- She asks you to rub it against your teeth
- You honeymoon in Hawai'i without ever seeing the beach... because you are at the active flows or the summit caldera the whole time.
I'm getting hitched today. Comment moderation will be nonexistent for the next week - the honeymoon is sadly not in Hawai'i, but it is far away from the Internets.

Congratulations!
And nothing about hammers? Congratulations!
The first time I got married, we got a massive gift certificate to REI as a group gift. Of course it has a bridal section. ;)
Congrats! I was thrilled to find out REI had a bridal registry! We got alot of good stuff from there! And most of our honeymoon pictures are of rocks with only on or the other of us in there for scale ;)
Congrats!
Many congratulations!
Congrats! Did you measure the strike and dip of your wedding cake layers?

Congrats!

Congratulations!
That Canyon in D pun is terrible, but not nearly as bad as the one this song was written around...
Congratulations!!! :)
Congratulations! Of course REI has a bridal section!
Congrats! I just got married myself. And, the photographer did get a picture of me examining the limestone rock we were standing in front of in one shot. What can I say... rocks are cool.
Hooray for dorky weddings! ^_^
Seriously, congrats. :-D
Aww, congratulations! And good luck with the job hunt. What you need is another 10X magnifier. No one has enough of those.
Its rather late in the day Maria, but many congratulations.
Your/this link was sent by one of our bloggers on www.geolgyrocks.co.uk who is marrying another blogger - Ben and found it. Great stuff. I thought it was hilarious, but only to a limited audience isn't it. Only the really intellegent nutty ones!!!!!
