Writing warmup: Wedding Festivities.
Hey, I felt like writing a small thing, so y’all get this.
Weddings: I am *on top of it*.
You have no idea how great we are at planning weddings. Do you have an idea? No! No you don’t. Your mind cannot possibly comprehend! Jess and I have been all over this wedding planning thing like white on rice, or like brown on brown rice, or black on wild rice, or yellow on a nice rice pilaf with curry. (S got me a rice cooker for Christmas.)
Let me just tell you, just to give you a glimpse into how awesome we are.
We got a location…no…THE location. The greatest marriage spot in all of Davie, FL. This place does the reception area, food, setup, takedown, and ALSO gives us a place to get married, and they set up that area for us too. Booyah! It’s called Arrowhead Country Club and it’s awesome.
We got the DJ AND the photographer. The guy at Arrowhead gave us some cards for some people to take pictures and do music, and we’ve already met with them and locked them down for the wedding date. AND an officiate! All three! Locked and loaded.
Furthermore, we got the DRESS. Seriously, Jess went dress shopping. That is like the alignment of the planets right there. But she looks super pretty in it and it’s nice to have that piece of the puzzle done.
And now, we have a wedding party! Jess picked out her matron of honor and associated bridesmaid, and I’ve managed to get myself a couple of big, burly men to accompany them. Well, perhaps not burly, but they’re certainly pretty big, considering the previous frontrunners were my 5 and 6 year old nephews. But yeah, we get ourselves some tuxedoes, and we are locked in!
Next up, proper invitations, a cake, and a couple of wedding rings. And then you can stick a fork in those wedding preparations because we will be done.
Oh, and as I type this, I have a Tigger on my lap. I’ve really turned him into my lap cat. He loves hanging out while I play rock band or whatnot. (By the by, I’m currently ranked 293 out of roughly 70,000 people on the vocal leader boards for Rock band, due mostly, I believe, to the fact that few people bother to go through and sing all the songs, and I did. I had Tigger on my lap for the whole thing.) Having a cat is nice, as long as he doesn’t try to bite my fleshy tricep as I type.
