Recap: Remnants of Hurricane Ike

Even though our wedding took place over a year and a half after Hurricane Ike hit Galveston, we were still reminded of the hurricane on our wedding day.  I started visiting reception sites on the island just a few months after Ike, and almost every site we visited had water and wind damage.  Everyone assured me they were able to make repairs by the time our wedding rolled around.

Notice the boarded up windows at the Hotel Galvez in the picture above.

Several Galveston attractions like the Railroad Museum were still closed on our wedding weekend.  It was disappointing to not be able to take our extended families to those fun places.

"Ike Water Line" signs can be seen all over the island, especially on the Strand where the water level was over 10 feet.  We came across this one on our little jaunt on the street between the ceremony and the reception.

Stop Your Wedding Website from Showing Up On Google

We've all seen Wedding Crashers and we all have the same fear: some random person out there will stumble across my wedding website, get all the info, and show up at my wedding for free booze and crab cakes. No thank you!

(image source)

If you can upload files to your wedding website's server, you can prevent your site from showing up on Google and other search engines.

In Notepad or some other text editor, create a file called robots.txt with two lines:

User-agent: *
Disallow: /

Upload the file to the top-level directory of your wedding website (wherever your front page is, usually called index.html).

That's all you need to do to prevent your wedding website from showing up in Google search results like ours did!

Verse 1
you wanna be closer

even though its wrong, we both know its wrong
what were feeling is something thats meant to be .yeah its meant to be.

PRE- CHORUS
so shh, shh, stop your talkin'
cause we don't even know what's right.
shh, shh, shh, stop your walkin'
and please, come hold me tight. hold me tight.

CHORUS
Cause our love, our love, our love
is something we can't get rid of
and no matter what we decide to do
i will always be thinking' bout you
And I know, I know, I know
That soon you have to go
And even though you will not be near
I will always be here, my dear.

VERSE2
I wanna be closer
Don't wanna be farther
Just want to know you better then any other

i wanna help you see

You're never off my mind
But do you ever dream of me..

PRECHORUS
