We are getting married in less than eleven months. I accidentally DVRed and watched Here Come the Newlyweds. It's a total joke of a show, but regardless, it made me even more excited. I can't wait to be with Paul forever. I know the marriage part will be more fun than the planning part. And it is really impressive that something could beat the planning part.
Because of Paul's graduation, we will be leaving for our honeymoon about three weeks after the wedding. Which means a year from today we will still be in Europe. We are planning to visit the south of France and Cinque Terre in Italy. We want a romantic vacation with nothing more than wine and beaches and good food: cheese, bread and olives to be precise. I can hardly wait to see these beautiful locations with my main man.
I had a bright, though probably not original, idea to use postcards from our honeymoon spots as our thank you notes. So when we are not eating, drinking, taking photos and etc., we'll be looking for cool postcards to mail to our wedding guests when we get back home. (Sorry wedding guests who read, I am ruining all the suspense.)
And to give away another surprise : we are hoping for carrot wedding cake. For one, we love carrot cake. For two, IT'S ORANGE! Talk about a match made in heaven. I want a causal looking cake. Messy frosting, real (orange) roses, a few layers high, under $700, please.
The photo in the bottom right is my most favorite hair image of the moment. My hair will be up - no question. I am loving the sidebun. And no doubt, I'll be enjoying a glass or six of champagne.
