Well, it's time for another life update of what's been going on with all things Wedding related since we last spoke. (So if you're a guy - and therefore possibly not interested in NEthing I have to say from this point on - then skip to the next entry... :))
Things are going quite well in the planning stages. Anna and I have finally managed to sort out a Reception venue, which has taken us about four months to decide on - what with interruptions from having to pack a whole house and dog bites and whatnot. Booking the Reception venue has enabled us to finally confirm the date of our Wedding as well - March the 1st, 2008. (So don't expect to see me online here at Gamespot that day, K? :))
With a confirmed date, we have also managed to sort out the Church, and arranged for our own Minister to marry us (which took a bit of negotiating, but worked out OK). We have also managed to book a Photographer and Videographer for the day, which is nice. (We're using the same ones my Sister did for her Wedding last year - I was impressed with the end results, so that saved us a lot of time in sorting things out).
Anna has also found her Wedding Dress, and has put some money aside for that. Of course, as the man in this relationship, I am unable to know a THING about the Dress until the special day itself, so I will remain blissfully unaware of what it looks like until then. (Although I have been reliably informed that it will knock my socks off... :))
All of these places and services require deposits, so we've spent the past week or two throwing money at people, to confirm bookings and secure venues and services for the day. Still have other bookings to make, but some of them can wait a few months (such as my Suit for the day, and stuff like that)
Currently, we're checking out some DJ's, and looking at what type of vehicles we're gonna be making use of - personally, I like the idea of Anna parachuting into the Church from on high, and then I'm planning on bursting in through the doors on the back of a Harley or some such thing. All very dramatic, and not terribly realistic, but it's fun to imagine. :)
NEhow, that's where we're at for the time being. Some point closer to the Wedding, I'll give you another update on how things are going, K?
And now we return you to your normal scheduled programming...
(Yup, the talk about Weddings is over guys. It's safe to read my Journal again. :D)
