Life QotD: Walk Down the Aisle

When you were little, how old did you think you'd be when you got married? Were your predictions accurate?

I don't think I ever had any assumptions about how old I would be when I got married - I wasn't one of those girls that played dress-up and imagined what their wedding would be like. I was the girl in the backyard climbing a tree and beating the boys in races around the jungle gym.

I think it's funny (and perfectly natural) that you expect to do something similar to what your parents did and mimic how you were raised. My mom was 24/25 when she got married, had me when she was 27 and was done having kids before she turned 30. I did always think that I'd be done having kids by the time I was 30. As I got older I assumed I'd probably have my first kid before I'm 30. Now, my answer on the kid topic is "Talk to me after I turn 30" -- going to need to come up with something soon, since that reply will only work for another couple of months. I would like to be done having kids by the time I'm 35-36 -- who knows if that changes down the road.

I doesn't sound like Adam ever made any assumptions about when he would get married - but he did make mention a few months ago about having kids that were 4-5 years apart. I thought that he was nuts, because by the time you get the first one off to kindergarten you are back to square one with kiddie number 2. Adam thought this was completely valid and responded "yeah, how did my mom manage?" -- he had thought about having the kids spaced that far apart because that's how HE grew up.

Pretty cool, huh? This is a photo taken at Adam's brother's wedding. Photographer got lucky at the end of the photo shoot they were doing pre-wedding with the family.

Scott & Jenn's Wedding...

nobody@vox.com(Heike) — Sun, 29 Oct 2006 13:10:23 -0500

I don't have much energy to write today. After the Eagles game, I am heading up to Jersey to enjoy a nice dinner with my dad and do some work that needs to get done before tomorrow. We had a nice time at Scott & Jenn's wedding yesterday, but are exhausted from all the festivities.

Weekend Review...

nobody@vox.com(Heike) — Mon, 23 Oct 2006 10:40:56 -0400

On Friday night we attended the wedding of my good friend Brian. Some of you may remember him as being the one who gave the funny speech at our wedding. Unfortunately, I didn't get the opportunity to speak at his wedding, but I didn't come up with anything witty to say anyway, so it wasn't a big deal.

The second photo is of Brian (on the right) with his brother and sister. We ended up sitting at the "fun table", which included his siblings and some people I went to high school with that Brian has kept in touch with, but I haven't. They were a riot and we both really enjoyed ourselves.

On Saturday, while Adam was at Scott's bachelor party, I enjoyed an evening of dinner and drinks with two of our Philly friends. We had such a nice evening... I am really looking forward to staying put in Philly -- cross

your fingers that everything falls into place!!!

This morning, I woke up for what is hopefully the last time to catch the 5:52am train to NYC -- getting up at 5am is brutal!
