica’s marriage, and Genica’s graduation from grad school
When: Sunday, June 7th, from 1pm until 7 pm (Come any time in there that works for you)
Where: Super-secret Bat-location.
What to bring: Yourself, swimsuits if you like (Free! Hot pool party action!), sacks of cash. Expect to spend some time outdoors. No presents, please, but if you’d like to, you can contribute to our vacation/house fund.
