the date is set!

Last week we decided on a place, The Goldengardens Bathhouse. Once we figured out the place then we had to see what dates they had available. I had called early in our quest for a location and knew that getting a summer saturday was going to be rough. So I called the parks department last week and left a few messages. With the holiday last week it took them until this morning to call me back. In the months of May,June, July and August they had one date available. So we snapped it up!
On May 24th, 2008, Mario and I will get hitched!

I started thinking about all the things that now need to be done. Now that we know the date, we actually have to start planning.

Now we can start planning backwards to figure out when things need to be done and start the fun stuff like invitations and making my dress and figuring out all the brides maides dresses and stuff.

Ok just breath in and out… Mario and I love each other very much and we just need to have the party that we want and Enjoy the hell out of it.

mobile interweb to the rescue

So we are on our way to the movie and we discover that the theater we thought our movie at was not playing the movie. Where will we find out where the movie is played? How will we know?… And then i remebered my blackberry in my pocket. A guick google search and we were on our way to the next theater playing the movie.

I love the mobile interweb.

a wrench in the plan

I was never one of those girls that spent a lot of time dreaming of her wedding when I was a little girl. At least I dot remember doing so. It actually wasn’t until maybe after college that I started considering it. And what I realized the last week was that it was a lot easier getting a yes vote for having an Elvis do the marrying and me walking down the isle in something amazing and over the top cool (and cerifiably non-traditional) when the goom was TBD. The idea of anything other than a white dress has been met with a ‘yeah right’. I am happy to report that on many other things though the groom to be and I have been on very much the same page (or at least the same chapter). Negotiations are under way on several points with persuasive power point presentaions on their way.
My mom has always said, “I don’t know how your wedding is going to end up, but I do know its going to be interesting.”. I wish that we could do anmything we wanted without having to convince people that its a good idea. Its our wedding! Let us create the day for ourselves that is equally reflective of both of us and us as a couple and be happy and supportive of anything we say! It’s a dream I know but I can dream it.
Our families love us both, and they have different ways of interacting with this wedding planning thing. I am going to be very excited when we pick a spot and can start making some concrete decisions and giving people more information. Soon. Very soon.
