Hey **Colddude** and **Heloise** , congratulations!

Might I suggest the [Candlelight Wedding Chapel](http://www.insidervlv.com/CandleLightWedding/)? I can tell you from personal experience that it is very nice, as [Kathy and I](http://www.wayman.us/wedding.html) were married there in 2001. They make you feel like you’re the only one being married that day, very nice people there.

And they will convert your wedding video to PAL - hey that’s worth something, isn’t it?

All the best from both of us.

Ric and Kathy

Congratulations to you both. Having seen you guys together in 2001, I’m not at all surprised by this news, only that it took this long!

Congratulations!  
When you settle down for good, will your geography require wooden clogs, or cowboy boots?

Probably clogs, Scylla. Not that they’re mandatory over here. Just on Sundays. But I haven’t told her that yet, so shhhh. 😉

Rico, we’ve already chosen a venue, but yours looks really nice as well. “Our” chapel will even provide a DVD of the whole thing, so it looks like there won’t be a need for a PAL conversion. Thanks for the tips though!

Kyla, I’m surprised too that it took so long. I should have grabbed her and married her on the spot, there and then. Why waste time eh? But, hindsight’s 20/20, and February 29 is the day. 🙂

Congratulations to both of you. Of course, I suspect the real reason **Heloise** is marrying you is so that she can get the much admired and long for Dutch citizenship.😉

May your lives together be filled with much joy and happiness. Now, why don’t we have a rice-throwing smiley?

Coldie, do you remember Montfort? He got married and moved his wife to this side of the ocean, now he is on her side.
