Everything Savage

Wow, so I suppose you can guess that it’s been a while since I blogged last. It’s actually been nearly half a year since my last entry. A lot has happened in the meantime. Tricia and I got married! Everything went so well it’s hard to believe it all went so well.. by far the best day of my life. If you’d like to take a look at some of the pictures you can visit our MySpace Page to see more pictures of the big day.

I would like to thank you to all those who attended, rsvp’ed, and gave gifts/cards. It wouldn’t have been the same without all of your support. If you didn’t take any pizza with you, you missed out.. we ended up with nearly 12 boxes of pizza left over!

For the invites we made little messages in a bottle, which we made and mailed to each person along with custom wine labels to go on the outside of each bottle. Below is a picture of the programs we designed and printed out. The graphic design portion of the labels and programs was a join effort and very tedious.. but worth every moment.

My wife custom designed her gown, and as you can see it’s wonderful! She also designed all of the bride’s maids dresses (and mom’s) custom to each person. She went thru hell and high water getting those things made just right, and it worked out wonderfully. Another hand made item in the wedding was the wedding gifts.. the purple and blue throw’s that we used to decorate each chair. My mother made each one.. and we had tons left over cause people didn’t take them when they left.. which is fine.. we actually have used a few around the house.

I’d go into more detail, but honestly you just had to be there and I think I could write a book about everything that went on. Only advice I would give is if you’re going to plan it yourself, you either have to be very lucky, or plan like crazy.. so give yourself some time. 1-2 months planning won’t cut it. My wife did all the planning and it took almost a year of amazing plans coming together to make it all work perfectly.

Yesterday was her birthday, and we just got back from a b-day dinner with her dad. So if you’re reading this honey,… Happy B-Day and I Love You! I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with you!

Ok, we’re down to less than 1 month now before the big day! We’re both so excited, the anticipation is killing us. There’s nobody else I’d rather spend the rest of my life with than Tricia. If you’re reading this.. I love you, and I always will.

I know everyone else out there just ralphed in their computer chair, but oh well.. we’re sappy, so get over it! Anyways, there has been so much going on lately that it’s hard to know where to begin.

I suppose I’ll start off with www.thinkgeek.com – this website is absolutely amazing. If anyone wants to get me anything, start here first. One of the items on the website is the Driving LED Emoticon.

Another item that we just got from ThinkGeek.Com was the DaysAgo Fridge Timer. It’s great, it shows you how long things have been in the fridge/freezer and without cluttering up the fridge itself. I think they could have made it a little more low-profile, but for the price, who can complain?Below: DaysAgo Fridge Timer in our fridge / and other photos

And the last thing that I’ll write about today is the Glowing Led Faucet from thinkgeek.com / this just speaks for itself. It’s blue when cold, and red when hot.

It was very easy to install, however don’t use this on a faucet that is low to the basin. You’ll need a little extra room to accommodate the device. (compares to the space needed for a pure water filter).

•The LED isn’t variable: Once you hit 89 degrees or greater, the red LED switches on. Before that, its blue. And when your water isn’t running the circuit opens and the light goes off.
•The piece is long, so if you’ve got a shallow sink basin, you’re going to be annoyed.
•It’ll runs an unspecified number of hours with three easily changed small button batteries.
•Comes with two adapters for different faucet sizes.
•That’s not chrome. It’s silverized plastic (the kind that chips). What do you expect for $20?
