6. Why no engagement ring?

Aaron: We're picky.

Jillinda: Please please please don't make me go ring shopping again! We tried, we really did. We apparently don't like traditional engagement rings. We will have matching wedding bands.

10. Why Ada, Kansas, and where the heck is it?

• The First Baptist Church in Minneapolis is too small.
• Jillinda's parents were married there in 1970…
• …and her sister was married there in 1996.
• What, you need a fourth reason?

As to where Ada is, it's about 10 miles west of Minneapolis. What, you need a map now?

14. Are you having kids and when?

To those of you who wouldn't dream of asking this question, you wouldn't believe how many people have.

To those of you who have, in the most loving way we can say it, we kindly ask that you mind your own business.
