5. 50 goldfish were harmed in the making of this wedding.

10. As my new husband and I were checking into the W Hotel Seattle on our wedding night, who else was checking in too? Well, none other than one of Bones' favorite musicians of all time, Trey Anastasio! The lead guitarist of Phish! And yes, Bones went over and spoke with him for a minute or two, he was very nice... Trey was nice too. Bones' joke: "Forever and ever, July 29th, 2006 will always be remembered as the day I met Trey." Ha frickin' Ha.
