So my Mom called me tonight to let me know our engagement announcement made into the local paper in my home town back in California. A few things to notice:

- Our engagement announcement and the wedding announcement for my sister and her husband are published in the same paper. All together now - "Awww..."

- They got my major wrong, and I checked the letter I wrote to know that it wasn't my fault. I'm listed as a Mechanical Engineer, when most people know that I studied Electrical, instead.

- You can't see it in the online verson, but in the print version it's clear as day. Apparently both my sister and I submitted photos - they in their wedding garb (dress, veil and a tux for the guy), and us in nice semi-formal clothing (sweaters, basically). The photos are switched... even though it's pretty obvious one is a wedding photo and the other of the engagement variety!

So either I'm marrying my sister, or I'm from Kentucky. Either way you look at it, though, my Mom has the most reason to be pissed - She's going to have friends and neighbors commenting on this for the next two months... at least!

I'll see what I can do about getting a copy of the page scanned and posted, but it may take a while. Mommy has to send it to me first. ;-)
