First of all, I want to publicly wish my fiance Josh a great big Happy Birthday!
I am very excited about our handfasting in September. I spoke with the woman who co-owns the Vineyard with her husband. I always have a lot of questions I forget about until I get her on the phone, but she's patient and kind. The tent sounds like it will perfectly accommodate the DJ's needs. And we both thought, since there's no wedding party, we could set up a super-cute "table for two" for the bride and groom. I still have to contact Josh's coworker about possibly making cupcakes in lieu of the cake. Josh had the best idea, too: red velvet cake with white frosting to match our ceremony colors. My biggest fear is that the guest list will start getting out of control. It's still missing most of Josh's family, and it's up to about 120 people with coworkers/my family/our friends. I hope it doesn't go too high over 200 because food is a big expense. I plan to get my shoes at DSW on a summer sale.
I'm also excited because my novel is coming along so well. I'm on the cusp of page 100, in the middle of the most daring scene I've ever written that I also intended other people to read. It's taking me several hours to get through it because it's pivotal and can't be bogged down in cliches. My characters have been waiting 3 months for this moment, and I've been waiting four months of real time since I started the novel for this scene, so it's a monumental day for the three of us. : p
