"Goooin' to the Chapel and we're..."
I did not know what to expect coming in to Winona for Thanksgiving. I only expected good food, good times, and a mini EXTREME road trip to Lewiston. I did NOT expect to come back an engaged woman!
"Wait, what?! MJ, the homewrecker, ENGAGED?!"
You betcha! But what good is a wedding story without going back to the beginning? I mean, we're going waaay back.
The magic started on the autumn of 2004 when we met on this dating service. I think it started with a mutual friend. We found each other online. He was the Chief executive of some Latin-American country and I was a conversed a little and exchanged pictures of ourselves to each other. Needless to say, we found each other quite attractive. I remember the first time we met too. It was quite special. He brought three friends from his school and we ate at this great restaurant.
Fast forward another two years and other numerous rendezvous. Fortunately my parents were out of the country and my cousins do not eat turkey otherwise we would not meet again. The dating service and I packed up the service's stuff into my car and hightailed it for Winona. I guess it's some fee, much better than the $15 charge. Money is an object! It was a three-day process but it was well worth the wait. After sleeping 26 hours, endless plates of turkey and trimmings, slipping and sliding around the streets of Winona only to come up empty-handed in the elusive search for a Winona shot glass, and bonding with the dating service it was off to Gabby's for some good times. After all the Cotter alum reacquainted themselves with each other...
He makes me a happy ant!
I even have bridesmaids and a maid-of-honor! I got sick of seeing my friends blog about their wedding plans and offers they put on houses. I wanted to join in on the fun. So...you are cordially invited to OUR wedding on June 14 (weather permitting. Otherwise it's iOff.)

My Latin-American subjects are currently laying prostrate in homage to your beauty for a 10 day long ceremony in your honor! Just wait until the big day! Those exempted from the 10 day worship are currently making boxes upon boxes of Winona-etched shot glasses! I hope you liked the rock! ROCK. Love ya, Fiance!
By the way... that dating service was kinda cute. Yowsa.
