Arndts (Safe at Home) 7: Waiting on Wedding Photos

[Four is Enough]

as mother of the bride, I wore green, which she picked out.

as mother of the groom, I wore navy, of which the bride approved. Both times, I showed up, sat down, and shut up.

When I married Practice Mr. Four, both our mothers wore nearly the same shade of green, which each had sewn for herself. It was very pretty.

 

I've heard of  many twins called names which begin with the same letter, such as James and Jeffrey, Michael and Mark,  Lucy and Leslie, and so on.

 

Cream filled donuts. Yum.

I swear I know someone who got a sex talk from his dad right before his wedding. Even though he had gone to public school and off to a big college and graduated. He had a pretty normal mainstream life. Yes, they were Christians and went to church. But public school gives sex education pretty young. So I don’t know what this dad thought he had to offer besides awkwardness and discomfort. 

 I remember Addie Morton blogging about her father taking her brothers out to lunch on the eve of their weddings to explain to them "the way of a man with his maiden". I would have thought the first one to marry would have dished the deets to his brothers at some point.

Oh I’m sure the Morton brothers knew but just pretended not to know for their dad’s sake.

From the looks of it even though catie is also bending, she's pretty short

Knee bending for group photos seems to be a "thing" these days, especially among younger females.  I see it in every issue of my local, twice weekly news rag.

I first noticed it years ago. I remember seeing it 15 years ago in group pics of sorority sisters. I’m sure it’s even older than that amongst sororities.

Do we think Jeanne is courting one of the brothers?

Yes, I think it will eventually happen. She’s always with all the Arndt sons and Arndt gals. There are plenty left to choose from. It will happen at some point. But if it somehow fails, she will not be able to date any of the other brothers. I’m sure the Arndts have a bro code.

Was it the paedo Duggar who got a "it's like Lego" talk?

Still can't get over the fact that we can now say the Arndt WOMEN, plural. Who would have thought we'd see the day.

In Germany there are at least four different names for Krapfen. 

Krapfen, Berliner, Pfannkuchen, Kräppel. 

For me it's the Kräppel, and Pfannkuchen is something totally different. It's funny. 

I also say Kräppel. Are you from Südhessen or Rheinhessen? Only a very small part of Germany calls them Kräppel so we must be from the same general area . When I first moved to Berlin, I was so confused that they sold Pfannkuchen (literally: pancakes) at bakeries until I remembered that's what they call jam donuts there.

It looks like the baby will be Anna Arndt.

The penguins will be jealous.

They posted a clip of Wizzy talking about how if she’s on a trip for a week, she comes back and feels like she missed so much while she was gone. And that’s why if she gets married, she wants to live close by. Because she doesn’t want to miss out on anything. 
 

I think it’s going to be interesting watching all the penguins scatter. Sure they will probably all live in the same town. But once they all start having families of their own, they won’t be seeing their siblings every single day. Sorry Wizzy but things are definitely going to change in the next few years. 

[Howl]

I feel oddly comforted that the Arndt's are still as weird as ever.  First, nobody gets married FOR DECADES!  Then, there's this huge rush to the altar with women popping up out of nowhere and mass engagements.  So yes, still insanely weird.

Here is Phillip and Aynur’s wedding website. It says Sept 22 is their date.

Arndt weddings listed for 2024: 

Nathan and Courtney: 7-27-24

Jacob and Joan: 8-24-24

Phillip and Aynur: 9-22-24

So each a month apart for 3 months straight. The penguins will be marching a lot.

Any bets on whether the baby will be going home from the hospital in a penguin onesie?

Oh penguin that thing is ugly. Someone in their circle should crochet them a cute one. Here's another option for when the child is a smidge older; it even includes a bow so you can distinguish that she's a penguinette.
