  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Pictures from yesterday...

We went to scout out reception halls with Kirk and his Mom. This is at Embassy Suites; Mom and I had an appointment with him earlier this week and he told us we could come back and check out the room's wedding reception setup Friday. These couples (two twins are marrying twins!) used balloons for centerpieces but we are probably going to use mirrors and candles.



This is the same room a few weeks ago when I spied on another reception at Embassy Suites... this is what it looks like when they've dimmed the lights.



^Those people didn't mind paying $5 a chair and $20 a table to get special linens. Yikes. No thanks.

Dancefloor...



Where the food goes.




Some people get married in this thing. We are getting married in a church, though.



The moms wanted us to go up there and take a pic.



The moms Kirk's on the left, mine on the right. They are buddies now... they stayed up til after midnight last night chattering.





My church where we're getting married







My church's fellowship hall, another possible place to hold the reception. Pro's -- free. Con's -- Not a lot of space for the number we're inviting, can't have alcohol, can't have music on the whole time because of Saturday services .... But... freeee....





Kirk is sleep deprived...



Holiday Inn... this is one of their rooms but we couldn't see the reception room (it was occupied)... basically it would look pretty much the same except a lot bigger and different setup







Don don don!!!



Kirk standing far away from the fish tank (which had a 2 ft eel in it):
"Do not like".




Kirk's parents...

Melissa - cute as always I love the moms-turned-buddies, that's so awesome (and important for the future!) I also love your church, it's gorgeous. I love the big windows and the roomy feel. I hate churches where the sanctuary has no windows...I like seeing outside.

FNG - cute!! Crafty mommy

Its more funny what her mom and my dad are like. The two of them are both the extroverts in their respective marriages. We went with them several places and all they do is tell eachother stories on and on and on.

They both love to talk.
