“Mom, where’s my bow tie?” Ben asked me. “So-So’s getting married and he said I have to wear a tie.”
Emily was changing into her favorite dress in her room and found Ben’s tie in with her necklaces and threw it at him. “Hurry!” Ben shouts to his sister and runs back into his room.
“Who is So-So marrying?” I asked, following him.
“His Lou Lou,” he shrugged casually.
“Who’s Lou Lou?”
“She’s his girlfriend,” he tells me using his “Duh” tone.
“Oh, I see. What does she do?” I asked him, knowing this is going to be good.
“Nothing, she just sleeps in the hamper all day,” he says, pointing at his (overflowing) hamper in his room.
Emily, who is now standing in the doorway listening gives her opinion, “I wouldn’t EVER want to marry someone who sleeps all day.”
Whew! Good to know…

So-So looks about as happy as I was the day I married my first wife.
Now I’m depressed. Even So-So is getting married (even if wifey does sleep in a hamper all day) Well, congrats to the lucky couple just the same. 🙂
And by the way, Suz, you’ve got a smart girl there!
There’s some logic in that marriage. So-So is going to get married to Lou-Lou. What’s more natural ?She sleeps all day ? So what ! : )
Hopefully Lou-Lou isn’t suffering from depression..I get depressed when faced with a “overflowing hamper”.
yes poor old So So doesn’t look so happy. maybe he’s trying to imagine his wedding night…
I’m kinda interested to know if So So has a last name.
The honeymoon destination? I’m guessing it wont be any Disney Theme parks!
These comments are priceless… So-so’s expression hasn’t changed much from getting laid off at Disneyland to getting married. I’m glad I was a bit more enthusiastic on my wedding day. I hope you follow up with this story!
My goodness…they just come up with the cutest things. Where I wonder?????
Where will the honeymoon be???
Sounds like another winning pair made by Match.com.
I just read that first comment and that did me in – as in laughing.
I am loving the tales of So-So. And that picture…are you kidding me?? I love that picture and of course he’s getting married to Lou Lou. That makes perfect sense.
Today I nearly closed the door on Ben’s True. It was a close call.
Congratulations to newlyweds!
I think I love So-So. I’m already married, but I’ll put him as a contender for my next husband 🙂
I stumbled upon your blog in “delightful blogs” and I love it! It’s adorable; I’ll visit again.
Emily sure has her priorities straight!
I love So-So!
Just dying to know where they registered!
I love So-So too. Kinda sad he’s off the market now.
So, So So and Lou Lou are getting married and moving to Hamperville? Luckily this is an imaginary marriage…or is it?
Not so much an “imaginary” marriage, but an “invisible’ one…although, I’m not sure there is much of a difference in this case.
I hope So-So sticks around for awhile – now that he and Lou Lou are married they may decide to move out – I’ll miss him if he goes.
LOL…too, too funny~
send my congratulations to so-so! how exciting for him!
