Of course I shall be updating you on the Kevki front and our accomplishments in the on going battle to tie the knot, BUT right now things are a little up in the air. At this point in we're looking at destination weddings but have yet to hammer down a date, place, or even theme... so until then I have very little to report. Of course the two of us are all too welcome to any suggestions so suggest away! In the mean time you may find entertainment in another blog of mine. I notice some of you have already been creeping around there. <a href="http://randomlustings.blogspot.com/">Random Lustings </a>is a blog about my many obsessions of all things creative and beautiful and of course you'll stumble across a creation or two of my own. Maybe I'll see you there?<div><br /></div><div>Kevin gives his love,</div><div><br /></div><div>xo</div><div><br /></div><div>Kim</div>Kimberly http://www.blogger.com/profile/04534292912662746384noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2367039698180082728.post-42668855608732400572010-09-06T20:05:00.001-07:002010-09-07T09:44:00.987-07:00The TruthDo you want to know the truth? The truth is, all though a lot of you have been sending us messages of encouragement and sympathy, the truth is losing this competition was in the end the best thing that could have happened to the three of us. <div><br /></div><div>The truth is that after meeting with the lovely Carlsberg panel and going over the details of the $100,000 prize wedding that we had been working ourselves to the bone for, in the end wasn't designed for Kevin and I.</div><div><br /></div><div>The truth is the day Kevin and I went to meet the panel to discuss the possibility of being one of the top picks of the competition we almost walked out without signing the agreement forms. Our bubble had been deflated. There were so many details about the wedding that spoke against what we as a couple believe a great wedding to be. But most important of all, we were told that there was a large possibility that Jackson would not be allowed to be party of our special day together. And of course as you may have guessed that was a firm deal breaker. The whole purpose of us getting married at all is the profound and noble gesture of completing and officializing our family. But if we can't do that as a family, as far as we were concerned, it was a moot point and not worth all the money in the world. </div><div><br /></div><div>We were assured that Carlsberg would try to accommodate Jackson into the ceremony if we won the competition. And we told them that we could over look certain details of the wedding if Jackson could be part of it. Because after all, we really just want to get married, but if Jackson couldn't be there with us that day they should consider us "out".</div><div><br /></div><div>The truth is that after that day, regardless of how the panel reassured us that they would do their best to accommodate the winning couple, our hearts were no longer in it. We were not ready to bow down and lose just yet but we were definitely not prepared to fight for it any longer either. So as a result in the last week our efforts to fight dwindled drastically. </div><div><br /></div><div>Winning would have been amazing just the same. But what we came out with instead was something far more amazing then we ever imagined possible. The network of friends that we gained let alone the passion and encouragement from around the globe from friends, to complete strangers was not only encouraging but also completely humbling. That alone was mind blowing and worth all the effort. We thank you so kindly for all your hard work and campaigning on our behalf. We never would have gotten as far as we did without all of you! We were 1% away from winning a $100,000 wedding! <b>1%!</b> So close. But we can honestly say that the team who wanted it the most is the team that will be locking lips with Carlsberg on October 1st! and we will be in the crowd cheering them on.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>Kimberly http://www.blogger.com/profile/04534292912662746384noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2367039698180082728.post-66149028421663308982010-08-31T17:48:00.000-07:002010-08-31T17:57:15.130-07:00OMG!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCT999REriwZ7t6l35bsreIgq8WRglQFLLIJDV2qHgLtDhT5nV9Pu2YzpSYkVtPou_C2Thwq3YJSsf-Z8xj3vbw_yU7kavFEBm7jnfQaVmPglj_S50Wv7RT5FZIyiK0lFDW8B9KTxZ6JE/s1600/Paul+and+Kevin.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCT999REriwZ7t6l35bsreIgq8WRglQFLLIJDV2qHgLtDhT5nV9Pu2YzpSYkVtPou_C2Thwq3YJSsf-Z8xj3vbw_yU7kavFEBm7jnfQaVmPglj_S50Wv7RT5FZIyiK0lFDW8B9KTxZ6JE/s400/Paul+and+Kevin.