Wedding wedding wedding. Between the wedding and work, I have an approximately two-track mind. I can just tell that once I have kids, I’m going to be one of those parents who won’t shut up about them, because I’ll be under the impression that they’re much more interesting than they really are.
But, you know, you’re free to close your browser window at any time, so I’ll just keep blathering on about my current interests, work and the wedding.
We had a session with my uncle Jerry, who is a pastor and our officiant, last night. It went well! He liked the general sketch-out of the ceremony that I’d put together. I think it’s going to be a nice combination of traditional and unique. Denny wanted to do the traditional vows (“I, Denny, take you, Aprille…”) and I wanted us to write our own vows, so we found a compromise. We’re going to do the declaration of intent in the traditional style, which will be very familiar to people, and the vows will be original. I really like the vows. I get teary-eyed when I read them. I’m a little worried about saying them without crying so much that nobody will understand me. Somebody remind me to have a glass of champagne before the ceremony to chill me out.
Although that may actually be a bad idea. Champagne also makes me sentimental, which is not something I’m going to need higher levels of. We’ll figure it out, I guess. We also did some planning on how the space will be laid out, and Jerry estimated the space will hold more than the 200 people they were telling us at the museum. Since we’ll be renting chairs anyway, it seems like we’ll be able to fit people in. Woot!
