Pirates and Pears

Well, the day has finally arrived. I asked Vicki to marry me a few weeks ago, and we will be getting hitched next July. I beat my sister to the punch on this one (I never thought that would happen, but then again you never know).

Some may be wondering, what the heck is with the domain name PiratesandPears.com?

Well in our search for a domain name, we looked for all the sappy domains, like vickiandchris, chrisandvicki, vickiloveschris... it went on and on and they were all taken. We even tried catchesparents.com (catch being the pup), and it turned out that it was open but if any letter was mistyped it would lead to a porn site. So we were left with the task of coming up with something a little more original.

I had always liked the idea tha Vicki is of pirate lineage, I mean, who doesn't like pirates? So I figured that that could have something to do with the name, and then I remembered that there are Bartlett pairs... one thing led to the other and I cam up with piratesandpears.com. It makes perfect sense to me...

So check out our site here!
