Bachelor Party

Here is the first installment of the wedding weekend -- the bachelor party. (Don't worry, this entry is parent and work-friendly.)

The bachelor party was a great time, due to the fine planning of my best man. The day began with a little golf accompanied by a friendly wager,


followed by some great Chinese cuisine (my favorite),


and ended with a limo bus extravaganza. We had 14 guys on the limo bus, which we had from 9 pm - 3 am. We took advantage of all six hours. Here was the result at the end of the night.


(I'm fine in this picture, I just ad-libbed the case for effect!)

If I can get serious for a moment sans the beer case hat, this was one of the best days of my life. Spending the day with 15 of my closest friends (Dad, bro-in-law included), was truly a wonderful feeling. Some came from as close as a half mile, some came from over 2,000 miles away. I think that says it all.

Special thanks to all who came, and a very special thanks to Rob for putting so much thought and planning into making this day unlike any other.

Matt Simpson

Taking a page from Julie's Blog, I decided to create my own Simpson character, to see what I would look like if I was a cartoon character on The Simpsons.

I think they got it right! What do you think?

(Wedding pictures coming soon... we hope!)

Fear Not...

Fear not fellow blogospherians: a wedding post(s) will be coming soon. The pictures are going to be in by Wednesday, and I'll post them thereafter. I'm going to make 4 separate posts, to document the bachelor party, rehearsal dinner, wedding day, and honeymoon.

I feel terrible keeping my fans waiting, but life is hectic but great right now. For now, here is a picture of a giraffe.
