Mike and I are both fine, we are great, other than apparently both coming down with seasonal illnesses the MOMENT we returned from Thailand. But that’s not important to this part; point is that the wedding and everything is still on. So sorry if I scared anyone.
No the things which I have changed my mind about was wedding colours. Silly I know, but it mattered to me.
Originally I said ORANGE! And I’m keeping that. I love it, it’s great, it’s fall, and well it’s just very me and Mike agrees. However I am a realist and understand that a second colour would be a good idea since not everything does/should come in orange! It’s a wonderful accent colour.
Here’s where the change occurs, I had thought like a soft blue would be good, easy to get and much more available for bridesmaid and flower girl dresses than orange. But as time has gone by I have himmed and hawed this blue. I mean blue is the complimentary colour to orange, artistically they match, but soft blue, as I had envisioned so as not to be THE colour (which is definitely orange), is just well... so... not me! Anyone who knows me knows I like colours that are strong, vibrant, and often jewel in tone. Anything ‘soft’ or ‘pastel’ is kind of falling in my nose crinkling dislike realm.
So why did I make it one of my colours?! Mike has no partial to soft blue, and honestly he’s super open to just about any colour.
That is why I have changed the colours from Orange and icky soft blue (sorry to soft blue lovers) to Orange and Purple! Yea!
All this is really overdramatic since we have bought or ordered NOTHING in ANY colours. This brings me to my next point.
January is BOOKING MONTH!
OMG I have less than 9 months until our wedding! SO much is like ‘chosen’ but not BOOKED! Ah! I need to do that, to confirm things, make down payments, and confirm dates and prices. Seriously as far as most of the retail/rental/service world knows there is NOTHING booked. Eck! It doesn’t help that living on the other side of the world with a 14 hours time difference to my home area, means that I must email and things instead of calling and talking to people. You have no idea how annoy emails are from business when you are just asking general questions, they cut and paste corporate approved things sometimes and I am often more confused than informed.
So yes, this month, with Mike being busy with the wonderful English play (which consumed both our lives for three months last and that was BEFORE Mike was director as he is this year!) I will be really taking the reins on this one. I hope.
Well I’ve bored you all with this post I’m sure, but honestly I have little to nothing to report on the wedding front – and that’s the part that terrifies me! So I’m hoping this post, while mildly entertaining, will also energize and inspire me to do the nitty gritty booking and emailing stuff that I have to.
Wish me luck.
