Wedding Road Trip Bingo

I miss San Francisco.

There, I said it. I thought maybe I’d make it the entire trip without lamenting the Golden Gate City, but it isn’t so, Joe. As we drive into New York City, which I refer to internally as the Gauntlet portion of our trip (aka most people in the shortest amount of time), my mind turns to the phrases that Chris and I have uttered approximately 425 times on this trip.

To keep things entertaining, I have decided to create a little contest for the 100+ people we have yet to visit. Here’s how it works:

1. Carry a score pad in your pocket when you visit with us. Mark the pad with a tick every time we say or do one of the phrases or actions listed below. If you own an iPhone, make sure to download our Wedding Road Trip Bingo app to play along.*

2. Double points if we say or do any of the things listed below more than twice in one hour.

3. Person with the highest score will receive a special prize once we return home.

4. If we’ve already visited you, you can calculate your score post-visit, but we have the right to challenge your memory.

Phrases:

• “We met in line for the portapotties.”
• “Everyone we’ve seen has been wonderful.”
• “I am so tired of wearing this (road trip tux|road trip dress).”
• “I’m not really a car person, but the Fusion (rocks|is the best car|is amazing).”
• “Chris is taking three weeks vacation and the rest unpaid.”
• “I’m from Michigan- no not Detroit.”
• “We didn’t want to have that one “perfect” day.”
• “We’re not sure anymore if we want (kids|a dog|a house|to get married).”
• “I want to go to Branson.”
• “This is so much cheaper than San Francisco.”
• Any mention of the word “whittling.”
• Any mention of the name “Scott Monty.”

Actions

• Jaime leaves something behind that has to be shipped to the next location.
• Chris comes up with a random bit of obscure trivia.
• Jaime glares at Chris for chewing too loudly.
• Jaime and Chris take everything out of the car to do a complete re-org.
• Jaime tries to explain the green box/purple box car organization system.

Side Note:
*where in the hell do you think I found the time to create a Wedding Road Trip app for the iPhone? Shame on you. Get a pad of paper and a pen and play the old school way.
