Epilogue - Dangerous Destination Dos

Just as that mysterious Max chap was trying to plan around some undesired scenarios that could potentially unfold at some super-secret, high-end wedding in Mexico, it was advocated by yours truly, posing as some bobo advice columnist, that he put some protective measures in place.

It was all about learning how to "pack" properly, and making sure your special day comes out the way you intended.

Tenerife #18 - What's in your glass?

Perplexed by that ages-old glass that is half-full versus half-empty conundrum?

Decisions, decisions.

It always depends on how you wanna look at stuff, ain’t it? Optimsim and pessimism are just states of mind. Attitude is what counts.

Westport #94 - Whaddup with Whiskey vs. Whisky?

So what is it all about when you see that word spelled both ways, with or without 'e' in there? Supposedly a logic to it all drives that, but it is not always adhered to it seems. Go figure. Kinda like with a lot of things in the world.



As mentioned in the book, it is dependent on where the drink comes from, but many times, in practice, folks just spell it the way they want, based on what part of the world they are from. This includes writers and copy editors alike.

Iceland #71 - Pondering Phallogical Pursuits

So you’re in Iceland for a wedding, and there’s definitely lots to see and do in country, with not nearly enough time to take it all in, especially if you’re a fan of the great outdoors, natural wonders, flora, and fauna.

There are many unique elements to experience, but something cultural to put at the top of everyone's "to do" list here is to check out this very different museum.

Barcelona #62 - Cookin' Cucu in Cugat

So, you find yourself on your way to some outdoor wedding ceremony in Sant Cugat del Vallès outside Barcelona, sitting on a bus (or motor coach if you wanna be fancy pants about it) with other guests.

You’re killing some time in your mind, and wondering about the origins of the place, its name, and what was up with all that trying to get rid of some cat called St. Cucuphas way back in the daze of antiquity.

The place ended up being named after him (initially, it was Castrum Octavianum) because of what happened next.

Amazon Reader on Wedding Chronicles

Super Entertaining Read
12-MAY-14

Bob's adventures in the world of weddings are close to home - for anyone who either is married, been married or contemplating marriage! Beautifully described, with background music to boot, Bob's sometimes offbeat stories, keen wit and fine observations kept me engaged, laughing and sometimes even squirming as I recognized my own experiences in his tellings.

I read the book over a period of time - the stories are individually entertaining and you don't lose the thread as the characters and stories develop. Highly recommended, an easy and entertaining read.

Rating: 5 / 5 *

Amman #52 - A bit about arak

So what was that drink that took out Dr. LoveSexy the night before the wedding in Jordan, and gave him a big hangover the next day?

Arak is a well-known, anise-flavored spirit distilled from grapes that is consumed all over the Middle East.
