our pam's getting married
Kristin Bauer's getting married!
via true-blood.net
"Guess what guys?! I downloaded a CD on iTunes, fell in love with his classical guitar and his voice, tracked him down and am now marrying him! I am packing for our wedding as I type. Sure it was borderline stalking but a girls gotta do what any decent Vampire would do. Audrey Fisher (True Blood costume designer) found me the perfect wedding dress!
His name is Abri van Straten of the band The Lemmings from South Africa. You can read a bit about him and hear his music on my site or on his site.
As you can see I am a bit gushy right now, I’m just very proud of him and his music and high on wedding.
Thank you all for your support of True Blood, Pam, Billy the elephant…
Your comments and love for the amazing character Pam on the boards are very appreciated! Even if you think I look like Angelina Jolie only heavier. LOL. But I’ll take it! She’s gorgeous and hey, if you’re alive (and love cheese), who isn’t heavier than Angelina?
Thank you and Love,
Kristin Bauer"
There's also a hilarious recount of how they met (and Abri's music) on Kristin's website:
"Yes, that's right folks. I hunted down a man, chained him to my radiator, or coffee machine, and now that the Stockholm syndrome has finally kicked in, he has actually submitted to marriage...to me! AND he even seems thrilled about it. Here's how it all happened:
Once upoon a time way back on Dec 18, 2008, I was watching another romantically unfulfilling year draw to a close as I dragged my body off to my nutritionist's office to get a B-12 shot hoping that it could make up for all else that was lacking in my Holiday cheer. I entered the waiting room and sat down on something with pointy corners and said, "Ouch!"
I pulled a CD out from under my butt and then said, "Who's is this?" The lady next to me chirped, "It's mine! Wanna hear it?!"I was't in the mood but she turned it up anyway."
And THAT is why there is a page on my website and a ring on my finger. At that very moment, that man serenading me through the strange ladies laptop, was sitting on the other side of LA wondering why the hell he was still here when his tour was done and his band, The Lemmings, had all gone back to South Africa.
I went home from my B-12 shot, bought his latest CD "Imperceptible Shift in the Light" on iTunes and for the next three weeks my entire family fell in love with his voice while I plotted a kidnapping. My devious plot centered around an email to the band's manager that ever so subtly name dropped this little tiny show about Vampires that maybe you've heard of and oh, I do have a website...all sorts Hollywood shenanigans that felt painfully obvious and embarrassing but what's a girl to do? I blame his accent. It really isn't fair!!!
To make a long story longer ---
On January 14th, Abri asked me to coffee and I thoroughly enjoyed watching him drink about 17 cups. On the 18th we met again, for 26 cups of coffee this time, and haven't been apart since and I now have an espresso maker in my kitchen that was our first wedding present...yup...I know what you're thinking...
he drinks a lot of coffee......and I tend to exaggerate for comedic effect. But even though I only do green tea, we are very happy.I added this page to give women hope who thought they may die alone with 87 cats but mainly to share his music with you. I'm not as biased as you'd think, I truly fell in love with his music before I ever even conceived of chaining him to my radiator. To hear his side, check out his site: www.AbrivanStraten.com"
