HOKAY so. This bitch is gonna rock.

I haven’t really talked much about the general feel of our wedding. I think I’ll do that, mmkay? But instead of blabbering in sentence form, which some of y’all KNOW I love to do, I’m gonna make a LIST! That’s right. It’s going to be repetitive and awesome. And not comprehensive, because I don’t roll that way. In no particular order. So, yeah. You were warned.

  1. It’s going to be awesome.  Like, fall-over-and-pee-your-pants awesome.
  2. There will be no bridal army. I.e. I won’t have a bridal party dressed in IDENTICAL baby pink dresses with IDENTICAL stripper shoes and IDENTICAL crappy hair and IDENTICAL terrible makeup. Got it?
  3. There will be crayons.
  4. It will be representative of our relationship and who we are, both as people and as a couple.
  5. There will be NO SEATING CHART. (For someone so uptight, I sure am trying to be relaxed with this whole thang!)
  6. We are having a club-circuit DJ. Awesome? Uh, yeah.
  7. We’re having the reception in a Louisiana-style plantation. That I grew up in. That is awesome.
  8. We don’t really have super-set wedding colors. The colors are, well, just, COLOR. We’ll go over that later, y’alls.
  9. I won’t go into specifics of my outfit, but I promise it will be ballin’ and ridonk.
  10. We want to somehow pay homage to our super awesome Kitten of Rock. (Pictured above).
  11. We’re having a non-boring meal filled with our favorites and stuff from our backgrounds- German, Cajun/Creole, teeny burgers, Italian, Asian-fusion.
  12. I wish we could do a second-line from the church to the house. Maybe I’ll just settle with some Mardi Gras masks.
  13. We’re having a smilebooth. Oh, that will be ridiculous. Oh, and a bananas photog.
  14. Robots will make an appearance. Somewhere.
  15. I will break down like a baby during the ceremony. In happiness, but I can predict it. There will be tears, and I’m not a public-cryer.
  16. We want to be able to greet and spend some time with each and every guest.
  17. Can you say, beer, wine, and hunch punch? Yeah. You can. [Disclaimer: I have not discussed the hunch punch option possibility with my family or JP yet. Surprise!]
  18. JP has said he will smash cake in my face. I’m dealing with it. :p
  19. After said cake smashing, I fully intend to STUFF MY FACE with cake.
  20. I have requested that JP take the garter off with his teeth.
  21. 1am after-party at the hotel? Yes, please.
  22. Eclectic, funky, fun, effortless [looking], colorful, different, non-traditional, traditional, LOUD, sweet, loving, special, amazing, wonderful, madd gangsta’
  23. Most importantly, we want our wedding to be a CELEBRATION of US. A big, fun, party with all of our best pals and important people in our lives. Lots of dancing, revelry, and embarrassing levels of fun and LOVE.

Perfect. Seriously. Our wedding will be VERY similar … makes me happy to read about yours because I’m so far away from planning for serious yet!

LaurenOctober 14, 2009 - 3:46 pm

Thank you!! It’s fun planning a really funky-fun wedding. This little ol’ town isn’t going to know what hit ‘em!

The planning phase goes from “lah lah lah, so much timmeee!” to “HOLY CRAP. WE GOTSTA GO!” Lol. You’ll be there in no time.

Shut up. Sounds amazing. How in the hell am I ever going to get myself invited to this par-tay? Do you need someone to hold the kitty?

LaurenOctober 14, 2009 - 4:07 pm

Lol! Thanks! I just asked Wednesday (Kitten of Rock) if she wanted to be held, and she started chewing on my running shorts drawstring. That I’m wearing. I’m not sure what that means translated into human speak. :p
