« LOAD DIRECTORY | Main | THINGS I LEARNED AT MY SISTER'S WEDDING »

going to the chapel

lisa and robbie

They met 14 years ago at a Metallica concert and they are still rockin' it old school.

They've been through hell and back together and sometimes they dragged us with them.

I've seen them grow in so many ways. I've seen them smile while they were struggling with life and death situations. I've seen them at their worst and now, 14 years on, I see them at their best.

Love does conquer all.

Today, they will finally walk down the aisle to be joined as husband and wife.

I wish them all the love, success, good health and good luck they deserve.

Here's to staying young while growing old together. I love you, baby sister. Welcome to the family, Rob.

I'll see you all Sunday, hangover permitting.

Nerfherder - Pantera Fans in Love

I bleached my hair just like Vince Neil
Then you made me cut it like James Hetfield
We're gonna put an end to alternative rock
We'll find a way to make the Cranberries stop
We went to Sears for pictures at Christmastime
But they wouldn't let us make the metal sign
No they wouldn't let us make the metal sign

I'll bring the wine you bring the bread and cheese
It's hard to eat when you're headbanging
Makin' out in the middle of the pit
How come Slayer doesn't sing about this
If anything comes between you and me
Then heavy metal heaven, that's where we'll meet
We are Pantera fans in love

What's with these punk rock nerds, they can't even sing
I wish we'd never heard of The Offspring
A candlelit dinner, now we're holding hands
I taught you how to draw your first pentagram
We went miniature golfing but we didn't get far
Because we used the clubs to play air guitar
Oh we used the clubs to play air guitar now

I'll bring the wine you bring the bread and cheese
It's hard to eat when you're headbanging
Makin' out in the middle of the pit
How come Slayer doesn't sing about this
If anything comes between you and me
Then heavy metal heaven, that's where we'll meet
We are Pantera fans in love
We are we are Pantera fans in love

We saw Ozzy on our first date
Our special song is Crazy Train
Makin' out in the middle of the pit
How come Slayer doesn't sing about this
If anything comes between you and me
Then heavy metal heaven, that's where we'll meet
We are Metallica fans
We are Megadeth fans
We are Manowar fans in love
We are Pantera fans in love

Wishing them all the best tomorrow! (And NO RAIN at least 2 hours before the ceremony, during it, and continued clear skies until 2 hours after the reception...)

Happy wedding, come rain or shine!

Congratulations, Lisa and Rob. May your light shine on, and never need new batteries.

Many wishes for a long happy life together!

All the best to the bride and groom -- sorry the weather couldn't be better.

Best Wishes.... good song too. ;)

Congratulations to the bride and groom! I shall bang my head in their honor!

Congrats. May theirs be as happy as mine (and I mean that sincerely!) I hope they had a truly magical wedding day.

LOVE the lyrics..... how 'bout an Mp3?
