westernind: (Venice Wedding)
[personal profile] westernind
Someone on an LJ I read posted a link yesterday: Straightforward Rules for Keeping Wedding Planning From Sapping Your Common Sense, Squashing Your Sense of Humor, and Sucking the Joy Out of One of Life's Most Joyous Occasions.

Fantastic stuff, especially nice to read 'cos I'm not getting hung up about 'stuff' when I really thought my control freaky personality would make it inevitable. In fact, I'd like some anti-bridezilla brownie points please. Because [livejournal.com profile] jfs still doesn't know what he's wearing, four days before the wedding. Oh, and I don't know what [livejournal.com profile] eldelphia is wearing either. But it doesn't matter. As the article says; "It's a wedding, not a military parade".

Strong deja vu on Saturday whilst planning out all the logistics with [livejournal.com profile] forbinproject and [livejournal.com profile] jfs, then I realised it's because the last time the three of us did something similar it was running The Last Battle, the final Summerlands event. We work well as a team. Mind you, we're in big trouble if [livejournal.com profile] curlwomble gives the rings to the ringwraiths.*

Luckily I had my coffee delivered to me by Tiaan (my very amusing and cool SA colleague) shortly after I read this... :-)

See you in La Serenissima, my single dark eye winking at you through the mist and the Aqua Alta.

I do tho! and have done for some time! We are not co-ordinated and I don't have name tags in my knickers but am I still allowed to come? I did at least tell you I had a plan!

I could lend you my huge furry Cruella de Ville coat!

That would be very warm. Currently I have a dark green wool cloak to go over the top of things or a long plain black coat.

Clothes.

Definitely clothes.

Hope that helps ....


(Actually, we're sorted - red velvet frock coat etc. for me, black Victorian bustle skirt and corset for [livejournal.com profile] feistyredhead. Unless it's freezing cold in which case wooly jumpers.)

I bet the red velvet in your frock coat clashes with my bodice :)

My dear, it clashes with everything.

Of course.

I'll be picking up a bottle of something Italian and quaffable so that the two of us can toast the two of you at the appropriate time. Wish we could be there.

I am very impressed! Definately mega brownie points for you. Although could some of that be due to the aforementioned fabulous wedding planner? };)

Hope you have a *fabulous* time. After all, it will be unforgettable. *hugs*

LOL, I hope that your wedding doesn't got the same pat as the Last Battle because as much as I loved it I think that you could do without the undead factor ;o)

Hope that everything goes well and that you have an ejoyable and unforgettable time. Love and best wishes to you!!!

I'm sure all will go swimmingly. Have a fabulous day - we'll be thinking of you over a bottle of decent Italian red.

It's such a insanely good idea, gods and fates will smile.

Have a marvellus time the pair of you, first and foremost.

I have copied your link to pass on to other friends who are embroiled in wedding plans at the moment. I hope it all goes fantastically well (it certainly sounds like it will be wonderful)
