Wedding shaping up to be epic

I went to see Darcy this morning, who has been cutting my hair now for 15 years, and I was telling her all about the wedding plans. It seemed to click and be more real when I was telling her about it, and I think even more real was that it could be the most epic wedding I'll go to. I'm glad it's mine!

Honestly I haven't spent a lot of time thinking about it because there isn't much for me to do. The date and location are done, and most of the details have been figured out. Diana, on the other hand, is in hard core dress shopping mode, but naturally I'm not really a part of that. My only remaining duties are to plan the honeymoon, which is less time sensitive, and show up.

But I was showing Darcy the photos of the boat and what not, and it hit me that having our reception there is seriously crazy. Who does that? It's like this glorious excess, but in a good way.

I think that having a really limited guest list makes a difference too. It may suck that you can't have everyone you know there, but it makes the time with those few people a lot more intimate. I think about the friends who will be there, most of whom I don't get to see that often, and I'm really happy about that.

Overall, the whole affair seems appropriate for what it's celebrating. It'll be less than two years from the time we met until the time we start jointly filing taxes. Heck, we had only met a year before when we decided to get married. I still scratch my head that she picked me out of an eHarmony line up. You really can't control when this stuff happens... it just does!

I agree with you about smaller being better when it comes to weddings. Although ours is going to be large in comparison, the 125 or so people Jeanine and I are inviting seems like nothing compared to what some of our friends are planning. We originally wanted to keep it at 100, but after adding up all of the immediate family we were already at 75 or 80.

Intimate, memorable, and (most importantly) fun are the adjectives that I would love for people to use when describing our reception.

I envy the ability to have a wedding as small as you guys will have. Our immediately family easily tops 200. Choosing some aunts and uncles over others would have been great but that would have caused many problems down the road.

Good luck to both of you.