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5511742546210967618" /></a><br />We're getting down to the wire now. Kevki is down by 2%. I feel a tightness in my chest. Every time Kevin tries to talk to me about it I have to walk out of the room. I can't handle the tension. I should be able to breath right now right? Kevin is on the phone every 2 seconds talking to someone, who was talking to someone, who was texting someone to get votes up. It's getting insane. Everyone say a prayer to "the beer god that is Carlsberg", and when you're done doing that get your entire family, all of their friends, your neighbours and their dogs to <a href="http://www.carlsberg.ca/bigweddingbash/profile/Kevki">VOTE!</a> Before I have a mild coronary and Kevin has a aneurysm.Kimberly http://www.blogger.com/profile/04534292912662746384noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2367039698180082728.post-29482506092567951162010-08-26T21:39:00.000-07:002010-08-26T21:50:49.325-07:00Vote For Kevki or ELSE!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9R-0D2cfhO0P7mip9MwnYMFJwmcDvpVUA8oA9jfOXaoQzCfyVwPILnlTytRcHAnu8qiASEgkdCLniTp5Eqp_Z1bsSNVicVSfCgW2fh9V5x6Z8Jt9u3WK4O58TqyAVEuA_MKZp-Ob3CA8/s1600/Tonya+said+so.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 309px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9R-0D2cfhO0P7mip9MwnYMFJwmcDvpVUA8oA9jfOXaoQzCfyVwPILnlTytRcHAnu8qiASEgkdCLniTp5Eqp_Z1bsSNVicVSfCgW2fh9V5x6Z8Jt9u3WK4O58TqyAVEuA_MKZp-Ob3CA8/s400/Tonya+said+so.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5509947570984371186" /></a><br />We've been really sweet and nice so far about recruiting members for the <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Kevkis-Big-Wedding-Bash/122633407783520">Army Of Kevki </a>and, yes, so far it's worked in our favour.

I think in order to keep my sanity about the entire thing Kevin and I will not log onto the <a href="http://www.carlsberg.ca/bigweddingbash/">Carlsberg Big Wedding Bash</a> site until the end of the night. The constant up and down of that tiny red or green heart is bound to cause an abnormal amount of pressure in ones cranium.<br /><br />But we thought in the mean time you'd all like a little something new from the both of us. So check this out. If team Kevki wins the Carlsberg $100,000 wedding we will have some VERY special wedding crashers:<br /><br /><object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/pKiJ7l3fuW4?fs=1&hl=en_US"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/pKiJ7l3fuW4?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object><br /><br />That's right! That is John-Angus MacDonald of the <span style="font-weight:bold;"><a href="http://www.thetrewsmusic.com/">Trews</a>! </span>Kevin and I love all things Canadian, but we especially love Canadian music! And if these east coast boys show up, this wedding promises to be fanfriggintastic!

My head is likely about to implode. I'm not a competitive person! I don't know where I am getting the energy and the drive to do this. Would you believe me if I told you I spend at least 6 hours a day on the computer promoting the hell out of this competition and Kevki not to mention the other 2-4 hours spent on painting lawns, cars, posters, and just running around. <div><br /></div><div>There are moments when I have to stop myself and think " did I eat today? Was I wearing this t-shirt when I went to bed last night?" Poor Jackson just crawls around my desk chair bringing me objects he locates on the ground that he finds exhilarating. There are days when I start to lose my head over how much time is being taken away from him for this endeavour. And then I watch him playing contently with my paintbrushes as he rams them into the floor register and giggles to himself and realize he's become very self sufficient rather then clingy like he once was and that is a great thing. He makes sure that I take a break every 10 minutes for some - chase the dog with a paintbrush time, of course. </div><div><br /></div><div>I get lovely e-mail pep talks from Kevin after he's come home from a long day at work. And then there are the super fans like Crystal, Tami, and Jylian who harass every poor sap they know and DON'T know in order to get Team Kevki more support. They motivate the exhaustion out of me! If they can spend hours a day campaigning for us without the promise of a prize at the end then I sure as HELL can run myself into the ground for this worthy goal. And then there are of course all the other dedicated and loyal friends and supporters. This whole thing has blown my mind. There are so many people out there that have been solid from day one working on keeping us at #1. Complete strangers e-mail me to tell me the promotional ideas they have for us and what they have been doing to keep us on top. The comradely that has come out of this is worth it alone. That all being said I'm sure you all would like to know what we have been up to.

