One month

This is the typical conversation I have about 16 times a day now:

Them: "So, your wedding is getting close now!  Excited?"

Me: "Excited isn't really the word I'd use...."

Them: "Just want to get it over with, eh?"

Me: "Pretty much"

Them: "Are you nervous?"

Me: "Only when I think about it"

Them: "Everything ready to go?"

Me: "Yep, mostly.  Just the little things now like flowers and a liquor license"

Them: "Good.  You have a dress?"

Me: "..... yes"


Really?  Really, really??  Do I have a dress?  I'm getting married in a month and you're asking me if I have a dress yet?  And I'm not just picking on one or two people here - EVERY SINGLE PERSON who asks me about the wedding asks me this question.  Apparently, it's the go-to question of marriages; they can't even help themselves.  Just like you'd ask a 5 year old what he did at school today, or a farmer what he thinks about all this rain, so too you ask a bride if she has her dress yet. 

Ridiculous.  Of course I have a dress.

A more appropriate question would be, "do you have a marriage license yet?"  To which the response would be, "Nope, that's Dave's job."

Not even blog worthy

What if the rapture really did happen yesterday, but none of us were taken?? 

Eh?  Something to consider.... 

:P

Ending

So....  The search for the missing person is over.  It ended yesterday afternoon.  Not the happy ending we were all hoping for, but the ending we were quietly starting to expect.

I have no ties to this woman, never met her, no emotional connection what-so-ever.  But it's still no fun to go home and watch the people I care about, the people who actually knew her, suffering.

But at least it's over, right?  Knowing the outcome, having an ending, is so much better than not knowing.

Strange Days

When your fiance's uncle's common-law spouse (someone you haven't actually met) disappears, what do you do?

Grey County OPP asked for help Friday locating a woman who went missing from the Chatsworth area on Thursday.

Leanne Vaughan, 39, was last seen between noon and 12:30 p.m. on May 12 by a neighbour in the Loucks Lane area of Chatsworth accompanied by a dog, according to an OPP news release.
Her dog was found at the residence and Vaughan was reported missing by family members about 6:30 p.m. thursday.
A search of areas frequented by Vaughan was failed to find her.
Although foul play is not suspected at this time, police are asking anyone with information about Vaughn to call them immediately at 1-888-310-1122 or 519-794-7827, the news release said.
Vaughn is described as white, 5'2" tall and weighing 100 pounds. She has green/blue eyes and shoulder-length dark brown hair with a pony tail. She was last seen wearing a brown hoodie, blue jeans and brown running shoes, the release said.

 It's an incredibly odd feeling.  I'm concerned about the well being of this person, someone I haven't met, someone I wouldn't even recognize if I did happen to run into on the street...  And yet, we're connected.  She has an invitation to my wedding for pete's sake.  Her disappearance is turning the world of my future in-laws upside down.  It's been well over 24 hours now; she could literally be anywhere.  Here's hoping for a happy ending.
