Dawn's Digression.
Tuesday, May 06, 2003
I have busy as sin at work lately. Can you believe they are expecting me to work? It's awful.
There's nothing new except wedding plans. And I suppose that isn't new. It's quite old. I'm still looking for a reception site that is cheap with a low minimum. I'm not sleeping at night. I have so much bouncing around upstairs, it is damn near impossible.
I reserved our wedding site the other day. The Black Bear Inn. It doesn't look that cute, but it's on 6000 acres and we'll have our own hot tub and fireplace and everything. I think it will be really groovy. The officiant sent me some sample vows. I was reading them and my palms started sweating. I'm promising some really big stuff. It is a little intimidating. And although it scares the fuck out of me, it also feels easy. I've been living the same philosophy I will be committing myself to, so what is the change? What will be different after the ceremony? Nothing really. And I've always said I don't need a ceremony. I don't. But I want one. I want to be the bride once in my life. I think I may even get a dress. I don't even wonder all that often if I'm doing the right thing. Michele is really good for me and I know it. I have changed quite a bit since we've been together. Although a lot of that has to do with age, it also has to do with influence. She brings out a lot of qualities in me that I had no idea existed.
So, our wedding date is September 27, 2003 at 12:30 in the afternoon. We'll be in Vermont in the middle of foliage. I've always wanted to go to Vermont for foliage. This is going to be so pretty. I just hope it doesn't rain. Please, please no rain. Maybe I'll even get to see a covered bridge this time. I hope to get married outside in front of some turning trees. Ruby and Robin are going. Ruby is my Maid of Honor in VT. Shelley is going for Michele, and possibly her friends Patti and Helen. I invited McJenny, but I don't know if she can go or not. It is so expensive. But I wanted her to know she was invited. Get this -- my mom wants to go. She says maybe Dad, too. Can you believe that? She came around. But now I'm all freaked out. I can't kiss a girl in front of my mother! Weird. *shiver* Michele and I have decided that if they go, we'll just shake hands.
So, yeah. My mom came around. She is going with me to try on dresses. She told her friends at work that I was getting married and they told her to get over it. So now she's being really cool. I guess I better find a really groovy Mother's Day present, eh?
