		<description>The Imperial March(Darth Vader's Theme) is a great march and VERY appropriate for a bride to march to.  It sets the tone of the marriage and who is in charge.

I'm sure this trend will be catching on soon.</description>

		<description>am i the only one who has an impending sense of a whole lotta bride speak comin' our way? i say, bring it on.

i have visited both indie and knot and find them frighteningly intriquing. i believe i speak for the blog when i say, we're here for you, 24/7, and that patrick, who planned his own wedding and whose wife is still with him (although apparently now estranged from most of her immediate family), in particular is available to inform and guide you and, as the need arises, to talk you off the ledge.

what fun.</description>

		<description>I think there is a difference between obsess and _think_ about food.  

It's kind of like money.  You don't HAVE to pay off your credit cards every month.  Most people DON'T.  But you can make a conscious decision and by simply observing trends and behaviors, not go into debt.  That's not obsessing about money, that's being smart.

Eating is no different.  Anyone who tells you different is either lying or selling you something.</description>

		<description>Why, thank you, Christen! I tried to blog stalk you earlier, but didn't get far enough to find out how exactly it is that you hang out with knotties. I can't get the hang of that website myself. But on Indiebride, where I do occasionally hang out, they make it seem as if the Knot would never accept someone with pink hair. 

Next November. I just bought my dress. I need another bride to commiserate with. Be my friend? ;-) 

Oddly enough, my FH said he didn't care what I wore to the wedding as long as it made my ass look good. Couched in some sort of statement about how a tribal bride wouldn't come to the ceremony without her dowry of goats and other important assets, right? Apparently, I bring booty. 

Ben Stiller involves himself in very funny projects, in which I assume he must have some sort of creative input. He tends ot be the least funny part about said projects, however. But I will concede there must be some funny in there somewhere. Didn't he WRITE Zoolander? That was very funny. He was not so funny in it. 

Whatever. I have conceded I have an odd sense of humor. I got it from my mother, who never liked Peter Sellers, hence I was well into my twenties before I had to worry about the integrity of my innards while watching Strangelove.</description>

		<description>Personally, I prefer to eat real food from all of the food groups, eat only when I'm hungry, stop eating when I'm full, and not go on weird diets anymore because all they make you do is OBSESS ABOUT FOOD.</description>

		<description>Actually, that feeling only lasts for the first two weeks.  And really, the first two weeks is a purge of the system to regain a sugar balance.  It's designed to do that.  

I strongly suspect that he recommends that because it has the same pipe cleaning effect of high colonics.(Robin started down this road, not me.)

You could start on phase two if you really wanted.  It just doesn't have as much of a jump start as the phase 1 approach but it will get you there.  My wife does it that way.


Personally, I just like substituting oatmeal for bread crumbs in my meatloaf.</description>

		<description>Patrick, I'm glad you mentioned the South Beach Diet, because I went on it for one week, and I have never been so constipated in my life (no, nothing is too sensitive for the blog).  It is dangerous and unnatural (in my common-law medical opinion) to cut out whole food groups.  It makes for interesting diet book reading, but in practice it's insane.</description>

		<description>Well, I've never been fat, but I actually enjoy the South Beach Diet cookbook and the original book is an entertaining read before the recipes.

And Diana is so right about Ben Stiller. And I was going to hire her as my party planner/hostess.</description>

		<description>christen, i was not aware that poets got days off--i learn so much on this blog. 

i concur with you that diana is very beautiful (assuming that her pic is not one of a photo-shopped super-model). it made it all the more painful for me to exclude her from my list of potential daughters-in-law. i think however you will agree, i had no choice. beyond that lovely exterior is a fatal flaw--she does not believe ben stiller is funny.  i'm serious.</description>
