Mark of Fridays: Easy as 1-2-3!

Last-minute reminders

Well, here we are, one day away from The Big Day - finally! Zero months left. A goose egg. 0. Nada. Nothing. Zip. Zilch. No more monkeys jumping in the bed.
I'm getting married in the morning.
Going to the chapel, and I'm gonna get married.

Who knows what's in store, but we do know this: The most important people in Lynne and Matt's life will be there to watch Matt get the girl of his dreams. What else matters?

Here's some last minute details, in case you forgot. Don't worry, there's no changes, just repeating the basics.

Travel safe - see you there! (And bring your party shoes!)

Two little monkeys jumping in the bed...

And then there were two. (II) (2) (deux) (dos) (**).
Two of a kind.
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
It takes two, baby. It takes two. To make a thing go right.
Tworalooraloora?

Two months? Sixty days until The Big Day? That can't be right, can it?
There are billing cycles longer than two months!
There are wash cycles longer than two months!
There are bicycles longer than two months! Wait, that makes no sense at all.

Hope of everyone is as excited as Lynne and Matt are. The invites are mailed, the music is selected, the programs are being finished, the dresses are in, the cakes will soon be tasted.
All that's left is a hundred little things. But they're little things. No problem-o.

Three little monkeys jumping on the bed...

And then there were three. (3) (III) (+++)(tres)

Three peat.

Three of a kind.

Three's a crowd.

Easy as one, two, three.

Three strikes and you're out. Three musketeers. Three pointer. Three sheets to the wind.

Well, just three months away from The Big Day.

It's really getting really real, isn't it?

Lynne and Matt feel confident because all the big decisions have been made so now it's a matter of filling in a lot of details. They've been lucky because they've had great support from both Mr. and Mrs. Seago and Mr. and Mrs. Hanley - not to mention a ton of friends and family who have offered their advice, knowledge and encouragement.

Ninety days of single life left. Even that feels like too many!

Four little monkeys jumping on the bed

And then there were four (4) (quatro) (****) (IV).

The Final Four.

Four Horseman of the Apocalypse.

Four seasons.

The Fab Four.

Fourth quarter.

Fore!

Four-get me not.

Four corners of the globe.

Four-eign language.

Just four months until The Big Day. Lynne and Matt can't wait to see all of you.

As they get closer to the date, Lynne and Matt are getting more excited about being married. July 12 is going to be an unforgettable, fantastic day with all of you.

Then, July 13 starts an amazing adventure.
Lynne and Matt can't wait!

Five little monkies jumping on the bed

It's the final countdown. Dun-dun-duh. Dun-de-duh-duh. The final countdown.

Hmmm, that song isn't very good.

Well, just five months until The Big Day. Not to sound like a broken record, but do you have a room reservation yet?

So, what's ahead for Lynne and Matt? They've picked a day. They found a church and a reception hall. They even registered for a garbage can.

It's almost done, right?

Except...they still don't have a DJ, or rings, or a marriage license, or a tuxedo. And they haven't looked at health insurance or figured out how they'll move (or when) or booked a honeymoon flight or found the right table favors or addressed any invitations....

But it'll all come together, right?

Right?

Buehler?

Beuhler?

Dun-dun-duh. Dun-de-duh-duh....