I haven't posted anything for a little while! You must miss me terribly! I am most terribly sorry for my absence! I know you missed me, lets not be modest here. This is one spot where you can just tell it like it is and not worry about being judged. Well not that anyone will admit anyway. <div><br /></div><div>Ok so you must be wondering what is going on! Well, looks like we are still the most popular as far as public votes go. But don't kid yourselves folks, that doesn't guarantee anything. If Team Youbumchum in 50th place has very few votes but has pimped themselves raw for Carlsberg they could make the top 3! No, I shit you not. Which means Team Kevki has to take it up a notch! OH AND DON'T YOU WORRY your pretty little arses. We've got plenty of stunts up our sleeves. However we will not be foreclosing those details here. Let's not be naive about this folks. All the contenders are spying on each other, looking for ideas, motivation or just outright copying each other. This is a competition after all and from what I can tell there are no refs to rule out foul play. So our stunts shall remain under lock and key until I post the photo evidence here for all to witness. </div><div><br /></div><div>If you'd like to help us out you are invited to join us this Saturday August the 14th in Hess Village to promote Team Kevki.

I found it a little odd when she told me that when she grew up her chosen career path was to be a professional mom. I mean, aren't women now days against that sort of thing? I thought women wanted to get out of the house and have lives out side of just being a mother. Don't get me wrong, I think it's great! Heh, I also think that today's society makes that dream rather difficult to obtain. But despite that scary fact I'm going to do what I can to help her achieve that dream. If any of you would like to help me out I'm not above shamelessly plugging <a href="http://www.lamanespainting.com/">myself here</a>. Ha, it's not for me! It's to make Kim's dream come true. Seriously. Anyways, what was I saying? Oh, right, Kim will not have to be a pregnant bride. </div><div><br /></div><div>Two years ago we kind of decided to start a family. Kim wanted to be married first. I didn't think it was all that important. One thing lead to another and after a year Kim found out she was carrying our first child. Sadly that baby didn't make it to full term but that didn't deter Kim, not for one second. Within a month we were pregnant again and this time we were blessed with our son Jackson (<a href="http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=139179&id=122633407783520&ref=fbx_album">a.k.a. Carl</a>). Of course Kim is a little bit more traditional then I am and wants us all to share the same last name and become an official family. It's a beautiful notion, one that I intend on delivering. But she's not so traditional that she intends on waiting for a wedding before expanding upon our little family. </div><div><br /></div><div>We hope to have another bundle of joy shortly after Jackson's second birthday so that they can be close in age and while we still have the patients that comes with youth. That means Operation Family Expansion will commence in March. That leaves very little time to save, plan, buy a bigger house, find a hall, photographer, videographer, invitations, decorations (if I know Kim decorations will cost more then the hall) honeymoon blah, blah, BLAH!

My fiance Kevin, and I, have entered a contest. If we win this contest we will get a $100,000 wedding this coming October 1st. The contest is the <a href="http://www.carlsberg.ca/bigweddingbash/">Carlsberg Big Wedding Bash</a>. So far we are in first place in terms of votes but votes are only worth 20% of the win. We also need to convince the <a href="http://carlsberg.ca/en">Carlsberg</a> Panel that we are worthy of this prize. Which means we have to get ourselves noticed by the public and get <a href="http://carlsberg.ca/en">Carlsberg</a> as much exposure as possible while proving our undying love for one another and <a href="http://carlsberg.ca/en">Carlsberg</a> Beer.

