I - even I - know the solution.

This weekend was simply whirligig with wedding business, both ours and others. I have not been on the computer once, except for a brief moment last night when I logged on to email and decided I was just too tired to bother after reading only a couple emails.

Friday night Davey & I both worked at Double Wide for a private wedding party, which we figured would be a good opportunity to see how it flowed, and of course if there were any steal-able good ideas we might want to incorporate. These people, however, had quite a bit more money to throw around than we do, so the steal-able ideas were good but out of our price range. Also, they did not show up until two hours after they were supposed to, and left two hours after they were supposed to; so after clean up and pay out we didn't leave until after six in the morning.

Sadly I had a hair appointment at 10 the next morning, followed by a date to meet my dad so we could get all the wine for the wedding, so there was definitely no rest for the wicked. By the time all this was done we had to get home and get ourselves gussied up for our friends Josh & Leslee's wedding. So off we trundled, exhausted beyond belief, but ready to have a good time nevertheless.

We enjoyed the wedding - they are so happy and adorable and they HAD A PHOTO BOOTH. It was so fun - I spied it within about 40 minutes of being there, of course. I'll get them scanned in and post them soon.

It's funny going to a wedding so close to ours - the emotion of it was really compounded by it, I think, and David and I held each other and got a tiny bit dew-eyed during the ceremony, thinking of how in five short weeks that will be us standing in front of everyone. And of course we were touched and thrilled for our friends, who had the luck of meeting each other. It was just a very sweet night.

Oh and I thoroughly confirmed my burgeoning couple-crush on some other people we have gotten to know through Josh and Leslee. Which is great, since I have decided that once we are married we need some Married Friends to do dumb things with like make dinners and get incredibly drunk on wine; play Risk and overturn kingdoms. I should translate my crush into an actual friendship so that the six of us can do that. And then we'll all start having babies and they can, I don't know, roll around on the floor while we partake in our enjoyment of our love, music, wine, and revolution.

Oh and we've decided the phrase "love, music, wine, and revolution" is going to be our Family Motto. Perhaps I will create a Family Crest with an image of Stephin Merritt holding a chalice and a sword or something.

This post is all over the place. After staying up too late watching Mystery Science Theatre 3000 while working on my veil I am useless. Perhaps more later.

I secretly want to have a group of friends who play cards with me (I like spades. And Rook!), but Risk sounds fun, too. It's nice that you and Davey have couple-type friendships.

I very much want to see your Merritt crest.

I want to see the crest if you make one, too
