Our wedding website is now fully grown and ready to leave the nest. It has been home schooled in the arts (photos), planning (party RSVP), and etiquette (gift registries). Check it out at http://www.philnick.com/wedding/.

It’s time to set the record straight, so as to preclude any awkward moments over the next 6 months. This may come as a shock to some of you. Some of you have might have heard it discussed openly, maybe at a party or by the water cooler. Some of you probably don’t care, but just so everybody knows, I am not going to buy any more Xbox games until the Xbox 360 comes out.

So, in order to keep me from whining continuously over the next week-and-a-half about when I’m going to get to open a birthday present (my b-day is June 15th), Willa busted this little gem of a gift out and said “Happy Birthday Nick!” and made my frickin’ day!

Things are on full tilt here as the preparations for the wedding bash are in full swing. It has been a little stressful to think of all the things that are going to go into this party. At the height of one of these stressfull episodes, Willa proclaimed to me that this was “The Biggest Party of Our Life!” and that I needed to put as much effort into it as that dubios title implies. But wow, that’s a hard title to live up to. Where do I start?
