| Dan and Merrie's wedding was scheduled for July 11th, 2004. Up to July 2nd, everything was in order... there was an engagement party, the band was lined up, the invitations were out: |
 |
 |
| ...we even knew what everyone wanted for dinner... |
 |
| ...but luck was not on our side, and as it turned out, Dan would soon be coming down with history's most ill-timed case of appendicitis. And when he finally emerged from the hospital, a freakin' month later, he was not exactly looking great, and he was in no shape for a wedding: |
 |
| And so the wedding would have to wait until December 19th, when Dan was back to 100%. There's a certain charm to a winter wedding anyway, right? A revised invitation went out once everyone was composed and ready to start planning again... |
