happy news to share

[kag]

Jon (jah) and I are getting married September 3rd.

:-)

We've planned a small wedding in Bell Buckle, but will follow up with a rockin', larger soiree in Kville sometime in the Fall for local pals. Hope some of you musician types might be willing to play for this happy event.

Life is good.

Katie

[spinetingler]

I knew that from the minute I saw you guys at the CL Explorers Club show.

[skirob]

Congrats
:D

[kag]

thanks everyone.

i feel extremely lucky and very happy :-)

[jeffx]

so i know we have a few pre-hitched couples, but will this be the first official blab marriage?

[James]

thanks everyone.

i feel extremely lucky and very happy :-)
I have to admit, you two seem to fit. Please don't say you met on the blab, I don't think my heart could stand it.

I am really happy for y'all.

[Headless Geisha]

I hope those match.cohen girls aren't reading this thread! I don't want them to get their hopes up or look out boys, it'll be ON!

[kag]

I have to admit, you two seem to fit. Please don't say you met on the blab, I don't think my heart could stand it.

I am really happy for y'all.

I think it's fair to say we originally met on the Blab ;-)

It's a bit more complicated than that, but basically, that's right.

How about that!?

[JohnnyB]

Yay KAG and Jah! All good things to you both.

I & band will play at your soiree thing, if you want us.

JohnnyB

[Gnaw Parker]

Congrats Katie and Jon!
He cooks too, doesn't he?

[MaryvilleRockWriter]

Kick-ass! Congratulations, both of you!

[Randall]

Wonderful. All the best, etc.
:) :D :cool:

[jah]

Thanks, y'all. Kate & I are excited beyond words. :)

And I hope y'all will be able to congratulate us in person at our Knoxville party.


when we get it planned....

[kag]

I wanted to put this on the wedding invites, but my mother vetoed ;-)

[fluffy]

ROCK ON!!!CONGRATS!

be sure to have Magpies do your wedding cake!

[metulj]

I highly recommend an East Tennessee Pirate Wedding that breaks out in the middle of a keg party in North Knoxville. I've been to one before and I must say it was a damn fine time. Is this the first or second time for JAH? I think second, right?

[dilettantedude]

WOOT!! Gratz to you both!

[Hildegard]

Well, it's about time you made respectable man of him. Congratulations!

[Quince]

Thanks, y'all. Kate & I are excited beyond words. :)

This is great news.

But, um, is she to be called "Kate," now?

[Shinola]

Good stuff. Congratulations.

[Wombat]

Congrats!!!

[Juice Vanguardio]

congrats.

[Raincrow]

I could be wrong, but, I think this calls for a Mexican hat dance.

[shady lane]

matrimony, hooray!

i don't even know you guys, but i still have the overwhelming urge to post: that is truly fabulous. congrats.

[Mykhailo]

Aw, heck yeah. I'm a going to shoot a firework for you two.

Long life, and long love.

[DnB]

Wooty hoot. Congrats, you two. That's just terrific news.

I wish you many, many years of joy and happiness!!!!:) :)

(gee, it took me about 22 years to snag SnM. hee hee.)

[KO]

I'm happy for you both. Cheers!

[James]

Wow, this is fun.

I just know you're going to have a lot of fun together. I'm so happy for you. :)

[myperfectgnome]

I think this is the perfect time to come out of lurkdom! I am so happy for the two of you. Congrats!

[gypsy]

gnomes, so much nicer than trolls.

[lynnpoint]

But ain't ya'll the same person with just different blab personas? I'm confused.

[jah]

But, um, is she to be called "Kate," now?
Well of course.

She is a load bearing wall, after all....

[Hounslow]

they've been posting from the same IP address for months now!

[# 9]

Congratulations to both of you. Health and happiness, may you find.

[Raincrow]

Well of course.

She is a load bearing wall, after all....

All right, Jah, you're already about to get into trouble. Women do NOT like being referred to by architectural and engineering terms. Flying buttresses, clerestories, googies, mansards, hipped roofs, merlons, embrasures, etc. Be very careful throwing around the word "turret."

Hey, wait a minute. Cupolas can be nice. And soffitts. OK, I take it back. You young'uns don't listen to me anyhow.

[Carl Snow]

Congrats!

