New Addition
My cousin Melissa had a baby girl today, adding one more Meghan to the family. (The fam has gotten so big that we've had to start recycling names.)
Lest you think I jest. . .
There are 98 people in my immediate family (meaning only my grandparents*, aunts, uncles and cousins). NO extended family.
Interestingly, there is a five-way tie for the most common first name among Dave, Julie, Mary, Meghan, and Pat. There are THREE of each of them!

Now you know why I have no desire to have a traditional wedding ceremony and reception. There's no way I'm gonna feed all those people! They can throw themselves a party at the Fire Hall or something, put a hog on the spit.
I just want to fly away and not tell anyone. No froofy dresses, no stress, just something simple and elegant. Memorable.
