Rhubarb's Rants: Happily Ever After (Part 1)

Once upon a time....a girl bought a boy a six pack of Bud Light after he, his brother Brian, and his dad Ron had plowed snow from the boy and girl's shared driveway. She had contemplated making cookies but in the end, decided she wasn't much of a baker, and went with the Bud Light. The beer was a gesture of gratitude..she sincerely appreciated the removal of all that Michigan Snow, and they had cleared her driveway where it split into two. After the girl gave the beer to the boy...she expected he would come over and offer to drink it with her. But when he didn't promptly appear, she returned to his house and asked him if he planned to come over and offer to drink the beer with her. He insists, however, that he always intended to come over and that the girl had just returned too quickly. But I digress...after a first date on February 14th, 2001 the boy and girl became The Bride and The Groom on a adventure that was, let's say: not atypical of their travel experiences. They were in France on September 11th, 2001; and they watched the Humanitarian Disaster that was Katrina from a hotel room in Barcelona Spain in the Fall of 2005. Drastic changes to plans and "living in the moment" during their travels was almost expected by February 14th, 2010...their wedding day. On February 5th-6th (Friday to Saturday one week before the big event) we got 28" of snow and then we got an additional 24" during the period of the 9th-10th (Tuesday to Wednesday). We ended up paying some neighborhood kids to help us dig out. And, sadly, it appears our super postal system lost the wedding package sent to us by Nicole and Corey. On a side note, this is very sad for the obvious reasons, but also Nicole is one of the best gift givers cause she makes things so it really is sad. But...The Bride and Groom shoveled out and hoped conditions would allow travel and for a sunny day to travel. Here are some pics and a short video of Berry Pebbles and Tito in the snow prior to our departure...
