- Amazing organization. I just received a spreadsheet/timeline with more detail than NASA uses when launching a shuttle. No surprises. I love it.
- The music looks killer, both for the ceremony and the reception. These folks have class. More Nat King Cole, less Billy Cyrus.
- The couple was very clear about what scriptures they wanted and chose great ones. Makes it much easier.
- I just finished my portion of the ceremony and it includes biblical reference to advice from brothers-in-law and one-time use of the phrase 'pan-historic', which I thought was an original term, although having just googled it, I now discover that it's been used before, 2,150,000 times. There is nothing new under the sun, eh?
One thing I don't have is a nifty little black prayer book like the hoity-toity high church types. Usually I use my journal.I just realized I'll need to dig out an old one to tape my notes into. My current Moleskine sports two white stickers on it's black cover. One is a Mac logo, the other is pictured here.
It does not promote confidence in one's wedding officiant.

i don't know... ev requested we sing a song best known by garth brooks - there could be some billy ray yet! hee hee
Nice to have some organization within a wedding.... less chaos more love.
Maybe you can post a "How to plan your wedding 101" Enough IHOPers getting married to benefit from this wisdom. :-)
Joanna - maybe a 1 Day Seminar on Weddings, coupled with a Speed Dating Intensive. Maybe not.
Jeff, thanks for putting me under unsolicited pressure to produce. Regular readers will fill you in that this blog contains sporadic zingers, spaced out greatly by long dronings of minutia.
Jenny - that's shameless. Oh, wait. What if it really is shameless? Of course, that's technically a Billy Joel song....
PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: To all devoted readers of Randy's blog.
You really must go see Jackson's most recent post. Believe me, it's worth a look.
Oh, drat, Randy - I just remembered that you have comment moderation turned on. Well, you know the masses are going to be flocking to see the pictures soon enough anyway. Might as well just get it over with, eh?
Oh, and have fun on vacation, and a nice wedding, yadda, yadda...
At least you goofed the link up.....like that's going to stop people.
Actually, i think bob dylan wrote it... tons of people have covered it though. we might just go all out garth though... how bout the dance? or we could sing the river and you could bring in some "marriage is like a river..." symbolism. that'd be GREAT. :) i say lets give evan and ellen a ceremony they'll NEVER forget. :)
Jenny, Jenny, Jenny....did Caleb tell you that Dylan wrote that? Because if he did, smack him. It was Billy Joel. I can prove it to you. Read the lyrics. They rhyme. Ain't no way Bob Dylan wrote that song.
Have a fantastic time guys!
After reading all the comments, I find myself having to fight being offended -- Billy Ray Cyrus DOES have class -- apparently you've never seen "Doc."
Also, if you had asked, I could have probably bailed you out on the hoity-toity high church parafernalia that you lacked.
Randy, I request you use the BM Bible, as it helps calm me down to look at the sticker and meditate.
Hey dude, I'm concerned that you wrote this post just after completing your portion of the ceremony. I can picture you over on the side of the church in the pew, 17" PowerBook out on your lap, fishing for a wireless connection...
Actually, Shawn, the wedding is next week, but I think I can catch my email during one of those long wedding songs.