[kag]

Thanks! Thanks! And more thanks :-)

This is indeed a happy, happy time.

[Gina]

AWESOME!!! I knew there was some kind of a connection on St. Patty's day at the Corner Lounge. When you guys come over Friday we will do a toast!! You are still coming right????

[Daizy]

Yea katie and jah....we all had that feeling!

[kag]

if any of you grrl blabbers wanna see my dress, e-mail me at kagranju@gmail.com and i'll show you via URL....

...or guy blabbers, i guess. don't mean to be sexist in my assumptions as to who might want to take a gander at a wedding dress ;-)

can we get a pic of Jah in it???

[kag]

I'm not allowing him to see **OR** wear my dress before the wedding.

Afterwards, all bets are off.

[gypsy]

whoa. i dunno katie, won't it still be kinda warm for latex in september?

[The Skillet]

Congratulations!
So, kag, are you changing your name to kagh?

[kag]

Nope. Gonna keep my kag designation. I've been writing with this name for years and it would be hard to sell stuff with a name nobody knows, plus I like having the same last name as my children.

When Jon and I have children, I may just have to make up a totally new name altogether ;-)

[shady lane]

can i at least refer to you guys as kah and jah, yah?

[Raincrow]

can i at least refer to you guys as kah and jah, yah?

"Granju & Jah" ... that'd look good on a shingle.

[kag]

can i at least refer to you guys as kah and jah, yah?

absolutely :-)

[jah]

so do we get extra green cube goodness for (kinda) meeting on the blab?

I mean, not that I see them or care or anything....

[gypsy]

i already cubed both of you. probly other people have too. which you'd know if you looked!

[The Skillet]

When Jon and I have children, I may just have to make up a totally new name altogether ;-)

I wondered about that; it will be interesting to see how you solve that dilemma when the time comes. Hyphenation, perhaps? Or, yeah, just make up a totally new name for everybody---something like Granjman or Hicku?

granjah, obviously.

[binR Bishop]

granjah, obviously.

When we got married, the spouse suggested we use Craigerman. I think he was kidding.

Anyhow, having gone through the ridiculous pain of changing my name for my first marriage, and then changing it back after the divorce, I swore I'd never change it again. Fortunately, the spouse thinks it's as silly for women to automatically take their husband's last name as I do, so no problem there.

I do have trouble with my orthopedist, tho. There's one cranky old lady there that gets confused everytime I give her my insurance card. She can't seem to grasp the fact that a married couple might have different last names.

[rikki]

It's a bit more complicated than that, but basically, that's right.


Who says nothing good ever comes of drinking too much liquor?

Congrats, you two!

I might have this night on .wmv format. :)

[lynnpoint]

congrats to you two. now it won't be long before you can consumate your relationship.

[gypsy]

after the counseling sessions with your minister, of course.

It's a beautiful dress-she's going to be a stunning bride.

[kag]

Oh dear lord, I hope not!

Yes, my first "date" with Jon involved Skirob, HiTop (and their radio show)and more tequila than someone my size should consume. We were supposed to end up at Rikki's but never made it there. Poor Jon never had a chance to have so much as a beer that night because he was too busy caring for me.

It wasn't my finest moment.

And Georgia, thanks for your props on the dress. I rather like it as well :-)

That was one hilarious night. I do remember jah blaming rob and I for getting you drunk. Not that was funny! I think he said something like, "What'd you guys do to her?" Priceless!

It's true; those were my exact words.

And the next day, I think I told you not to let her drink again if she came back for another show.

heh.

[TallGirl]

Many congratulations! Glad to see two people find each other and celebrate their love. Blessings to you.

[Lee G]

whoa. i dunno katie, won't it still be kinda warm for latex in september?

With enough powder, she should be alright.

Seriously, congratulations and best wishes. I will toast your nupts from afar.

"Spoonhilda" comes to mind.

Yes. Please let us know this.

[me]

Congratulations to both of you.

[kag]

Thank you! Thanks you so much to everyone :-)

Your warm wishes put a big smile on my face (and I am already pretty darn happy).

When I ended up divorced, with 3 little kids and a seriously smashed up heart a few years ago, I never dared to hope I would end up with someone as good and kind as Jon. The whole thing was quite wonderfully unexpected. And he's a brave fellow, since I am a package deal (me, plus three other human beings. He's amazing with the children, by the way)

Now I am getting sappy, perhaps even being an exhibitionist ;-), but I am very happy.

