The hotel will just be for accommodation. We should be in Atascadero from the 14th to the 17th. The following week we'll be back in Burbank.

Maddy's parents have kindly offered their lovely home as the venue for each of the three days. The address is 7100 Graves Creek Rd, Atascadero, CA 93422. Remember these are very nice people, do not compare them to Maddy or especially Gary.
Llama's are incredible, or Emu's. No to Chinchillas, weird little things. (No gifts necessary, your presence is the best present).
That would be amazing. We'll be back in LA from the 17th of April and available to meet. The week before we'll very likely be tied up with Wedding stuff. Maddy and Gary live in Burbank, LA. Near Universal Studios and Warner Brothers. Let us know and we can work this out with you.
California is a beautiful state which has many great things to offer. Studio tours, museums, golden beaches, glorious sunshine, porno shoots, homeless dumpster fires, endless traffic and much more.
1 : a marriage ceremony usually with its accompanying festivities : nuptials. 2 : an act, process, or instance of gaining a US green card or EU passport. 3: outrageous drunkenness and exposing ones genitals in public places.
No, good Catholics don't have sex before marriage. Thankfully Madliene is not Catholic. Sometimes people just go mental. Maybe it's love, who knows, they've gone mental. They've got matching tattoos. Probably cray cray.
Nobody is more surprised than Gary. Even though he lived a quiet life of reflection and abstinence he eventually found true love.
A California summer can be a sweaty hell. The good news is April will be a nice 20 Celsius during the day. Nights will be a little chillier so be prepared to wrap up. In the US they use another temperature measure that no one understands or cares about.
Yes, this is an Irish style wedding so bring your big boy/girl pants.
PROP 65 WARNING: Drinking distilled spirits, beer, coolers, wine and other alcoholic beverages may cause serious hilarity and fun.
Good spot. This is an Irish style wedding so bring your big boy/girl pants.
Comes from the French expression répondez s'il vous plaît, meaning "please respond." So get on with it.
For some unknown reason his parents named him Garrett then proceeded to always call him Gary. He'll answer to Garrett, Gary, Gar, G, asshole, dickhead, gobshite, bollocks, dope and all other bad things he's called. He's a poor sensitive boy.
Whiskey (Irish: Uisce beatha, literally "water of life"), the Irish bringing joy to the world.
Whisky: The poor Scottish copy. They urinate in each bottle to make sure you 'appreciate' it.
That is a Guinness fart, you're welcome!
1. What's the craic? Meanimg: No they are not suggesting drugs...probably, they're asking if you're having fun or what's up.
2. Story horse? Meaning: "What's the story, horse?" — abbreviated as "story horse?" — is how you ask a buddy what's up. Horses may be mentioned generally for some unknown reason.
3. State o'you. Meaning: A popular exclamation used in inner Dublin, "Look at the state o'you!" implies that a person's attire, personal hygiene, intoxication level, or general demeanor is worrisome. This will be useful later in the evenings.
4. Sláinte. Meaning: Literally means “health”; used as a drinking toast. Just keep your pants on.
5. Póg mo thóin! Meaning: "Kiss my arse", yeah you heard me.

Don't panic. It's California, it's not the first time this has happened, this month. Auto erotic games are all the rage now, so that's your initial out. Leave plenty of rope lying about but hide the knives.
Honestly my brain hurts.
A sexual position in which a man lies down and his sexual partner rides on top, facing towards the man's feet. The things you don't know.
