Merry Christmas!!

Hi All,

Patria and would like to take a moment to wish each and all of you a Merry Christmas!

We're just a week and a half away from the Big Event, and I see that Patria and I have been lazy to make additions to this site (and advertize it!), so that we are so close, we will try to do a better job of blogging.

Final preparations are still underway for the wedding. Today Patria and her mother Vilma are out running errands while I am settling our honeymoon details and doing things for my job at UNT by long distance. Yesterday Patria and I ran around to get me fitted for my tuxedo and find flower vases, then we spent a couple of hours with Patria's Aunt Alma experimenting with flower arrangements. We still have to taste wedding cake samples, choose a music performer for the reception, and some other tasks. I am shielded from most of this busyness, but try to do what I can (it's good to be the groom).

Yesterday I discovered the powers of Veto. Patria exercised the Bridal Veto of my tuxedo choices. I did not know that this power was constitutional until she exercised it. . . so later I assumed the power of the Groom Veto and nixed any discussion of fake flowers for the reception. These newfound powers are amazing! Does this mean I will have Husband Veto power after we are married? Father Veto over my children? Should I be on the lookout for the Wife Veto of my future plans? . . . Only destiny will tell . . .

Ok, more later, from me or Patria. Until then, Merry Christmas!

P.S. I will post a map of Things To Do for Fun in the Condado/San Juan/Greater Puerto Rico areas sometime soon.
