Stuff that is new

1. I signed up for a Tai Chi class that started last weekend. So far I like it. It is good exercise but also relaxing. The class is 8 weeks I think, so it should help me stay centered and not too stressed out as the wedding approaches

4. Both sound like wonderful trips!
5. How does Wii running work?

The Wii Active comes with a leg strap that you put the nunchuck in, and you create a mii sort of thing and it shows you on a track and you just run. Sometimes it'll have you walk first, or at the end for cool down, and you break through a tape at the end like in a race. It tracks your movement and tries to get you to keep an even pace, and it tracks how many calories you've burned, etc. It's not super exciting like running through a jungle or anything, but way better than just running in place in front of the TV.

Oh! So you strap it on and get on a treadmill? That would make a lot more sense - I was trying to figure out how running in place would work.

no, you're pretty much just running in place, but you're watching the tv which makes it look like you're running on a track (or at least, cartoon you is running on a track). I expect you could do it on a treadmill if you wanted as long as you're cords didn't get in the way.
