And for the grand finale....the car


After such an exciting, but exhausting day, we got to leave in this. Our new '06 Subaru Legacy. I'm actually not happy about it. Naturally, we could expect our car to be decorated, but one can go too far. Take for example the pudding all over the windows instead of window paint. Do you know how hard pudding is to clean off when it's heated up and baked in the sun and then cooled? It basically becomes like glass. Also, the confetti. Confetti was funny in high school in my piece of junk car that had been through three other teenagers. It was an improvement. But a new car? Not cool. Really not cool when it gets into your seatbelt buckle and ruins it. Not cool when it jams in the center shift and makes it hard to shift. Just really not cool. I didn't appreciate it much.

I have never understood this custom. Why ruin the happiest day of somebody's life by trashing their car???

P.S. I'm sorry that they did that to you. We thought we got away without anything....the joys of friends and brothers.

Okay, yeah the confetti was a bit much on the inside, but the outside...come on it happens to everyone.

Yeah, the outside is to be expected...except the pudding. But the inside?

we're sorry... at least we didn't vaseline the handles.. it could have been much worse... they could have ruined the paint on your car... but that didn't happen so it's ok.. oh and we still have the writing on our car.. you're not the only one.. hehe

thank goodness for us.. we drove Todd's mom's car.. so we don't know if there is anymore on the car... but it was nice to have a much nicer car on the honeymoon rather than our crap car... someday... hopefully soon.. but we'll see how that goes