As for registering, since Jon and I both already did the wedding-thing, I think we will forgo(sp?) the asking-for-gifts route. I was even a bit shy about wearing anything remotely wedding-like for the event.

Send us your happy thoughts and best wishes, if you like. That will mean a lot. And after our small event in Bell Buckle, we really will be planning a Knoxville celebration with music and beer (and John B., I would LOVE if you guys would play!) to which I hope all Knox Blabbers and even out of towners will come.

[spinetingler]

you will have to let us know where you are registered.

Does the Corner Lounge even have a gift registry?

Oh, bullshit. Give us a list. eMusic/iTunes gift certs? Maybe there is something you've needed in the kitchen/livingroom? A shrubbery? Hell, I am good with a shipment from wineaccess.com anyday.

[Quince]

Is there something your many well-wishers can donate to instead? My brother & his 2d wife directed gifts to the Foundation to Keep Venice from Sinking, for example. I myself would love to hand the Skatepark a whack of cash in celebration of your love. That sort of thing.....

[The Skillet]

Oh, come on, kag! Everybody could use new towels. (but I like Quince's idea, too.)

. . . especially since you can't ship wine to Tennessee.

Yea when I saw you two at Blockbuster the other night & you were in the Romance section I thought to myself, wow they sure do look like the romance section kinda couple. Hahaha... ( they weren't really in the romance section)
Congrats. :-) Jason
Oh yea, the Ghosts love to offend people at weddings, so if you need us we will accomadate.

Is it a "Cheerleader" wedding dress?

[Georgia]

Hey! No pom pom jokes allowed!

In that case, I must know your secret. Have had no luck through most channels.

KAG, dont read this post;



yeah exactly. maybe all the blabbers could go in on something?

[fluffy]

. . . especially since you can't ship wine to Tennessee.

legally, anyways.

[Gray]

Late to the thread yet again, but congratulations, Katie and Jon!

(back to the betting window to collect my winnings now.)

[metulj]

In that case, I must know your secret. Have had no luck through most channels.

Have it shipped to me. I get one bottle out of the case, then I send it private to you.

There are certain wine shippers who blatantly disregard the no wine shipping rules as being unconstitutional. Wine Library is notable. I already have my 2005 Bordeauxs ordered, though you can ship wine into my state. Damn straight.

[I.C.U.]

Hootyhoo!!

congrats!

how damn, jump up and down, anything can happen, never underestimate a good blog is that!

which day do i hold for the party?

drop me a line if y'all wanna come to the corner to celebrate. we'd love to host a new beginning.

KAG..screw the worries..pplltthhhhh!..bride it up! Have fun!

Gotta show off the rather perfect engagement ring with which jah surprised me last night. It's an antique sapphire and here are some pics of it I swiped off the jeweler's website.

oh thanks. youve made my wife jealous.

[Georgia]

Kate,
It's gorgeous! Now <that's> a great surprise! Sapphires look so beautiful in platinum and white gold.

I love vintage/estate jewelry...the craftsmanship is wonderful and generally speaking, the cut and quality of the stones are better.

That's a stunner of a ring.

[Wombat]

WOW!!! That REALLY is a pretty ring!

[Quince]

Girl? Is that actual size?

[binR Bishop]

Congrats to you & Jon for having the good taste to with a sapphire ring (written by someone who's been wearing one for the last ten years).

all that, AND a new zach braff movie.

Speaking of Bell Buckle, I was cleaning out some of my boss's old files and ran across a resume of someone who listed Bell Buckle as his home address.
Small world.

[kag]

all that, AND a new zach braff movie.

I hope Zach isn't too busy to make it to the wedding...

[artemis]

how did i not know there was a new zach braff movie?
congrats to you, katie and jon!

After being asked approximately 624 times where we are registered, I have capitulated.

Jon and I are now registered at Target and Home Depot ;-)

[Quince]

Wow. Really like those invitations.

They're just ... y'all.

You must be getting very excited at this point. Kids, too?

[kag]

Thanks EE.

We are all just thrilled.

Sometimes things are clearly meant to be.
