Sorry, but can't help too much. I will provide this nugget, though.

For those of you who didn't read my TR, something very interesting happened between myself and Joel on the cruise. When my wife and I first got onboard we had to make a change to our Palo reservations. We got to speak to our favorite server, Coralia, who informed us that she wouldn't be able to wait on us because she was had been specifically requested for a large wedding party on the night we were dining there. I basically said that stunk, all the while cursing Joel's name because I knew that he was the one she had to wait on, but went on with my life.

So, on Tuesday night we arrive at Palo's, and Coralia pulled some magic for us. Rather than us requesting her, she had requested to serve us. They sat us right outside the conference room in Palo's so she would be able to serve both groups quickly.

Of course, then I get the pleasure of watching Joel's party go into the conference room, which we were sitting maybe 10 feet away from. Dinner proceeded, and Coralia, as usual, did an excellent job with both groups.

During the course of dinner, since I was looking directly at the conference room, I caught little tidbits here and there, but nothing major. They just looked like they were having a good time. We weren't eavesdropping, but Joel has kind of a booming voice which carries very easily.

At one point during dinner, discussion at our table kind of settled down for a few minutes. My in-laws and wife knew the whole story about Joel's wedding, so we had laughed about it a few times. About this time, Joel stood up to make a few announcements or something like that, and I noticed him standing up and passing something around. Coralia is standing now at her server's station, which is located right outside the conference room and just a few feet from us.

Now remember, everyone in Joel's party had been to the wedding that day, correct? They were all enjoying in the basking of that wonderful day. That's when, like a cannon heard by half the people in Palo, Joel announced "What you're looking at are the pictures from when we really got married 10 months ago."

Dead silence from the room. My mother-in-law choked on her food. Coralia dropped the glass she was holding over at the server's stand. I just got and looked into the room. The people in there were in shock. One woman, who I think might have been Joel's mom, looked like she had just eaten her dog. The silence seemed to linger for hours. Finally my father-in-law looked up and summarized everyone's thought by simply stating "Holy S&^%!" I really couldn't tell you how long the shock lasted. Even Coralia was a bit unnerved by it as she later told us she was afraid to go back into the conference room for awhile after that.

That's really all I have to share. Great moment, though.

 

[Tink rules]

Yeah... but we knew it all along!!!

You should have gotten up and told everyone that... that a whole bunch of total strangers from all around the world knew it way before they did!!! & Talked Joel into alot of really good things... (ok... we give him SOME of the credit...)

I'm still waiting to see what the M&M's looked like!
