Invention of Briday

We are still discussing the right date for the Big Day. I think we might stick with May 28th, but June 18th is in the running. It's so tricky because of my birthday on the 12th. I really don't want our wedding to be so close, but it could be the best time of year for it. Especially since we want to have it outdoors. Eek I know, what a crazy idea for this rain soaked town. Bleh I don't care, I'm gonna make it work. We have a very loose plan for the day, contingent on two locations that may not be available as we need them. So that's also scary. But ya know, we've been pretty damn lucky thus far in our amazing universe built for two that I think it will all work out.

Ideas that are floating around the ol' noggin. Here are a few things I've found on e.sty... I really like the idea of blue birds or just two birds for our cake topper.

But then there are these cuties! I love all the designs from this vendor.

But this is the one I really want. Unfortunately it's ridiculously over priced, but I could just see it on our cake. Le sigh.

I would like to have little people on top of the cake as long as it definitely looked like two girls. I think this last one is perfect, all you would have to do is change the hair color and add eyelashes and freckles to the groom. So cute.

And I found these awesome champagne flutes...
Following the bird theme..

Or following my love of sugar skulls...


And for table decorations, etc...
More birds!

And just to cement my nerd-dom...cootie catchers with bride-bride trivia.


And here is a sketch I did of a possible tying the knot dress pour moi. I'm thinking tea length and retro but posh with a little veil and flower/feather fascinator.


So those are some of my ideas so far. I'm sure I'll get many more ideas tomorrow, Briday! So until I get a job Friday's will be turned into myself and another to be wed chickie sitting around talking weddings and drinking. Aww yeah! I love me some fun-employment. Not really though. Give me a job. So I can pay for the wedding I'm planning! :)

Music To Remember

With ten zillion different wedding decisions swirling through my head, a lot can get misplaced. So I'm going to compile songs I want at the reception while they are in the forefront of my head.

Forever- Debra Arlyn


Let's Do It- Joan Jett & Paul Westerberg


You and I- Ingrid Michaelson (But I want the version with Jason Mraz)


Lucky- Jason Mraz & Colbie Caillat
Lets Get Married- Jagged Edge
Power of Two- Indigo Girls
Perfect- Doria Roberts
When I Get Up- Tegan & Sara
Anything, Anywhere- Melissa Ferrick

Anyways, that's what I have for now. At least I have them written down and maybe I won't forget about them.
