Hey, hey, hey~
As we know, growing up, I never imagined my wedding.
Well, there's no day like the present to start imagining.
It's been on the back burner for a couple weeks as my OCD love-muffin dried his last Visine-induced tear, but we're back in business.
The REEN Wedding has suffered enough setbacks.
It's time to dig into those bridal magazines, pull out the checklist, and dust-off Remmi's bridesmaids dresses, cuz we've got The. Most. Soy. Grande. Wedding. Of. All. Time. to plan.
A few things:
1) Below, find archives of the wedding plans to date.
2) Pick a shirt.
Reid said, "I'm indecisive. Let them pick."
http://www.sweetnsourtees.com/teamreidt-shirts.aspx
Scroll down to the middle for your choice of rehearsal dinner attire.
3) Practice, practice, practice.
THIS is how we're TOTALLY coming down the aisle. Totally.
Reid said, "No hula?"
I said, "Honey bear, remember last time?"
He said, "Oh. Right."
I said, "You wanna beat it?"
He said, "C'mere, pretty young thing."

JakeorReid4Me's post that started it all:
ReplyDelete3) Reid gets canned this week, but goes on to become the next bachelor, meets a smart, funny bachelorette named Leen, and they both live happily ever after. (Leen, can you "...be independent but also depend, but, you know, not too much?") Televised wedding in this scenario, too, of course, but even better, because we're all invited to the festivities! Maximum Reid time AND maximum Leen and Reid happiness! I know you've said that you'd never go on the show, but seriously, Leen, would you REALLY turn down the possibility of becoming Mrs. Soy Grande if it were offered to you? A Soy Grande in the hand is worth two medics in the bush, don't you think?
And the Reen Wedding was born:
JOR4Me~
Welll, I mean, if everyone on this thread nominated me to be Reid's love-of-his-life then I dare say I'd defer to your expert opinions. It really wouldn't be that horrific-just slightly awful-to subject myself to Fleiss and 24 googly-eyed gals all for Supreme Hotness's attentions. Do you think it'd totally weird him out that I already have 4 nicknames for him? Oh, wait, I just remembered that he FLIPS out over fondue. With that in mind, he'd put a ring on my finger by date #2.
Which, of course, brings us to the wedding. EVERYONE on this thread's invited. Ladies, you can pick your dresses up from REMMI, ok? Rumor has it she's eager to bedeck anyone with her highly fashionable threads from weddings-gone-by. Remmi, are they circa 1980s styles? Reid and I want an 80s-only wedding. We were discussing our mutual interest to dedicate the wedding to THE LATE, THE GREAT MJ. Wedding favors: a sequins glove. Cocktail party fun: hyperbaric chamber. You'll be younger when you emerge from our union.
Now, to the service, this Irish-Catholic lass--down to the curly auburn locks--welcomes all creeds. So chuppah and hora it is. Glass smashing fits with the Thriller theme anyway.
JOR, you made my life with this idea.
Ladies and Jim, let me know what role you'd like to play in this shin-dig. Everyone DEFS needs a part. Reid wouldn't have it any other way.
Bride to be,
Triple L
M's Ode to Lost Love and our Wedding Song. Sigh:
ReplyDeleteShe was more like a cutie queen from a reality scene
I said don't mind, but what do you mean I am the one
Who will dance on the floor in the round
She said I am the one who will dance on the floor in the round
She told me her name was Jilly Bean, as she filmed a scene
Then every head turned with eyes that dreamed of being the one
Who will dance on the floor in the round
People always told her be careful of what you do
And don't go around breaking bachelors' hearts
Kip's mother always told him be careful who you love
And be careful of what Fleiss does, cause the lie becomes the truth
Jilly Bean is not my lover
She's just a girl who claims that I am the one
But the show is just for fun
She says I am the one, but the show is just for fun
For forty days and forty nights
That Reid was at her side
But who can stand when she's in demand
Fleiss' schemes and plans
cause we danced on the floor in the round
So take my strong advice, just remember to always think twice
(do think twice)
People always told me be careful of what you do
And don't go around breaking bachelorette hearts
She came and stood right by me
Then the smell of sweet perfume
This happened much too soon
She called me to her room
Jilly Bean is not my lover
She's just a girl who claims that I am the one
But the show is just for fun
Jilly Bean is not my lover
She's just a girl who claims that I am the one
But the show is just for fun
The clothes:
ReplyDeleteOk, so, JOR, you're my wedding planner. Good. I'm horrible with such things. All that matters is that Reid smells good, gives me a neck-nuzzle hug, and tells me "Te amo, mi corazon". Oh, and that my fellow Musers hold my flowers and participate in the GREATEST WEDDING EVER.
Another idea, JOR, is to have a dual wedding, Reid & me, Jesse & K. It'll be The. Most. Unique. Wedding. In. Wedding. History. We could also lasso Michael and his twin into the mix for Nash and any other single G-ite.
M, you'll give Musing #10 at the service. Make it good.
Oh, planning this wedding plus the DH tour will certainly compensate for any heartbreak that might fall on us Reidsters come Monday
............................................
