Wedding Plan
Hrm... Can we use the discussion page for comments? Other than fixing my typos, of course.
Colors: Red and White. Ratri said I must find some way to work candy-canes into the favors. ;) The red I want a good deep rose-red, a real harlot color.
Dress: I'm thinking lace bell sleeves, a princess silouhette (sp?) and... not sure about the neckline yet. Need to try some on. White with red trip, especially at the ends of the sleeves. If I can just work in a hood, I'll be white mage for my wedding! ;)
Shoes: Do I want to wear heels? I doubt it. Being slightly taller might be nice, though. But then again, the ballet slippers were pretty awesome. I wonder if I can get them in red? Also, Jen's bride-sneakers were excellent. Maybe I can find something like that. Depends on the weather.
Wedding party: Dunno who Nybble will want for his groomsmen. I'm going to want my housemates (female ones) as bridesmaids, unless I pick one for the officiator. I should probably make them draw straws for maid-of-honor. Except that Zahnnie ... she's nowhere near responsible enough. I'll just put her in charge of the bar. Also, I want Rachel, Nyb's sister, as a junior bridesmaid, Mouse as a flower girl (she'll probably be old enough to do it on her own this time) and maybe my cousin Michael or Nyb's cousin Justin as ring-bearer.
Bridesmaid's dresses: Like the bride, except red with white trim/lacing, and probably with a scoop neckline. We've considered finding plain sleeveless red dresses and adding the sleeves--hopefully we can find red lace that won't clash with red dresses. We'll see.
Flowers: Red and white roses. Might have to figure out some fill-in flowers. It'd be hilarious if I gave white roses to all the virgin maids and red ones to the non-virgin ones. Hilarious. I think I'll add it to the bad wedding ideas page.
Date: We need to pick one of these. First, a season. Maybe end of Summer/beginning of Fall? Early October 2006?
Registry: Damn. This might be tough, other than toys. Ratri and Morrigu already have all the good kitchen stuff, and our house is full enough as it is. Possibly good china and silverwear, and storage cases for them. Possibly a new TV. Probably towels and sheets. Dunno what else yet. I'm thinking Bed Bath & Beyond (look out for that "Beyond" section) and Amazon, but also a good electronics store, for Nyb's fun. I wonder how many of those do registries. Also, computers? Register with Apple? Silly.
Place: I'm thinking Danversport for now. Need to take a look, but it solves the catering and ceremony issues nicely.
Religion: No church wedding, no Mass ... but we might have some people say a prayer or two. As long as it isn't the "When I was a child, I spake as a child..." because I'm not ready to give up my childish things yet. ;)
Music: DJ, almost certainly... and I'll give him my iPod to play from. I have lots of songs that I like, almost certainly enough to fill up the hours of the reception. Maybe some people can help me go over them to narrow it down. I know many of our relatives and friends might not appreciate all the stuff I have on my playlist... but it's so tempting to just inflict it. >:)
Cake: Ooh, I have ideas for the cake... I'm thinking spiral stairs up the sides... or maybe a mountain with wolves, for Puppy! Or Samoyeds in the snow! Could be fun...
Invitees/Attendees: This is going to depend on how much money we have.
