Just Call Me Maybe

I'm not gonna lie. This winter? It stinks.  I am a teensy bit over the freezing polar vortex that keeps dancing around the city pointing and laughing at me. Kentucky usually doesn't have too much of a winter. I am okay with the usual winter here - a few good snows, a random temperature drop to the teens for a day or two, a stray half-melted snowman adorning a porch. But this winter has been awful! Now, I don't want to complain too much because I HATE HOT WEATHER. I am by no means looking forward to Summer. But I would like a good solid day with temperatures in the 40's. I think at this point that would feel tropical!

Anyway, back to the wedding. Things have been slow on the wedding front lately because of the cold front. I haven't been shopping in days, but I have spent a lot of time perusing the internet continuing to find inspirations. Right now my focus is on two things that have nothing to do with one another: The honeymoon and the music.

We honestly have no idea where we want to go for our honeymoon. We have talked about a cruise, a trip to Hawaii, a trip to Disney World, a cabin in the Smokey Mountains, a random beach trip, NYC - so many ideas. The thing is, we are paying for our wedding ourselves, and we are paying for our honeymoon ourselves. Why must the two come so closely together?! Why isn't the tradition that you marry in one year and honeymoon in the next? Well, we may start a new tradition! Ha. So I have been scouring the internet, polling Facebook friends, and family in an attempt to find the best absolute deal possible. So far, no go. Then there is the small, teensy, most tiniest detail..............I'm terrfied of flying. Certifiably terrified. Yes, I completely understand the statistics about how safe flying is, there are never hardly commercial air crashes, blahblahblah. People, I'm scared. How does one get over this to go have a wonderful honeymoon in say, Hawaii?! I hate being crippled by this fear, yet don't know how to get over it. I'm begging Andrew to drive if we go to Disney World. He is adamant that I can be fed sedatives and alcohol and suck it up for the hour flight. (Okay. He isn't actually that mean about it because he adores me, but if his inner evil twin wanted to speak I bet that's what he would say. :) ) So alas, until I can figure out my flying woes and the magic money fairy comes along, our honeymoon is facing some complications currently.

In music news....I have absolutely no idea how to narrow down music for the wedding ceremony!! I think I know what I want the bridesmaids/mothers of the bride, etc to walk in to. And I'm fairly certain I know what I want us to walk out to. And I think I MIGHT know what song to play for the unity ceremony part. Okay, so maybe I'm not in too awful shape. But still! I have to pick some more songs for the prelude time, and I have to decide if I want any vocals or just all strings, and if I want lyrics read (special ones) and all kinds of things.

So today's post is just one big "Well hey we might....but we might not....but we might! Are you still reading? Because we might not." I suppose after so many quick, concrete decisive moments I was bound to slip up sometime. Oh, but we DID book a photographer! Woohoo! Only thing left now is food. You know. That minor detail. Cause I'm assuming y'all want to eat. ;)
