Jim: i am dumb enough to pay $31 for dead mollusks
So, I had this idea to use mussel shells to decorate tables at the wedding reception. I was remembering summers in New England playing on the rocks at the beach and gathering mussel shells. I thought it would be an economical way to incorporate slate blue into the tablescape and so much less cliche than a bunch of white seashells. My assumptions were not exactly correct. There are no mussels in Virginia Beach and I couldn't find a single person selling them on the internet until this recent Ebay listing. The Ward family monitored the auction like hawks and then this afternoon Dad sealed the deal.
Dad has been handling the wedding planning incredibly well, but I think the $31 dead mollusks might have pushed him over the edge. Thanks Dad for dealing (and paying) for this wedding craziness. You're the best.

The real act of marriage takes place in the heart, not in the ballroom or the church or the synagogue. It's a choice you make, not just on your wedding day, but over and over again and that choice is reflected in the way you treat your husband or wife. Kristin and Ryan, God bless both of you as you embark on your new life together.
