Have you ever listened to the lyrics of "The Look" by Roxette? The boy and I just did, and they had us nearly hysterical. I don't know if it's a mis-translation or what, but it sounds exactly like they were all sitting around one day.... (fade to daydream sequence)

 

Band Member 1: We need to write a song! (It's in english because this is my daydream sequence)

Band Member 2: Good idea! What should we write about?

Band Member 1: (eating a sandwich) I'unno.

Band Member 3: Well, this IS the '80s. We should write about a chick.

Band Member 2: Nah, that's boring.

Band Member 1: (polishes off sandwich before speaking) Let's compromise! We'll write a song about a chick based off one of these crazy-funny mad-lib things! I just got one, and there is serious hilarity potential, I'm telling you! Plus, it's always good to spur inspiration!

Band Member 3: How is that a compromise? Are you stoned?

Band Member 2: Does it matter?

Band Member 3: ...not really. Let's get on it, then!

(end daydream sequence)

 

 

Also, I'm getting married on Joss Whedon's birthday, which is hysterical to me right now. I think I'm prone to hysteria due to finals looming large. But yeah. I had no idea until today, just now, when I read the deal about Serenity being released back into theaters for charity on his birthday. Heh. That's pretty wicked. The boy snickered and said resignedly, "Figures."

 

Gah. Must suppress urge to spend money I don't have on stuff I don't need.

 

My brother's mother-in-law is going to do all our flowers at no cost. That's pretty cool. Vicki. I need to remember her name is Vicki.

 

Cake at no cost, flowers at no cost, hairstyle at no cost, makeup at no cost, food handling at no cost (not actual catering, but people are helping to serve punch and keep trays stocked and cake set out and whatnot), piano for when I walk at no cost, decorations at little cost, location at no cost, officiant at no cost... And I know I'm forgetting stuff. I know I sound like an incredible cheapskate, but I just have a lot of great people in my life.

You're not a cheapskate at all, I think that's incredible that you are able to put together an event like this and not break the bank. My mind boggles when I think of all the freakin money that gets spent on weddings.

 

I notice you didn't mention "pictures at no cost" - regardless, I hope we get to see some anyway!

Ooh! Actually! Pictures at no cost! They won't be professional, but I know a few people with good digital cameras, and my cousin wants to be a photojournalist, and she just got a really, really nice camera- Plus we're sticking disposables on tables to let the guests take some pictures. I will definitely see about getting some posted when we see the results.

It doesn't sound to me like you're a cheapskate, it sounds like you're a nice person and people want to participate in your wedding out of friendship, because it's meaningful to them! ;)

Exactly! What Valentina said.

 

My SMIL-to-be finally got fed up with us and paid a photographer to steal a few "official" photos for our wedding day. I kept telling her: "Look, all of my relatives are coming, and [The Mister]'s former co-workers too. That means a church full of Chinese- and Japanese-Americans. I think we got the photos covered." ;)