There is something jaw smacking about a good looking man sporting a plaid skirt. I don't know what it is. Maybe it's the notion that he's not wearing anything under it. I have a very good resource who tells me that is how a real man wears a kilt. Or if it's from watching Brave Heart one too many times. What ever the reason may be I can't wait to walk down an isle toward him, he in his dress and I in mine. </div>Kimberly http://www.blogger.com/profile/04534292912662746384noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2367039698180082728.post-47098326818307167492010-08-01T19:57:00.000-07:002010-08-01T20:52:43.250-07:00Dear Ellen...<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0ecw6CJbYCeJ2vukGqyyAiU_GxKZ1w1_m2AyBDw3RmQUV-H2cCjs3wST52ZZBNxQM2dAP9gFPKHezyZMklir1aXjz883eIXYyjAT6ExTy3P41KQ_fkIt3waXTDwHU47QBmY-R480C_hI/s1600/425.degeneres.ellen.091608.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 296px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0ecw6CJbYCeJ2vukGqyyAiU_GxKZ1w1_m2AyBDw3RmQUV-H2cCjs3wST52ZZBNxQM2dAP9gFPKHezyZMklir1aXjz883eIXYyjAT6ExTy3P41KQ_fkIt3waXTDwHU47QBmY-R480C_hI/s400/425.degeneres.ellen.091608.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5500652843331938722" /></a><br />Late last night while fighting off sleep we took it upon ourselves to enlist in a little help from a greater source.

The most deserving couple wins a $100,000. wedding. Despite the fact that we have wanted to get married for a while now it hasn't worked out for us. We weighed the odds & realized we wanted a family much more then a legal piece of paper. We now have a delightful baby boy named Jackson & it is more apparent then ever that we want to be married to make our family official. My mother vomits in her mouth a little every time I toy with the idea of going to city hall. The Big Wedding Bash would solve all our wedding woes & we could finally be an official family.

Buy a bigger family sized vehicle so that we don't have to leave the babies at home with the dog in order to fit a case of Carlsberg in the car. Awe, just kidding. We wouldn't leave the kids with just the dog. No, no, the cat will be there too. </div><div><br /></div><div>5. Hire some poor schmuck to write out 748 thank you cards because, that's how many people will show up to our wedding. Give or take a few. </div><div><br /></div><div>6.

Kevin keeps telling her it's going to happen. In fact he each time he tells her it's going to happen he follows it up with the word "soon". From what Kim can gather Kevin's version of soon differs greatly from her own. </div><div><br /></div><div>The last time Kim asked "when?" Kevin promptly responded with "the ring is being made" That was a year ago. It would seem that this ring is being created completely from scratch and mining for the stone has not gone to plan. Kim is fairly certain that the mine must have collapsed and all of Kevin's mining efforts to find the perfect stone, a shiny <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/36009088@N03/3557312715">blue sapphire</a>, have been temporarily side tracked due to the rescue efforts of the minors, as well as the reconstruction of the mining site. What else could the hold up be? </div><div><br /></div><div>The time before that Kim decided rather then wait for Kevin she would cleverly coax him into picking up the pace. She decided to send him a wedding invitation to their wedding that was to commence in 10 months, the first weekend in October to be exact. She would pick out the day, the decorations, the minister, do all the leg work and all he had to do was show up. What was the hard part? The hard part it would seem is that Kevin didn't find that very romantic, and as you may have cleverly guessed it did not come to pass.</div><div><br /></div><div>As it turns out, Kevin has had a few too many follies and blunders in his attempts to be romantic and create the perfect situation in which he believes Kim deserves. Of course he refuses to tell her what these mishaps are until he's able to pull it off. What he doesn't seem to understand is that at this point in the game she would joyously say YES if he proposed to her while she was on the can. </div><div><br /></div><div>Then the <a href="http://www.carlsberg.ca/bigweddingbash/">Carlsberg Big Wedding Bash</a> was brought to their attention and all previous desires for a formal and romantic proposal flew out the window. It's full steam ahead now. This wedding IS their wedding. And if they manage to pull it off Kevin will most definitely be out of the "<a href="http://www.doggydreamhomes.com/Home__Styles.htm">dog house</a>".</div><div><br /></div><div>If you'd like to help get Kevin out of the dog house then please be so inclined to drop by the <a href="http://www.carlsberg.ca/bigweddingbash/profile/Kevki">Carlsberg Big Wedding Bas</a>h and vote for Kevki!</div><div><br /></div>Kimberly http://www.blogger.com/profile/04534292912662746384noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2367039698180082728.post-38566505434541612872010-07-28T19:02:00.001-07:002010-07-28T20:30:38.820-07:00A Little Something Something...