Leen, the bridesmaid dresses are all yours. Most from the 90's and a couple from both the 80's and this decade. All could be converted by the right seamstress in to perfect 80's frocks. And speaking of that decade, I recently saw an 80's dance band that did all of their sets in costume from the era and they were fabulous. I'll dig up their name and perhaps they will be an option for the reception
REMMI
..........................................
Leen, of course my wife and I would be honored to come. There aren't too many roles for men to play at a wedding so I guess that leaves best man. I'll brush up on Hebrew for the reading of the scriptures. I imagine that Reid might object (not to mention his family and best friend), but this is the only way to ensure that nothing unseemly happens at the bachelor party. It's one of the sacrifices a man must make for love.
I still have an ultra narrow tie from the Miami Vice era. I can try to find a pastel silk coat to wear over my lavendar T-shirt and a pair of white suede shoes. I can't wait!
Jim
..........................................
Jim~
Just got off the phone with Reid. Green light on being the best man. He said, "I wanna do whatever you wanna do." I said, "I want Miami-Vice Jim. The pix will be OUT.OF.THIS.WORLD."
Actually, Reid also gave me Ed's number (not to become his 392498 girlfriend. Don't worry, Jim. Reid's verrryyy protective of our love. He gets jealous; plus he's already been in competition with Ed for the girl. I told him that this pretty young thing is nuts about him...Ed's...Ed's...I don't even really know what Ed is, but Reid. Oh, Reid's a dreamboat).
But anyway, Reid said that you can borrow Ed's ENTIRE outfit from this upcoming rose ceremony
(See post # 186 on this here link: http://www.fansofrealitytv.com/forums/bachelorette-spoilers-speculation/81375-bachelorette-5-screencaps-only-19.html)
To DIE for, don't you think?
Quick question: Can the Mrs. Jim, please, please, please, wear Madonna's "Like a Virgin" dress? I'm not toooo worried about that wedding dress taking away from my spotlight. I'm wearing the conical brazeere from her Vogue days.
Remmi, you're the best!
Now, does anyone have a fondue pot for the reception?
Triple L
Perhaps you should start Reid off slowly with separate fondue pots and scrubbed vegetables. We don't want to overload the guy in the first five years. Should we book our flights forPhiladelphia or your neck of the woods? Or perhaps the Canadian Rockies?
ReplyDelete~Nadya
The dinner menu for the wedding needs to be planned. I adore your Thai preference, ranking it among my all time favorite foods. Reid and I were chatting about it; he has a question: "Is there any raw meat?"
Please set his sweet mind at ease, maybe even give some suggestions; his little heart had quite a workout this week so be careful not to mention the "F" word.
The bride-to-be is back,
Leen or LAKSOD (Leen, A Known Source of Disruption)
P.S. Nadja, happy anniversery. Your love story heartened me, inspiring me to throw out my tissues today and resume the love fest known as The Reen Wedding
............................................
So, let's talk wedding favors.
ABC is footing the bill, so price is no object. I'm thinking each guest should get a pair of musical Reid-and-Leen-faced bobblehead hula dolls that sing "They say love ... it don't come eeeeeasyyyy..." and a red minivan to put them in. What do you think?

And, of course, the reception and the dancing:
ReplyDeleteAs for the Reen/ Nashichael/Jessidi wedding , have you guys decided whether I'm the head bridesmaid or the triple wedding planner? I'm highly qualified for both posts and will donate my services for 1 neck nuzzle from G1, 1 dance lesson from G2 and 1 case of Napa's finest from G3.
~Remmi
............................................
If Nashy comes a visiting to this thread, here's my message:
SOS Mikey, we need you in Hawaii. Pronto.
~Leen
To K:
Fo shiz! You're in the wedding party! Talk to Jesse today about a deal on wine, ok? And his brother, I want him to be DJ.
............................................
Me K! Me! Michael and I plan to be very happy as we live out the rest of our years together. Do you and Jesse (or possibly Kip now huh?) want to share a table with us at the wedding? It will be a blast. If you decide to go with Jesse, just tell him to wear that vest and not talk. Yes, that should go swimmingly.
Mikey is assisting with the dancing. You know him. Always the kind-hearted helper. He's just a good human really. (For you Leeny).
~Nash

The Hula of It All:
ReplyDeletePapa Jim~
I'll forgo the intellectual discourse of the last three pages --you and K have it under control--to dish about the new biz.
We actually plan on selling said products at one of my life-long dreams, a coffee shop/vegetarian restaurant.
Reid says, "We'll call it Soy Grande Latte for obvious reasons. But also cuz I love you. A latte."
He's too cute, isn't he?
He also said, "Tell Jim to call me. Ed's not budging on lending out his Miami Vice suit, but he knows a good mankini store. Let's talk location wedding."
I said, "Hawaii?!"
He said, "My hips wanna hula."
On a side note, so, defs we're 1) moonwalking and 2) hula dancing at the wedding. FOR.SURE.
Actually, Reid asked to do a hula solo.
I said, "Only if you use a hula hoop and wave an uncooked rutabaga in the air while issuing an elk mating call."
