- You scour eBay looking for zircon engagement rings. Zircons are forever.
- During the wedding portraits, you keep hearing the words "for scale"
- Who knew REI had a bridal section?
- Altar? I thought you said meet me at the outcrop!
- She asks the musicians to slow down at any interesting unconformities exposed in the Canyon in D
- Your gift registry has its own GSA or AGU session
- Your vows include a promise not to take each other for granite
- You suggest following that up with a promise not to be fault-finders with each other, and she nearly dumps you
- She keeps asking if you've tried licking it
- 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.
And I know there should be something in there about a Brunton, but couldn't quite figure out where. Anyone? Bueller?

This is another busy Wednesday for me as the Geology Dept. at UC Davis will be hosting Dr. Jacob Lowenstern, USGS scientist and director of the Yellowstone Volcano Observatory.
Today was a lot of talking and posters. Talking mostly about all things concerning Taupo and Okataina volcanism in New Zealand. Posters ran the spectrum from learning some nifty new tricks to extract zircon crystals from a crushed rock to what happens to clay when you breathe it into your lungs.
Congratulations Maria and best of luck on this next stage!
I love it. (And, ummm, we did get wedding gifts from REI, and climbed a mountain after the ceremony.)
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?
Congratulations! Can you describe the wedding dress in two letter color codes?
And if you really do want zircon jewelry, I'll be driving past Mud Tank on Tuesday morning...
Congratulations! Have a fabulous honeymoon!
Congratulations, Maria!
Congrats! And you'll probably think of some more good ones while you're away - don't forget to take notes!
Congratulations!!!! Have a great time. Don't forget to step back from all the hubbub for a minute during the whole hoopla and remind yourself how cool this day is.
WOOHOO! Many many congratulations!
Love the list. Teeheehee.
I gotta ask - IS the honeymoon someplace with interesting geology?
She asks the musicians to slow down at any interesting unconformities exposed in the Canyon in D
Groooooan.
Congratulations!
I knew a couple who was talking about specks of meteoritic moissanite for their wedding ring, though I don't remember if they ended up with any.
Congrats!
(Yer present from me is my *not* throwing past-due-date vegetable matter at you due to that "Canyon in D" line...)
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!!!!!
