So Long Sweet Singleness

The next time I post will be the first time as Mr. Annie Sonnenberg - er Gingrich? Which makes this my last post as "Technically, the Bachelor of the Year" (TBOY) as awarded by several of my friends' wives. Don't read too much into that.

In less than 48 hours, I'll be arriving in Chicago toting a suitcase full of clothes, a grown up suit, a swimsuit, some shoes, more sandals, a Tigers hat, and the shattered memories of eternal singleness and irresponsibility. Just kidding - this year has already proven that I was never meant for that life. We're getting hitched on Saturday, and off to the Caribbean on Sunday - cruising via San Juan P.R. to Curacao, St. Maarten, Aruba and other places I've never spelled before. Hopefully, the only hurricanes we come across are the ones in tall glasses - HUZZAH! It's a joke fest tonight - anyone else hear crickets?

We took some engagement photos a couple months ago in Chicago - the photog's blog has a few of them posted. I, of course, ruined the best one by having my eyes closed. But look at those groovy jeans I was wearing!

I am quite excited to get to it, and get it done, and celebrate with my family and friends. I couldn't invite everyone I would've liked to due to size limitations and the, ahem, large extended family of Sonnenbergs (I love you all!), but I hope to be better about catching up with everyone when I'm back from the sea. Au revoir!