<span class="Apple-style-span" style=" border-collapse: collapse; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); line-height: 18px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; font-family:'trebuchet ms', verdana, arial, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">So I thought ya'll might like to know a little something about us. I figure if you know us a little better you'd be more inclined to help us win the <a href="http://carlsberg.ca/bigweddingbash/">Big Wedding Bash</a> that <a href="http://carlsberg.ca/en">Carlsberg</a> is hosting. Mighty manipulative of me I know, but it'll only hurt you a little bit.</span></span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" border-collapse: collapse; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); line-height: 18px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; font-family:'trebuchet ms', verdana, arial, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" border-collapse: collapse; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); line-height: 18px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; font-family:'trebuchet ms', verdana, arial, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">So I think it obvious that I couldn't possibly start from the very beginning as there just isn't enough time in a day. So I think it best to start some where in the middle.<br /><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" border-collapse: collapse; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); line-height: 18px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; font-family:'trebuchet ms', verdana, arial, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Kevin and I were introduced to one another by our dear friend Lisa. <a href="http://cougarlife.com/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_term=cougar&utm_content=exact&utm_campaign=older%2Bwomen%2B-%2Bsearch">He was 21. I was 28</a>. However at the time neither of us were interested in being introduced to one another. You see there was just too much of an age difference between us. What was the point in meeting when nothing would come of it in the end? But Lisa saw something that Kevin and I did not, so she persisted.<br /><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" border-collapse: collapse; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); line-height: 18px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; font-family:'trebuchet ms', verdana, arial, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Eventually I became part of Lisa's band of merry friends, Kevin of whom was one of them. So naturally he and I became acquainted with each other over a period of months. I wouldn't say we were friends though. He and I would have small talk here and there but mostly we liked to pick on each other. I loved to watch him though. I thought he was beautiful to look at. I even found myself missing his presence when we were all out together and he was absent.</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" border-collapse: collapse; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); line-height: 18px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; font-family:'trebuchet ms', verdana, arial, sans-serif;font-size:13px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br />One night while we were all out at an </span><a href="http://www.mollybloomslondon.com/low.htm" style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 204); "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Irish</span></a><a href="http://www.mollybloomslondon.com/low.htm" style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 204); "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"> pub</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"> watching a </span><a href="http://www.thekevinmacleanband.com/" style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 204); "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">cover band</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"> and drinking </span><a href="http://carlsberg.ca/en"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Carlsberg</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">, he invited me to join him on a fancy red couch he had been occupying by himself. I sat next to him for the remainder of the evening while we analyzed the couples surrounding us. We would make up stories of how they had met, what they did for a living, and if they would stay together or break up in a fit of jealousy. Shortly after that evening he started to come by to visit me from time to time. We would sit in the living room of my 3rd story apartment and talk all night while sipping on red wine and listening to music. It was almost instant how we became the best of friends.