So, to be honest, I've been seriously considering a tattoo for quite a while, and have been putting it off mostly for monetary and job interview considerations. I finally found a job in Pullman (hooray! I'm at Heros & Sports, come down and visit sometime!) and my tip money has been burning a hole in my pocket. So obviously the tattoo is on my mind even more at the moment.
But current excuse for not going under the needle is the wedding. I don't care a whole lot about tradition and the wedding status quo, but neither do I want to look super-trashy. But check out this photo (its from Offbeat Bride, I have serious wedding envy, check it out: Classy and Heavily Inked).
I suppose I've posted enough goofiness for the time being, I should actually write things down when decisions are actually made.
We tend to discuss the wedding when driving around town, which means we decide tiny things given that Pullman doesn't allow for a longer than five minute discussion.
So yesterday we (tentatively) decided on some music. This was all Josh's doing, I'm basically tone deaf and he loves music, so I feel this is a good division of labor.
He decided he wants Ray LaMontagne's "You Are the Best Thing" as our first dance, which is fine with me. When we first started dating he decided that Jason Mraz's "I'm Yours" was our song, and we had an unspoken agreement that this would probably be our first dance. Except that, quite honestly, for a pair of not-very-good dancers, it would be kind of a challenge. At least with "You Are The Best Thing" you can bop around and be goofy (more my style).
But "I'm Yours" is still a very nice song, and so I suggested it would be a good walking-down-the-aisle song (especially since I hate the wedding march song, does anyone else hear "here comes the bride, all fat and wide" when that song starts up?). Then we kind of got into a topping each other's ideas war, and he suggested the groomsmen play the guitars for the processional (all his friends are musical too), and I said they should walk down the aisle with their guitars, and that any unmusical groomsmen could pick out a tune on the ukelele.
I think this was some pretty good decision making, except that I might have to bounce a little as I walk down the aisle - "I'm Yours" is a very peppy song.
