Band, Head Pieces, and Venues. Oh My!
I am getting used to the idea of being engaged and getting married. It still throws me for a bit of a loop when I get an email from my father with sentences like: “Actually, also, Mom and I are in wedding planning mode, and it occurred to me that it could be great to have a band like this from Chicago play at your party.” I have an indie dad, and he wants to get an indie band to play my wedding. I think it is adorable… I can’t imagine being able to get a band I would actually want to play at my wedding, but maybe the Scissor Sisters will be free to fly to Indiana that weekend.
Then I got a call this morning from a very old friend of mine, Matt, who I met in Pre-School, who owns the gayest salon in Chicago (http://www.mensgroomingparlor.com/), telling me that he was going to do my hair and makeup and that he is going to make me a head piece for the wedding. I told him to think tall awesome monstrosity.
So the engagement is becoming less scary, maybe even a little fun. But, I have done nothing yet. Mike and I are stopping by my parents’ house this weekend on our way to Seattle and we are apparently spending Saturday checking our venues… I assume my new found calm will be lost this weekend.
