Yes I am getting married next month on the 18th. This is the church wedding as we had the civil wedding in the Judges chambers lat year when my babe got here. It seems the Catholic church takes a long time sometime to allow a Catholic (my babe) to marry a heathen (me). The pastor at the Vietnamese church (St. Martyrs) seemed to not like it and we had to go to one near us for a certain amount of time of her being registered there and showing up before they would even talk to us. It also took forever to even find the church yet alone get my baptism record. Anyway to make it short they gave the OK finally about 6 weeks ago and the once small wedding is turning out to be a tad bigger than I thought.blink.gif

I am puzzled by many things but so far I am out of the loop on details. I was pretty much told to shut up and leave the planning to the experts. I was told also that I can't have another bachelor party but I am wearing her down on that point.good.gif Also not really sure why her family back home has to make or buy her VN dresses for it and bother people we know to bring it here to her as we can get that stuff here.(Not sure why she has to change from the wedding one to another for the party. When I asked she looked at me like I am an idiot)

I plan on getting pics and will post a few here. Guys if I get the OK for the bachelor I will take pics and send by email a few on request.whistling.gif

Congrats...again! :)

The catholic religion can be like that (I'd know!--born & raised). Please post pics... :)

Thanks Lindal and I will post a few. Not sure yet who will take the pics yet as I am the one who usually takes the pics but sure there will be plenty.

Yes I am finding out a lot about the Catholic religion. Definitely not what I am used to with the Methodists. Still found it amusing when I had to be counseled by the priest about woman.blink.gif

Thanks Dai. Was planning more on taking over a water front bar at the boardwalk and then just up the road about a mile go to Lipsticks. Love that Heartbreakers and Lipsticks are in Galveston county and do not follow the stupid laws in Harris county. Why even go to a nice Gentlemans club when the babes have to wear pasties or stand so far away? (3 feet) Houston used to be the place to go out and have some fun back in the day when my father owned a exotic dance bar.kicking.gifkicking.gif
