Feasting

So I was thinking of making a general invitation to my wedding here on my blog.

Because it’s a holiday weekend and because it’s in Eau Claire, WI (on May 29th) out of over 500 that we have invited some people have told us they can’t make it.

There are also some out there who have simply not replied at all.

So we do have extra seats.

I am thinking of posting their names on this site so that they may be public berated.

Anyways because of the publicity of this blog and the fact that it was formerly the #1 site for news and information on Christie Gibson (I have fallen out of favor with google) I cannot invite you via this outlet.

If you would like to come simply send me an email and I will get you specifics.

This does remind me of a certain biblical passage:

Matthew 22


The Parable of the Wedding Banquet

1Jesus spoke to them again in parables, saying: 2"The kingdom of heaven is like a king who prepared a wedding banquet for his son. 3He sent his servants to those who had been invited to the banquet to tell them to come, but they refused to come.
4"Then he sent some more servants and said, 'Tell those who have been invited that I have prepared my dinner: My oxen and fattened cattle have been butchered, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding banquet.'
5"But they paid no attention and went off--one to his field, another to his business. 6The rest seized his servants, mistreated them and killed them. 7The king was enraged. He sent his army and destroyed those murderers and burned their city.
8"Then he said to his servants, 'The wedding banquet is ready, but those I invited did not deserve to come. 9Go to the street corners and invite to the banquet anyone you find.' 10So the servants went out into the streets and gathered all the people they could find, both good and bad, and the wedding hall was filled with guests.
11"But when the king came in to see the guests, he noticed a man there who was not wearing wedding clothes. 12'Friend,' he asked, 'how did you get in here without wedding clothes?' The man was speechless.
13"Then the king told the attendants, 'Tie him hand and foot, and throw him outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.'
14"For many are invited, but few are chosen."

Thank you for copyrighting that bible passage. Matthew would be pissed that you are using his Gospel to invite people to your wedding without it.

Yeah, if I ever get famous, write or record anything that has any hint of spirituality I am going to give it away at cost because I think that copyrighting God is bad.
