Will the Media be there?

I was talking to Dawn Allcot , well, more like I left a message in her thread on tha paintball forum....

Dawn is the editor for RECON magazine and has a thread on the forum asking members to offer up ideas on what should be in up coming issues. I asked if she'd be interested in covering the wedding. She sent me a private message to the affimitive.

I've also contact Action Pursuit Games magazine as well, but no response as of yet. I sent them an email yesterday so I wouldn't be surprised if it takes a few days to a few weeks to hear back from them

Since Special Ops is donating the tuxes and possibly some dress modification I'm calling it a sponsorship. I'm hoping to to contact some other paintball compaines to see if they might be interested in sponsoring us as well. Since media will be there and we have one already it may not be too hard to get tohers to jump on the band wagon. But I'm not hodling my breath.

Next:
You'll notice a couple of items on the right. There's a site meter to show how many peolpe have looked at this blog, there's a countdown clock showing the number of days to the wedding and there's a Paypal button.

Site meter is just for the heck of it. Who knows how popular this thing could be? It would be awesome to get a few thousand hits.

The countdown clock is also for fun but it also let's people know when the wedding is. Should the date/time change so will the clock.

Paypal. Over on the forum several members haev expressed interest in sending us something. As I've stated there "Cash is king". Anything we make in your donations to paypal will go towards paying for the wedding. And we'll need all the help we can get.

Since it's apaintball themed event the cake topper will need to be paintball as well. I know we haven't been looking long but so far it doesn't look like anyone makes a paintball themed topper. We've found several sites that offer to make custom ones starting at $500USD up to $2500.00USD. That could very well take our meger budget of $2400CAD and blow it straight to hell. You can see why we're happy to have the monetary donations and why I'm going to be looking for sponsors.

I've put up a thread on the forum asking if anyone could make a custom topper for us at a reasonable price (or even for free). If anyone reading this thinks they might be able to please let us know. I still need to discuss it with Carrie but I'd like to have a topper where the bride is diving over a bunker and shooting the groom. Think it can be done?

Lastly here are some pics of Carrie and her new ring. Like she said it's not much but I knew she'd like it.


I'm not sure what the smudges are on the side of the ring. I know she was doing the dishes before we tried to scan it. I'm thinking it's just soap scum. She cleaned the ring yesterday
