Drinking cheap champagne and wedding planning from our tub.
I don’t want to jinx it, but I think I may be getting a little bit excited about our wedding. The outcome of Amendment One was a total downer, but I don’t think it should stop us from our plans. And I’m still hopeful that one day everyone will have equal marriage rights in our country.
George and I have been talking about our wedding and Googling almost nightly from our office/bathtub. Yup, we sit in the bathtub, drink and hang out for about an hour every night. It’s one of my favorite things to do.
We even chatted on the phone with an amazing photographer last night. He is almost unbelievably amazing. I don’t even want to share his name yet. He is that good. George and our possible photog hit it off too. They both like motorcycles and fried chicken livers, weird combo, right?
I think that letting go of what was expected of us (i.e. inviting the whole family, having a summer wedding, decorations galore, wedding blogging constantly) has been a huge relief. I might even share a few details of the planning process with you all, if it is not too stressful, of course.
Did you “let go” of expectations for your wedding? I want to hear from you!
love,

Bathtub planning seshes sound awesome! (: Our tiny Dutch houses only has a shower, so we tend to do our brainstorming while lounging around the kichen table. The other night, though, we were dreaming about a closet-sized Finnish sauna we could park in our bedroom. Someday.
We planned our wedding from afar, while separated from each other, and by the end, we had to just let things flow! A lot of details were nixed at the end, and the result was more simple, but more beautiful. Good luck to you!
Thanks, Valerie! A Finnish sauna sounds lovely! And I think we’re already letting a few details go, but sometimes less is more.
