So, what's next after the wedding.

Once you have the marriage certificate in hand,

come to my house for a long weekend.

I'll put the two of you to work , preparing 1000 venison jiaozi, then steaming them in my big rig outside,

then I'll help you fill out yer paperwork.

(I can be had for kitchen help)

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !

Rabbit Jiaozi is nice , also. Pork is common, I try to focus on non-common meats.

But I'm in Texas, so is a scoosh easier to get deer and rabbit meat here... I guess if yer coming from Arizona for the great 'fill out yer AOS paperwork party ' that I'm suggesting, please bring 6 kilos of snake meat, or 20 dead snakes.