He said, "No to the last two."
I said, "Why?"
He said, "My arms need to be free to hug you."
I said, "How much?"
He said, "This much," and into him, I fell.
Sigh.
Oh,Leen, I love it! You've made my entire weekend, no week, no month!!! I will be there with bells on. I'll volunteer to make the invitations. Shall we get started on the invitaiton list???? We have to invite Wes, Jake, Juan (he really is a nice guy, ya know), Robby and a few of the other really nice guys who are friends of yours.
ReplyDeleteJust let me know when to get started. Have you picked a date yet?
Leen,
ReplyDeleteI will be happy to serve in whatever category you need. I could cater(I will make sure everything is exceptionally scrubbed and cooked well.) I could design the champagne glasses for the toast. Must have much blingage fo shiz! You name it I can do it so count me in for whatever, whenever.
HCM
Melanie
P.S. You might want to do the dollar dance. It could fund the honeymoon. I imagine there are many women who would pay a dollar or more to have a dance with the Supreme Hotness Groom. Think about it.
Oooooh... I LOVE weddings and this one is going to be like no other!
ReplyDeleteTriple, thank you for taking us down that lovely memory lane of wedding planning excitement.
I think we have amassed an excellent group for the wedding party. However, instead of coming down the aisle to Chris Brown, it will be "Thriller", of course.
The one common accessory will not be sunglasses, as we saw in the youtube video, but a single white, spangled glove.
I am torn between the t-shirt that says "Soy Grande" and the one that says "This Much". How clever of Reid's brother to recognize his eminently quotable sibling and to immortalize him in his company t-shirts! Better yet, that part of the proceeds go to a good cause.
Signing off now to go practise my moonwalk.
M.
I'm with ya Marianna.
ReplyDeleteI am torn between "This Much" and "Soy Grande".
So Leeny Lou, I will have to get back to you on that. I want to make the right decision, you see.
Big Day and all.
Hugs,
Nash
Sheri~
ReplyDeleteGood question on the date. Oh, I don't know, Nash, when did the 2nd epi air, the one that birthed The Dark Horse thread? early May-ish?
It'll depend on Remmi's dresses. I mean, we can totally work around strapless or sleeveless. We DO have leather jackets with studs and buckles. Reid DOES love his bedazzler (see Epi 3's shirt).
So, dates, I'm flexi.
Now, M & Nash, *shaking her head* I already have to talk Reid through EVERY decision. EVERY morning, it's him in the mirror, his arm bent like Barbie: "Glasses. No glasses. Glasses. No glasses." Needless to say, we now have an elk stationed in our back yard to give him a sense of comfort through his indecisiveness.
With that, I say, each of you, buy one and then you can swap mid-way through the dinner. Got it? Plus, Tanner Daddy only cares that you're wearing one color. Who knows what it is? ;)
Hot Mama, Hot Mama, Reid wants you to contact his brother, Brett. Brett's got this INSANE idea to make T-shirt invitations. He needs help with a catchy phrase.
I said, "Mel's allllll over this."
Reid said, "How much?"
I said, "Funny, funny, T-shirt Boy. Now 'Wrap It Up'" ;)
So, call me!
Now, about the Dollar Dance. Reid wants to like unwashed vegetables. Really. He told me last night after we read about Jill and Ed. He said, "How can I prove to you that I love you more than beer and condoms?"
I said, "Eat fondue."
He said (after making a rather long face), "Done."
So, to help him, just make him take an unwashed rutabaga out of a grocery bag of other unwashed veggies.
He loves me........that much.
Keep the ideas flowing,
Leen, 1/2 of Reen
Oh, Leen, this whole thread is magnificient!
ReplyDeleteI have been sitting here, laughing to myself so much this morning, hubby must surely be wondering if I've gone barking mad!!
My favourite: 'arm bent like Barbie' -- pure genius!
P.S. I'm told that root vegetables are a treat for elks, just in case Reid rebels and you find yourself with a surfeit of unwashed rutabagas.
M.
I agree I have to admit to reading and re-reading this and howling each time I read it.
ReplyDeleteLeen - our fair Irish lass you are a delight!!!
I LOVE that youtube video of the wedding party dancing down the aisle. SO cool! Leen, I am totally down for anything the Reen wedding will throw at us! LOL
ReplyDeletesummer, spring, or fall-
ReplyDeletewhen should be the date of it?
Reid and Leen's wedding
Last night, Reid and I read through his twitter account after he decided to practice "conditioned response." Actually, he read them to me while I got ready for a party.
I said, "You really needed to write, 'Everyone should Twitter in haiku. From now on. More interesting?'"
He said, "What about it?"
I said, "You'dve gotten more IN-TER-EST-ing responses if you just gave them your home address."
He said, "Tomorrow."
Anyway, he came up with the above haiku all by his little self last night.
Reid also asked me to ask you, "Where should we go on our honeymoon?" And idears?
Haiku it out,
Leen
P.S. K, I'm glad you like the video...cuz you're gonna be doing those movies, Michael Jacksonified, in a year.
I meant "moves" not "movies". Der.
