I haven't had a lot to say in the blog this week quite simply because there isn't much going on in the way of wedding plans--and not because I've been sitting around eating bonbons and ignoring pressing demands. Well, I haven't been doing the latter, anyway. There simply isn't much work to be done. We've finished all of the big stuff, and now we just have to think about the smaller stuff, and some of those tasks can't even be done yet. For instance, we need to figure out our favors/placecard holders, but it's hardly a pressing demand. And we need to do the sticks/centerpiece prototype, but if we paint all of the sticks now, we risk that the paint and glitter will fall off before the big day. We still have to decide on the types of cupcakes we want and the music we want played, but we don't have to make those decisions until a month or so before the wedding.
The most challenging assignment so far has been deciding upon the readings for the wedding. We were hoping to find something from the world of fiction, but so far, we're having trouble finding anything appropriate. If you have any ideas, please send them along.
Oh--I haven't been slacking off entirely--I've been planning our honeymoon! I'm currently working on the itinerary for Paris. I read that grape harvests for wine usually take place during September (though it can vary depending on weather conditions that year), so I'm trying to figure out a way to fit in a visit to a vineyard. The Champagne region is day-trippable from Paris, and several vineyards are within walking distance of train stations. I was concerned that with our trip focusing primarily on Paris and Nice (two cities), we would miss out on the opportunity to see the countryside--day trips to the rescue!