</span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">One cold winters night after one of our many long conversations I fell asleep beside him. While drifting off into a deep slumber I mumbled the words "I love you." Oh crap, oh crap, oh crap! My own words had startled me awake and I cringed at the thought that he may have heard them. Hoping he had also drifted to sleep and not heard my confession I waited, barely breathing, in silence pretending to still be asleep. Much to my embarrassment I realized he was awake as he shifted his weight back and forth in his spot. Too afraid to move I eventually drifted off to sleep again. But he later told me that that was when he realized he loved me too. From that day forth we were inseparable. He was always so good to me back then. He would pick me up from work and have a warm plate of food waiting for me on my seat. He would wash my </span><a href="http://laundry.about.com/od/laundrybasics/ht/howtodolaundry.htm" style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 204); "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">laundry</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"> for me although when he mixed my whites with the darks and discoloured my favourite shirts, I'd have a mild seizure. I came home from work one day and he had repainted my entire apartment. I adored him completely.<br /><br />I've been in love once before I met Kevin but never have I ever loved someone so completely that I could change all the negative things about me in order to be a better person for him. Don't kid yourself though. Change is brutally tedious and I'm certain I aged 2 years just from the stress of trying. I had to learn how to say things like "you might be right", " I don't know", and "please". I may have also given myself an </span><a href="http://www.ehow.com/how_4748994_naturally-cure-ulcers.html" style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 204); "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">ulcer</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"> trying to smile and be tolerable in the mornings. I've never been much of a morning person, but I love him that much.</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">I can't speak for Kevin... or I shouldn't, but he's fast asleep on the couch so it only makes sense that I tell his side of the story. Right. Well he adores me! The sun rises and sets around me. Women ceased to exist once he met me... hahahaha right. Although I think he must adore me. He puts up with testy morning me, and cranky I'm running on 4 hours sleep because, of our 9 month old son, me. And he even humours the, I know everything, me. Not to mention how many times after our son was born, he told the 55 lb heavier version of me how beautiful I was. So even though I likely shouldn't speak for him, I think it fairly safe to say I'm adored. </span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">S</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">o now you know a little bit about us and we want to get married.

So how, you may ask, are we supposed to do that? Well my friends I'd be only too happy to tell you. <div><br /></div><div>You see, Carlsberg is holding a contest called the <a href="http://www.carlsberg.ca/bigweddingbash/">Big Wedding Bash</a>. The couple with the most votes and impresses the Carlsberg Big Wedding Bash panel, wins a $100,000. wedding to be held in Toronto at the <a href="http://www.capitolevents.ca/">Capitol Event Theater</a> on October 1st, 2010. But of course there is a bit of a twist. Of course there is a twist, it is after all a beer company throwing this bash. So at the end of the night everyone and anyone is invited to crash the wedding. So it is to be a major celebration. </div><div><br /></div><div>Kevin and I have until August 2oth to get as many votes as possible and prove to the Big Bash panel that we're the awesomest couple and that to NOT choose us would cause great upset and devastations galore! After that we start all over again with more public votes! So it is to be a popularity contest. Hence the blog.</div><div><br /></div><div>So here we go...</div><div><br /></div><div><a href="http://www.carlsberg.ca/bigweddingbash/profile/Kevki">Vote for us</a> and we'll put you in our wedding party. Actually I'm lying. They'll only accommodate a wedding party of 8 people. But you can take pride in knowing you did a good deed. After all, I've been waiting to get married for 3 years and counting now...</div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" color: rgb(204, 193, 173); line-height: 10px; font-family:'Helvetica Neue', Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10px;"><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; font-size: 1.4em; vertical-align: baseline; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; line-height: 1.4em !important; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; "><br /></p><div><br /></div><div id="additionalsponsors" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; font-size: 10px; vertical-align: baseline; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; "></div></span></div>Kimberly http://www.blogger.com/profile/04534292912662746384noreply@blogger.com0
