Wedding planning for the bulk of today. Fleshed out a menu for the rehearsal dinner and the reception. The Hicks' are being wonderful and helping James and I out with the food. They're coordinating and making it all (except for the cake) which is a huge stress-saver for me. Plus, the homemade finger foods at the reception will just add to the rustic feel of the whole event, which I love!
Today I was all giddy with dreams of the details. Lanterns, ties, polaroids, paper flowers, cupcakes, s'mores, sand, sunset, mason jars, dresses...ah it's really more than I can stand sometimes. And I love getting to take this journey with my best friend.
James and I are very different people, and that is reflected in our styles. James is techy, into retro nerd culture and hip, sleek, modern things, though he's pretty laid-back style-wise. I'm more...romantic...I guess. While I love my blazers and skinny jeans, I'd rather be barefoot in a light dress in the middle of a meadow any day. We both share a laid-back feel in our styles, and while we're each 3/4 one way, we flip to other ways as well. Ultimately, our style as a couple ends up being pretty eclectic with aspects of modernity and comfy elegance. We want our wedding to reflect our quirky "couple style", with a rustic feel with geeky, fun flair. It's not easy, but we're finding ways. For example, the "grooms cake", which is actually going to be cupcakes, will be topped with a girl Yoshi and a boy Yoshi kissing, while another set of cupcakes will likes be topped with cute little kissing birds. It's definitely not an easy process, but it's one I love.
Counting the days...
