Great gods...

Didgeridoo Boy and I were to have gone downtown to watch a carnival train unload today, but then the rains came, and came, and came and came andcameandcame...and CAME. Great day, it rained. Even when it stopped, it rained.

So what to do? Well, I dove into the wedding planning I calendared last night - an epic feat in itself, which I've totally coordinated between my iCal and PlannerPad and won't bore you with any further. Today, I researched cakes, cake toppers, tech stuff, non-floral bouquets, cool guest book ideas, and decor ideas. I also completely changed my mind about what kind of event seemed the most appealing - which means it's getting a little more "weddingy", but in a totally un-white-taffeta way. Didge and I put our heads together and figured out what we'll be giving out as favors (his gig!), what to do about our wedsite (ditto!), and what's going to be running as cool background imagery (tritto!), as well as assigning him yet another task as iPod mix master.

I'm in the process of compiling a "D.I.Y / B.U.Y" list....

...and I'm so tired I totally lost my train of thought. Sorry, darlings.

Before I crash, though, I do need to HIGHLY recommend Offbeat Bride - the site, the book, and the tribe (if joining online communities is your thing). If you're planning even slightly less-than-traditional nuptials and are interested in jotting happily away from the wedding machine, go there. I'm betting you'll be as happy a camper as I am.
