New Man In Town
Part of the Great Purge of 2007 has been eliminating things that remind me of Mr. Pilot. Unfortunately, everything seems to remind me of him (that book I'm only halfway through that once sat in my car while we went on a date, etc.) and so I've been reduced to fixing the obvious things. Like changing our account on The Knot.
As you may recall, dear reader, I had to sign up for a free account with The Knot in order to see one of Jessica's wedding gown options. Before I knew it, they had sucked me into putting in a fiancee name and wedding date. These were NOT optional categories, and so I threw in Mr. Pilot and September 1, 2008 without thinking too much about it. After all, the point was to view the potential wedding dress as quickly as possible, not to start creating a registry of my own.
Obviously, now it seems a little ridiculous to have an account on The Knot with both of our names, and so I've gone back and done what Mr. Pilot suggested when I told him about it: I've changed the groom's name to my Secret Celebrity Husband, Ed Norton. After all, I've loved him for the last ten years, it seems only right to now take it to the next level.
Ed and I will still be getting married on September 1, 2008 (if you change the groom, it seems only fair to keep the date the same). That doesn't give me much time to meet him, woo him, get engaged, plan a wedding, and execute the event.
But I did find time to take the "what kind of couple are you?" quiz. Turns out that Ed and I are: Happy Hipsters.
You prove that adulthood doesn't have to mean being too serious. Think last-minute road trips, one-pot meals that are somehow to die for, and date nights in. You love to entertain without a lot of pretense or labored preparation -- as long as there's enough food and drink, you trust the rest will fall into place. That relaxed vibe rubs off on your guests, who all feel comfortable in your nest. Registering for multipurpose, sure-to-be used pieces will make your life even cozier.
Whew, I am *glad* I figured that out...perhaps I can mention it during our first encounter, when he finds me in the bushes outside of his home.

I forgot to tell you...I work with a girl who went to high school with Ed Norton's sister...your paths are obviously convening.
