New poll

The question is, what did you like about the wedding? Or, what did you not like, so that we can change it next time we get married?

Poll results - belated

Yeah, so the poll closed two months ago. It's never too late.

The question was: What's your favorite movie with a wedding in it?

When Harry Met Sally - 1
Much Ado About Nothing - 0
The Philadelphia Story - 1
Kill Bill: Vol. 1 - 1
Other (leave a comment) - 2

What we learned: I'm bad about updating my blog. Go to my Twitter, I'm better when I'm 140 characters at a time.

Poll #5: favorite wedding movie

This is the official wedding movie discussion post.

Personally? Star Wars: A New Hope. At the end? With the big procession, and the big music, and the shiny droids? All the Rebel Alliance in attendance? With the two dudes...wait a sec...

Poll #4 results

The question was: How should we enter for the processional?

Responses: four said the bride enters and the groom waits for her down front. Two said that everyone enters, one by one. Two responded that everyone enters, two by two. And one person thinks we need parachutes.

Seriously? No one else liked the parachute idea?

Here's the thing: I (i.e. your humble and lucky groom) has a maid of honor. That is, my best man is my best woman. (Actually, she hasn't officially been my best woman since I decided to marry Susann, but let's not split hairs here.) Two by two, pairing off the wedding party...yeah. Probably not gonna do that.

In our meeting with our officiant, he recommended against the groom just appearing from nowhere, waiting for his bride. And I can see that; among other things, the ceremony is small enough that a little more pomp and ado would be welcome.

So. Most likely, we'll come down groom and attendants, then bridal attendants, then bride. (My future mother-in-law, when asked where the flower girl would go in relation to the bride: the bride goes last. Important to remember, that.) More details to follow.

Poll #3 results

I'll get better about these, I promise...well, no, I probably won't. But I'll try, seriously.

Anyway. One person thinks the wedding belongs to the bride, groom, and their parents. One person thinks it belongs to the bride, groom, and her mother. Five people think it belongs to the bride and groom. Three people said, "There's a groom?"

Conclusion: I need more people voting in these polls.

New poll should be up as you're reading this. If not, wait five minutes and hit refresh, I'm still working on it.

Poll #2 results (belated)

The question was, "How should the couple leave the reception?"

Fancy car or limo - 0
Horse-drawn carraige - 3
Pedicab - 3
Taxi - 0
On foot, skipping - 3

Conclusion: y'all are silly. I liked the pedicab idea myself, seemed very Austin to me. This is all moot, of course, because we're staying at the same inn where the reception is being held. New poll as soon as I think of one.

Poll #1 results

The question was, "What food would you like at the rehearsal dinner?", and the results are in.

Italian - 1
soul food - 3
fish and chips - 4
Mediterranean - 8
sandwiches - 2

So, that's interesting. I hadn't figured so many gyro fans, but there we are. Now, when we pick an Italian restaurant, even though it was last place, you have to understand that there are several other factors to consider: do they have a room or other space they can set aside, where in town is it, balance the price with how nice of a place it is, among other things. We seriously considered an Irish pub, you should know; that's where the fish and chips idea came in. And it placed second, so it might deserve another look. I dunno, we'll see what happens.

A new poll will go up as soon as I figure one out.

This week's poll: food at the rehearsal dinner

We have a couple ideas, but we thought we'd put it out there for our guests. If you have a better option than what we put up, this post will be the place.
