MMMMM! What I would give for

Ruth Anne Maddox — Mon, 18 Aug 2008 14:00:38 -0500

MMMMM! What I would give for that meal right now!

I had a honey/almond/flax seed granola bar about 10 a.m. and I didn't bring lunch today since I couldn't find any leftovers in the fridge that appealed to me and the bread was old so I didn't want to make a sandwich. So far, I haven't gotten hungry or motivated enough to venture out for something to eat.

Quick update: I’m eating

Quick update: I’m eating my lunch right now, and it totally reminds me of my sack lunches in high school. My wife packed it, and it includes a cup of apple sauce, a sandwich, cheese curls, a dessert and a Kool Aid Blast drink. It’s like I’m in elementary school.

But if you don't eat

But if you don't eat anything, you'll get light-headed and risk the possibility of fainting even if that's not something you normally do. I wouldn't suggest eating a huge meal, but a little something in the stomach will keep it from growling and help keep you on your feet.

I don’t think I’ll have

I don’t think I’ll have much of a problem with fainting, it’s the throwing up that worries me. That’s how I deal with heavy amounts of stress – it always has been. I know I won’t be eating much, which adds to my fear of something like my stomach growling during the ceremony, which only adds to the stress. It’s a vicious cycle, really.

Repeat after me: "I will not

Repeat after me: "I will not faint. I will not faint. I will not faint."

Oh, yeah, no vomit, either.

Just take a deep breath, smile and enjoy yourself.

You will survive!!! Enjoy!

You will survive!!! Enjoy! It goes by very
quickly.

Thanks for the good advice.

Thanks for the good advice. I think Molly (my fiancée) has a list already, and she gave me a list of things to do. I’ve been slowly crossing them off as I go, but I should make a list of my own so I don’t forget.

When you are nervous, it is

When you are nervous, it is easy to forget things. Write down a to-do list and check them off when done. It is the only way to go.

When I got married, I had a clipboard with my list on it. For the last few days, the list was divided among my sisters to get it all done. All my fiance' at the time had to do was get his tux, and get to the church on time.

I shared my tasks in a video

I shared my tasks in a video update on the wedding planning. Check it out at: http://www.jordannews.com/news/video-podcast/episode-2-wedding-planner-7....

Why don't you tell us what

Ray Sandey — Wed, 07 May 2008 09:45:10 -0500

Why don't you tell us what is on your list? I am sure us guy readers would gladly give you advice on how to get out of doing these things.

I guess I should be careful what I say since I use my real name...

About the cake... Some of my

About the cake...
Some of my clients, especially families, decide to have "event" photos. One family did a pretty typical family shoot, then we all went inside and the kids build a three layer cake and decorated it. They got very messy!

After the cake, we went into the yard and the kids hosed each other off with water.

All of it was caught on camera!

thanks Brandon, glad you

The lighthouse is my favorite: http://www.jordannews.com/sites/jordannews.com/files/people%2011-10-2006%205-04-52%20PM.JPG. I wouldn't have noticed the blur if you hadn't pointed it out.

A good first wedding shoot, huh? Congrats on the new son-in-law.

It looked like everyone was

Brandon — Wed, 27 Dec 2006 13:17:53 -0600

It looked like everyone was having fun in that wedding. At least in the two wedding parties I’ve been in, that isn’t always the case.

I also really like the picture with the dog. I know that before my cat died I would often just lay with my head right next to him. The picture reminds me of how great that felt.

And the picture with the lighthouse is beautiful. Night pictures are hard to do, especially without a tripod. Quick thinking on the rock!

I won’t comment on every picture, but they’re all pretty great.
