I will try not to bore you people with every single tiny detail of our wedding planning. For instance, I won't tell you things such as : the most exciting part of our weekend was finding freaking awesome candle holders on sale at Garden Ridge for 10¢ each. Yeah, stuff like that (we bought 40 of the suckers!!!!) we won't talk about. At all.
However, I did want to share something we're insanely excited about.
Early on we knew that we wanted to find an amazing photographer...someone who has a creative eye and an unusual style. For instance, we want the opposite of whoever took this photo:
Errrrr. No with the bouquets on the train. Just...no.
(I apologize if you have this very photo hanging above your fireplace. Ahem.)
Anyway. So we found the perfect guy. And guess what? He's a blogger, too! Whodathunk?
Everyone, meet Jesse Reich. He's edgy, he's fun, he's awesome. (And he reads my blog now, so I guess I have to say nice things or he'll make me pose for stupid shots like that one up there.) Isn't his work drool-worthy? I think so. I'm drooling as we speak.
Jesse also owns this company. This is going to be one of my favorite things about the reception. We're renting a photobooth for a few hours and letting the guests go wild. They can take as many pictures as they want and take them home with them as favors (the pics will have our name and wedding date on them!) And the coolest thing is, WE get a copy of all their pictures, too!
Can you imagine? Free mojitos paired with a free photobooth? That should cause for YEARS of family embarassment. Woot!
Anyway. I'll shut up now. I'm getting all drooly again.
We've been vrrry vrrry busy in the beginning planning stages of this thing and we've already gotten a lot underway (SO much to tell you people!!!). I just couldn't say anything on this here blog because my brother reads this site sometimes and my family hasn't been told yet. (The ring is being custom-made and I still have 2 weeks before it's done...so we were waiting.)
BUT! The other night, my step mother's step mother (my step-step grandma??) called to congratulate me on the wedding. Uhhmmm...did I mention I hadn't told any of my family? She said my parents told her. GAH!
Sooooo. Huh. Everyone knows, but I didn't know they knew, and they don't know that I know they know.
Wait. What was that?
So yeah. I guess that cat is no longer in that bag. So much for "SURPRISE, DAD!!!" Heh.
So, hi!! I'm going to be Mrs.Tango on June 1, 2008!!!
WELL, who wants to come to a latin nightclub themed wedding? We'll have free mojitos and lots of salsa dancing!
I still go to church with The Boyfriend. At least once during each service I lean over to him and ask a question...or make a comment. Here are a few of my recent ones:
----------------------
Pastor : Some people ask, when tragedy strikes, where is God?
Me : Fishing?
-----------------------
Pastor : Eli heard the Lord call his name, but did not know the Lord's voice, so went to his father, saying, 'I am here, father. Did you call?" And his father said he did not call, to go lie back down. He went back to bed and heard the Lord call his name again, and again went to his father and said, "I am here, father. Did you call?" And his father again said he did not call, to go lie back down. Eli returned to his bed and heard his name called again....
Me : I'm thinking Eli was just schizophrenic.
----------------------
Pastor : The Bible says to be childlike...because to be childlike is to be Godlike.
Me : But what if I'm like a Hindu child?
-----------------------
Pastor : God wants to touch your life in every way.
Me : Heeee. God wants to touch your penis.
-----------------------
Pastor : ...Jesus raised from the dead.
Me : Zombie Jesus wants brains!!!!
-----------------------
And yet he allows me to still be his girlfriend. He must REALLY like me.
