Happy Endings

Well, I'm officially jobless. It was only a matter of time, and I'm supposed to be re-hired in March or April, but in the meantime I'm trying to relax and enjoy having the time to do all the things I always said I'd do if I didn't have to work. So far I have gone to the gym a couple times and watched a lot of Ellen reruns. Not what i had in mind.

I wish we had a budget and date set for our wedding, but we don't, so I can't really work on anything for that. We were discussing options and I thought the San Francisco Zoo might be cool. I mean, it has a freakin' carousel for crying out loud!!


But my love says it will smell like the elephants and it is not romantic. Even after pointing out that the fees were a small fraction of all other locations he was not having any of it. He picked out this place:

It is exactly what I pictured before I started looking into fees. $7,000 for a Saturday wedding for up to 150 people. If we have a Northern California wedding we're looking at a guest list of about 200 people.

If we end up with a large budget for this thing (which i have wishy-washy opinions on) I believe we're going to end up at Disneyland. I KNOW, I know. I hated the idea at first. Now, I'm a little bit (ok, totally) sold. Please keep in mind that we got engaged in front of the castle in December.

We could get married in front of the castle. the CASTLE people (person?)!


Realistically, we're not getting married at the castle. No matter what. You have to wait until the park closes and then they need time to set everything up. On Saturdays the park doesn't close until midnight. 10 on an off day. And I am not going to pay off the park to close early. I'd rather elope. So more likely we're looking at the gazebo at the Disneyland Hotel.



Please ignore the flowers and massive wedding party. as our flowers will be better and our wedding part smaller. I don't even think I know that many girls...

And look what I would ride in!

The guys in the little outfits like in Cinderella crack me up. Then the reception we'd want to have in the Disney Animation Attraction since my Love is an artist and its his favorite location. In case you've never been, its a huge hall with screens of all different sizes and they play screens from different movies with music. Its way cooler than I make it sound.


I would also do rounds. I'm a little confused about how long tables at weddings really work.

There would be an Electrical Parade rehersal dinner ( my favorite party of Disney) and a Mad Hatter Tea Party brunch (my favorite Disney movie).

Its perfect in its cheesy, we're only gonna do this once kind of way. I also think it would be awesome to have a picture of us and our friends and family on the Tower of Terror in wedding clothes.

To top it all off, a Southern California wedding means that we could get the extraordinary Max Wanger without having to ship him up to us!
