two bugs in a rug: good news minute [forever Prado]

remember this picture perfect pair?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I've realized they're a tough pair to pin.

Have you ever played "Where in the World is Carmen San Diego?"

Meet Carmen & Carmelo...
for reals!

Operation Latest Flame

aliases: Clark Kent & Lois Lane

mission: Track down Jilly's new beau.

investigate.

interrogate.

evaluate.

subjecting the prospect to the most intense levels of BFF scrutiny

{she's ours...

until we decide she's yours.}

.....................................................

That is the official position of the Bureau of Forever Friends.

{No, her father did not hire us.

And yes, we are the final authority on this.}

Do not cross us.

.....................................................

It took weeks for us to track the duo down,

[at a Halloween party no less]

only to learn that time had diluted the BFF endorsement's impact and influence down to diddley and squat.

she was smitten.

And there was not a single thing we could say or do to change her mind.

If we'd needed to, that is.

Lucky for Aaron — he would've passed.

{with flying colors too}

But do note: The BFF doesn't take kindly to those who circumvent our process.

{We'll be cracking down when Tiff's time comes.

Boys — consider yourselves warned.}

Operation Mr. Right

aliases: skimp & stache

mission: Befriend the boyfriend.

You.

will.

learn.

to.

like us.

and love us!

or else...

"If you wanna be her lover,

gotta get wit' her friends.

Make it last forever;

friendship NEVER ends."

.....................................................

never never ever!

sorry Aaron;

i hate to be the one to tell you this,

but you are stuck with us.

I know, I know.

this can't be real...

this can't be happening...

you feel so honored...

etc. etc. etc.

Being welcomed into the real Kardashian family can be a bit overwhelming.

{don't worry, we'll keep you for more than 72 hours—

I mean days.}

.....................................................

side note: Did anyone else think that the lyrics were "naked lasts forever?"

You know you did...
I know you know you did...
and even if you say you didn't I will continue thinking you did.
[I refuse to be ridin' solo in this shameful bandwagon.
And no, this does not explain my naughty blogs/lack of censorship.
That is just a product of who I be peeps—
true story...]

Of course, we met resistance with this phase of the process as well.

Whoever knew nearly-engaged couples could be so elusive?!
{me? Parker?
never...}

Luckily, we liked what we saw on the rare occasions we'd seen it.

they were happy.

And happy friends make for happy days at the BFF.

Operation Mawwage

aliases: Edward & Bella Cullen

{In Bella's pre-vamp days of course...

we tried to tide her over with a witch hat and some botox but she was back to the whole "bite me!" bit about 2 milliseconds after the pic.

Whoever thought early 20-somethings would have such hang-ups with their age?}

mission: Make sure the lovebirds make the wedding.

wedding?!

woo-hoo-hoo!

{the BFF loves weddings...

mostly because the BFF loves real love.

and wedding plans.

and married friends.

and seeing their BFF's finding, finishing, and becoming all of the above!}

Needless to say, the bride and groom didn't need our help.

The happy couple was more than ready to get the {Mr. and Mrs. Prado} show on the road,

riding off into the Rancho San Rafael sunset toward the start of their forever together.

Congratulations

Mr. & Mrs. Aaron Michael Prado!!!

{your wedding was every bit as sweet and perfect as the pair of you}
