i can't sleep. not one peep.
i am unable to turn my brain off. for some reason i'm stuck in girl mode; more specifically ( i can't really think of that all-encompassing phrase that people use) obsessed with getting married. weird to hear something like that coming from me, but i know that it's coming some time in the near(er) future, as matt has been talking about saving money to get me a ring/picking ones out, etc... i made the mistake of telling my mom this, and she's going crazy too, but i think maybe moreso than i.
unfortunately i can't sleep because i apparently feel the uncontrollable urge to start planning my wedding. this is something little girls (with the exception of my prior little-girl-self) do; and people who are actually engaged... I'm rather annoyed because this planning business can totally wait, but in order to get to bed i think it might help to get my ideas out on [digital] paper.
right. i want a vintage-y (probably handmade by margo) dress, fascinator (maybe i'll make one) for my hair and finger waves - real '20s. if i can get matt to wear a fedora, that would be awesome.
july. outside. my godparents' yard by ft. lincoln, by the pond/mini waterfall/swing, big tents (there will be a fuckton of people because my family is HUGE) with lanterns, an archway/gazebo with bright colors.
fiery red/persimmonny-orange OR peacock blue/chartruese OR all of the above
maid of honor: ali (i promised!) attendants: anjel, rosie and johno
I assume matt will pick cody, casey, andy and josh (or his brother, but i'm not sure)
My godmother Mary will officiate (she is a jp)
my godfather darwin will play piano,and bailey will sing as they are both so gifted - happy ever after(ben harper) is the processional (maybe tabitha will play violin too), i will(beatles) - intermission(?), purple bottle(animal collective) - recessional; a jumpy runny recessional haha
my godmother kathy will speak. i don't care what she says. everything she says is inspiring and heartfelt. maybe she'll read some pablo neruda (in spanish, of course. who cares if no one understands it but me!)
the reception will involve lots of good food ( i want a potluck, but apparently that is really taboo/cheap for a wedding, but dammit, my family can cook!)
javascript:popupWindow('http://www.suenosimports.com/catalog/popup_image.php?pID=59&image=0') will be on top of my cake (that i will hopefully decorate myself!)
i will dance with my dad to 'when i'm 64' because my parents played it at their wedding, and i know he'll like it
i want a live band, but i think it would be more trouble than it's worth.
i think that's all i have planned out, but i still can't sleep; now i just have a crink in my neck.
so much for waking up at 8 starting tomorrow. bah. my goals never last long.
