MARCHing Forward, 5-months to Go!!

Chillax moment at Centris

It’s been over a year since Gab & I started filling in the details of our wedding – it’s dreamy prosaicness evolving into lyrical form, stride and solid harmony.  Things that were only starting to shape up then, are, fortunately, in very good shape today! And while we admit that it hasn’t been all roses and strawberry daiquiris, the difficult, near-acrobatic act of balancing full-duty work, family, friends, “quality time,” and condominium affairs with the demands of matrimonial planning are keeping our four feet firmly planted a-ground. I guess things could be a lot easier had we only decided to be less “involved” as several people had advised, or to be less exacting/finicky in other aspects of the wedding that appear trivial to others. But it’s a decision we’ve embraced with much passion and energy the very first nanosecond we took it (or, rather, it took us) – and, like the road-less-traveled, it has made all the difference.  :)

Another productive evening with coffee

As we customarily enjoy our frappes with extra whipped cream, or with extra shots of hazelnut syrup, we want our Day to be extra special too –especially since you don’t aspire of having another attempt at marriage.  Coupled with my perfectionist, passive-aggressive tendencies sway (and Gab’s stream-of-consciousness thought bubbles), I’m pretty much constantly on top of what else needs to be accomplished, and making sure that every detail is well taken care of and accounted for.  And with God at the captain’s lodge downing a few of Gab’s homemade martinis, we want our event to be a blissful celebration of the many ephemeral things and truths we so hold dear.
