Hey, HEY! Let’s not waste ALL of your attention on the disgruntled poster worker (ahem), Mr. Moderator Man. You could at least wish us well and give us advice on what clogs go best with Big Sur weddings.

I mean, really, if you’re gonna poke yer head into this thread…

Damn Dutch. 😉

I’ll make up for **Coldfire** and say congratulations on behalf of Dutch people everywhere. We’re a party people, really. He must have been too distracted by the ruffians.

::blinks:: where…where am I?  
OK, let me say congrats from all the Americans with Dutch heritage. I maintain that I am still Dutch. My maiden name has lots of vowels in a row. And I know how to pronounce all the Vander names. We are slowly taking over the world.

Wooden shoe rather be Dutch?😉

We tried taking over the world a few centuries ago. Right on track, too, until some airhead traded Manhattan for Suriname. :smack:

Anyways, how rude of me, indeed. 🙂

Congrats, guys! May your marriage be long and happy.
