From Will You? to I Do.

I, Drew Lloyd, long-time reader, first-time writer, decided to propose marriage to my patiently waiting girlfriend. This was an excellent decision. Besides committing myself to the perfect woman (Christa, my lobster) for life, I also committed myself to "being involved" in the planning of our wedding. This decision was not as resoundingly brilliant.

From "Will You?" to "I Do." is the tale of how I survived The Knot's checklists, unending service provider sales pitches, being kidnapped by our feline, seemingly hallucinogenic cake tastings, unrelenting parental input, and numerous other obstacles to produce the greatest, merriment-to-dollar-spent, spectacle of love I have ever helped plan.

FYI: Wedding planning is not to be trifled with; Jason Bourne was subjected to less psychological torture and look how he turned out.
