"When was the last time you were at a wedding that had a death defying hike, rogue waves, a luau, ultimate fighting, a presidential candidate and a budding bromance?" asks Papi Chulo. For most of us, the answer is never, but luckily, Papi Chulo and Secret Agent Scotch took the time to Vox all the amazing moments during their unforgettable Hawaiian wedding on 08.08.08 so we could all take part in the festivities.
The story began last February, when Papi Chulo popped the question and Secret Agent Scotch said yes! Since then, they've kept us in the loop about all the details, from the bride's veil to the wedding song to the final To-Do List. And throughout it all, they inspired us with their love for each other. (I'm pretty sure it doesn't get any better than knowing your future husband thinks you are The Perfect Girl.)
It's an amazing love story and we are thrilled they shared it with us. Watch the video of the ceremony and please join us in wishing Papi Chulo and Secret Agent Scotch the fairytale ending they deserve.
And What's a Team Vox Post without New Themes?
Spice up your Vox blog with one of our latest themes (found in the design area under "New") or any of our hundreds of themes. From shopping to sushi, comics to cycling, there's something for everyone.
Can't get enough of the wedding? A few lucky Voxers - Krissy, djchall, and Beau Smith - made the trip to Hawaii to take part in the celebration. Check out their Vox blogs for more pictures and stories.
Congratulations again to Secret Agent Scotch and Papi Chulo! Enjoy the Honeymoon!
What are you most looking forward to in August?
My friend Mahalia's wedding is going to be on the last weekend of August. It's in Texas and I'm excited because I haven't been to Texas. I just hope it will not rain or there won't be any hurricanes going that way. It's an hour from Dallas so I don't really know what kind of weather they get around this time. I just know that it's been in the 100s lately (yikes!).
A recent study suggests that radiation from cell phones may cause cancer; what, if any, cell phone usage precautions will you take in light of this information?

Just keep using the hands free headset even if I'm at home. There really is nothing else you can do.
At Vox, we believe that change is a good thing. After all, you wouldn't wear the same t-shirt day in and day out, so why should your blog have to suffer the same fate? Give your blog a new look with one of our latest themes (found under "New"), or pick from any of our hundreds of themes designed with your passions and personality in mind.
Until then... Enjoy!

Where do you go for advice?
It depends what I need. If its work related, I go and ask the teachers that are more senior to me. I always try to ask someone who knows or has experienced the current issues I want discussed.
If it's something personal, I just pray and read the Bible. It really works.
There is a natural disaster headed your way. You get 4 standard sized canvas grocery totes to fill with valuables and provisions to bring with you to a safe place. What would you put into your 4 bags and why?

- Patches our cat for obvious reasons
- Important papers (passports, insurance, etc.) But we actually have one of those Fire/Water proof boxes where we keep our important stuff. Its heavy but we'll probably try to drag that out too.
- Laptop Computer, external hard disk drives (everything, as in everything would be in there)
- Clothes, Water, some canned goods, or whatever else I can put in there
I am a farmer who raise ducks and cows. The animals have a total of 9 heads and 26 feet. How many ducks and cows do I have?
