the fun part

Went over to Leecie's brother's last night ... All three brothers, plus their awesome mom, plus Rolando (old friend) and his daughter were there. Of course, so was fiance Daniel, and Kuma the big slobbery pony-dog. Daniel was playing that card game with Hi'iaka, the one where you lick the card, stick it to your forehead, and make bets with each other. You'd have to LOVE kids to endure this game with one who doesn't understand the rules for as long as he did.

So she showed me the organizer, some dress ideas, and her so-far plans with the hotel - all the while expressing (repeatedly) her pity for me because my wedding is going to be much, much larger than hers. There was a time that the sympathy would have gone in the opposite direction, but as they say, reality bites. So do reception site costs.

Decisions We have made so far:

To get married.

Decisions We still need to make:

Where? When? How? Before whom? By whom?
Food? Drinks? Decor?
How much to spend? What not to bother with?

Decisions I still need to make:

Change my name to ...? (because it used to be just "Change my name?")
Traditional dress or What I Really Want?



Yeah. So far, I've perused David's Bridal and have purchased the planner. And that's it. And that's okay.

P.S. All and sundry are trying to talk me into 2009.

I say go with 2009, anything sooner will just stress the crap out of you, 2008 is just around the corner. ENJOY your first holiday with your new ball and chain. ;-)

And while I said changing your name is a bitch and I'd never do it again, I probably would...
You're screwed no matter how you do it, I say go with your first name and his last. It's simple and you can always blame tradition for it sucking.

remember when phoebe discovered she could change her name to anything she wanted, so she tried out "princess consuela bananahammock"?
