Man, I feel like I've had my head up my ass, because the reality that I'm getting married in a few days has really set in now. It's not the idea of getting married, as I've been perfectly comfortable with that for a very long time, but rather that the actual date is almost here. Holy shit! Work has kept me very distracted, but today I think I had some conversations that at least partially put my mind at ease. We'll see.
I'm not a heavy list maker or planner the way Diana is, and honestly she's been at the center of all of the wedding and boat plans. I handled all of the honeymoon plans, which honestly isn't that hard beyond making reservations. My mind will be at ease when we touch down in Lihue. The run out to the Big Island actually has me a little tweaked out because, I don't know, I just hate shuffling around on a schedule.
I haven't packed anything. Diana leaves tomorrow, while I go Thursday. My clothes are traveling with her dress, as are the rings, so that part is off my shoulders. I mostly just have to show up in Florida. But I did have to get all of the iPod music arranged and such, and that's good to go. I've actually made a few lists so I don't forget any of the gadgets I need to document the experience. Battery chargers and such.
It's a complete pain in the ass that we're flying back here to Cleveland before going to Hawaii, but the extra three hours or so total flight time actually saves us about a grand between the two of us in airfare. As soon as you start arranging flights that aren't round trip, they get more expensive. It doesn't make any sense. Actual travel agents can't seem to get around it either. I suppose the one bonus is that we have to tote around less stuff, but on the flip side, we also get the honeymoon moving a day later, and that kind of sucks.
But I think for the most part everything will just happen, and hopefully we'll be able to just enjoy it. I know her dad is going to make everyone nuts because he wants everything to be perfect, but he gets dibs on the wine at the reception.
There are good times in our future...
