The Glö-Couple (tell us a fun fact about each of you):
Jenny, an epidemiologist (I like to put pepper on my pancakes) &
Alan, a video game designer (He’s also an artist and he gets together with buddies every week for a “Draw Night.”) check out Alan’s virtual sketchbook
Celebration Date & Location:
Sept 30th
Squatters Pubs and Beers Squatters Pubs and Beers
Salt Lake City, UT, USA
Tell us how you got engaged:
Alan surprised me with a book that he’d designed, written and illustrated. It described our four years together and at the end was a paper ring.
What’s the overall ‘feeling’ you were aiming for with your celebration:
We had a casual, intimate and fun celebration with close family and friends. Above all else, it was important that we enjoyed ourselves without getting bogged down with details. We poked a little bit of fun at tradition while still highlighting the importance of our celebration.
Any fun twists on tradition:
I wore a pink dress. Our ceremony included a) a gushing PowerPoint presentation by the groom, b) an exchange of wooden rings, c) a magic wand and d) a participatory chant from the audience to pronounce us married (“mecca lecca hi mecca hiney ho!” – Jambi the genie from Pee-wee’s Playhouse).
My mom made a three-tiered Rice Krispie treat wedding cake, we had video and board games instead of dancing and we gave out boxes of Nerds candy as favors.
What was the inspiration for your Glövite and Glösite design? If you made them yourself, tell us how you did it.
In Alan’s proposal book, I was a bug (his nickname for me) and Alan was a bean (he sketches lots of bean-like characters). We carried this theme over to the Glovites and Glosite and Alan sketched every guest as a bug or bean.
Alan grabbed one of the free website design templates, adjusted the colors and overlaid it with an image of bug and bean characters/guests.
Let’s show off your Glövites and Glösite
Any good planning tips and tricks for the couples who are just starting to plan?
Remember that, whether you go small and casual or big and traditional, the only thing that matters is that you show up and enjoy yourselves.
We’re nerds so we used Excel to track our budget and to-do list. And, of course, the Glosite and Glovites were super helpful.
What was your favorite moment?
My favorite moment was when everyone chanted “mecca lecca hi mecca hiney ho!” three times over to pronounce us married. It was wonderful (and hilarious) to involve our loved ones this way, rather than have them watch quietly.
What’s the biggest “say what?” moment or funny story that’s happened since you started planning?
There was quite a bit of eye-rolling from some family members when they realized they wouldn’t get to eat traditional wedding cake and that a magic wand might make an appearance in the ceremony. In the end they absolutely loved it and they couldn’t have seen us doing it any other way.

I was wondering if you ever thought of changing the layout of your website? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one or two images. Maybe you could space it out better?
With havin so much content and articles do you ever run into any problems of plagorism or copyright infringement? My site has a lot of exclusive content I’ve either authored myself or outsourced but it appears a lot of it is popping it up all over the web without my permission. Do you know any solutions to help protect against content from being ripped off? I’d genuinely appreciate it.
Howdy! I know this is kinda off topic nevertheless I’d figured I’d ask. Would you be interested in trading links or maybe guest writing a blog article or vice-versa? My site goes over a lot of the same subjects as yours and I think we could greatly benefit from each other. If you happen to be interested feel free to send me an e-mail. I look forward to hearing from you! Terrific blog by the way!
Do you mind if I quote a couple of your articles as long as I provide credit and sources back to your webpage? My website is in the exact same area of interest as yours and my users would genuinely benefit from some of the information you present here. Please let me know if this okay with you. Many thanks!
Woah! I’m really digging the template/theme of this site. It’s simple, yet effective. A lot of times it’s very hard to get that “perfect balance” between superb usability and appearance. I must say you have done a excellent job with this. Additionally, the blog loads super fast for me on Internet explorer. Superb Blog!
Howdy fantastic blog! Does running a blog like this take a great deal of work? I have absolutely no expertise in coding but I was hoping to start my own blog in the near future. Anyways, should you have any suggestions or techniques for new blog owners please share. I know this is off subject however I simply needed to ask. Appreciate it!

The US could solve it’s debt problem overnight by simply instituting a one time wealth tax. If you did it across the board, you could do it with a rate of about 4 to5%, one time. If you exempted the first $250k of wealth, it would need to be closer to about 8%. The reality is that most Americans don’t even have $50k of wealth when you subtract their debt. The problem with trying to do such a thing is that it would be far too easy for the wealthy to hide their wealth. They already do it now to avoid capital gains taxes. The complexity would be enormous.

Hi fantastic blog! Does running a blog such as this take a great deal of work? I’ve absolutely no understanding of computer programming but I was hoping to start my own blog in the near future. Anyways, if you have any recommendations or tips for new blog owners please share. I understand this is off subject however I simply wanted to ask. Kudos!
Hello I am so thrilled I found your webpage, I really found you by error, while I was looking on Google for something else, Regardless I am here now and would just like to say thanks for a tremendous post and a all round thrilling blog (I also love the theme/design), I don韙 have time to look over it all at the moment but I have saved it and also added your RSS feeds, so when I have time I will be back to read a lot more, Please do keep up the awesome job.
Have you ever considered about including a little bit more than just your articles? I mean, what you say is valuable and everything. But think of if you added some great graphics or videos to give your posts more, “pop”! Your content is excellent but with images and video clips, this blog could undeniably be one of the best in its field. Very good blog!
Hmm is anyone else encountering problems with the pictures on this blog loading? I’m trying to determine if its a problem on my end or if it’s the blog. Any feed-back would be greatly appreciated.
Throughout the great design of things you’ll get a B- for hard work. Where you actually confused me ended up being in the details. You know, people say, the devil is in the details… And it couldn’t be much more accurate in this article. Having said that, allow me tell you precisely what did deliver the results. Your writing is actually very persuasive and this is possibly the reason why I am making the effort in order to comment. I do not really make it a regular habit of doing that. Secondly, even though I can see a jumps in reason you come up with, I am not confident of how you appear to unite the ideas that help to make your conclusion. For the moment I will, no doubt yield to your position however hope in the foreseeable future you actually connect the dots better.

Great post but I was wondering if you could write a litte more on this subject? I’d be very thankful if you could elaborate a little bit more. Appreciate it!
Hello would you mind stating which blog platform you’re working with? I’m planning to start my own blog in the near future but I’m having a difficult time selecting between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your layout seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something unique. P.S My apologies for getting off-topic but I had to ask!
Throughout the grand scheme of things you’ll get a B- with regard to effort and hard work. Where you actually lost us was in your specifics. You know, people say, details make or break the argument.. And that couldn’t be much more accurate here. Having said that, allow me tell you what did give good results. The writing is actually pretty engaging and this is most likely the reason why I am taking the effort to comment. I do not make it a regular habit of doing that. Next, while I can certainly notice the leaps in reasoning you make, I am not necessarily certain of how you appear to unite your points which help to make the final result. For right now I shall yield to your position however wish in the near future you actually connect the dots much better.
