Well, today is Day 10. Oh well. I’m here tonight.
So! The Engagement continues! While we thought we’d chosen a good date with October 6th, 2012 (for several reasons, but mostly because I wanted a Fall wedding that’s not too close to my birthday or other holidays). But the venue that we wanted was not available on that day.
But. It is available on October 13th, 2012, and I do believe that it is THE PLACE, so we’re going to change to the 13th. That’s 10-13-12. Save the Date!
So picture this: a vineyard. Picture a big winery with a big barrel room. Picture wooden barrels lining the brick walls under a soaring vaulted ceiling with heavy wooden beams. Picture a long iron staircase where I will walk down from a pretty loft as a bride for the first time to meet my groom. Picture gigantic wooden doors leading to a tank room where the guys will get ready and do a shot and wish SexyPants well. Picture an outdoor patio (grape stomping pad) where the crowd will gather for a cocktail after the ceremony so that the caterers can flip the barrel room into a dining room and dance area. Picture lights all strung among the beams, resembling a starry night. Picture my brand-spanking new husband and I dancing our first dance in the dimly lit room. OH HOW ROMANTIC…HOW GORGEOUS!!
It’s very expensive (they got us over a barrel–bada boom!), but I believe it’s going to be soooooooo amazing!! I love the place. It’s so fitting and it’s so US.
I can’t tell you how excited I am. This is such a cool experience! Finally…I’m so excited and PROUD to be a fiancee! Proud to be by my fiance’s side. PROUD to wear his ring. OH lawd, I love it. Especially because he seems so excited to be marrying ME! We are both so giddy. While he’s traveling this week he texts me things like, “Good morning, my beautiful fiancee!” and “P.S. Will you marry me?”
Aaaaahhhh, pure and sticky SAP!!
I want to write down all the details, but I don’t seem to ever have enough time or even energy. When SexyPants is around I want to spend all my time with him. So I guess it’s good that he’s traveling this week…and later next week… and some the week after. I hope to have some more time to share all the good stuff!
So–we have the venue picked out. We’ve set the date. We know we want to have approximately 75 peeps. We’ve asked our Matron and Man of honor. We have a ring bearer.
The rest…??!!! Lots to do. This is fun.
I’m nervous and a little stressed. I don’t care if I’ve planned a wedding before. SexyPants keeps telling me that this one is a DONE DEAL. That it’s GOING to happen.
I’m going to be a bride! For reals!
Works been sucking balls. Two of my most important work relationships have gone down the toilet, and it bothers me. It doesn’t help that Relationship #1 is basically a Chicken Little who thinks the sky is falling every fucking day, and Relationship #2 is a spoiled little brat who works for Chicken Little who thinks that every design that passes through my hands is “ugly” and who pouts and stomps her feet when I don’t jump when she and Chicken Little look at things sideways. I mean, seriously, she POUTS and Chicken Little quakes like the world is coming to an end.
Guys, we are not in the medical industry. We are not financial wizards. We are not helping the needy. We are developing tchotchkes in China, for heaven’s sake!!
Ugh. I’m just lucky (so very lucky) that my boss is on my side and that my new counterpart, who happens to be my former nemesis, Krab Kakes is right there by my side as well. It helps–a lot.
It also helps that my busieness, the part that I affect singlehandedly, is UP over 20%. That’s right, bitches. In a world of insane inflation, especially in China, I have increased both my sales AND my savings!! Bottom line is, I’ve been rocking the house…and my customers, Chicken Little and Pouty Pants are ASSHOLES to me. Suck it, Fuckers.
Ah, felt so good to vent.
What else is new?
OH, my parents and I are going to SexyPant’s family’s Thanksgiving! How much fun is that going to be?! Well, we’ll see. It’s going to be a huge event and my mom’s been sick and there will be a little bit of stress surrounding driving there (8 hours) and where we are all going to sleep and if my brother decides to join us, etc. etc., but it will all be OK.
And then this weekend, SOS is coming to visit. It will be the first night he has spent outside his facility since gonig in September. He is doing very, VERY well in the facility. That’s a good thing and a bad thing. Good, in that he’s doing well. Bad, in that he’s a great actor and can pretty much snow everyone. I’m really glad that SexyPants and I can talk about that fact, because I was worried that SP himself was snowed, but he is leery of all the good behavior.
Bottom line, is this is a trial run for Thanksgiving. SOS will be coming for TG at the Pants family’s place. Should be interesting…and it will be a lot of fun. I know that SOS adores going there.
I’m nervous about becoming his Stepmom. We are telling him this weekend when he comes to visit. I think it will all be OK, but we shall see! SexyPants asked me what I wanted to be called (by SOS) once SP and I get married. I told him that he could call me what he’s been calling me all along, which is “Little T”. Hah! The reason he calls me Little T is that he calls The Tan Man (my kitty), “Big T”. Cute, no?
Anyway. I’m sure I’ll let you know how that all goes down. If I get back on here, that is.
I gotta roll. I’m exhausted from being out of gut-spilling shape.
*pant*
I love and adore you and want you ALL to come to the wedding!! Please?!
XOX,
GS
