Marty gets Religion

1. Marty has gotten ordained by the Universal Life Church. Over 20 million ministers ordained since 1959 can't be wrong! And it's free. :)

2. I just officially requested the Marriage License Application Packet from the Whatcom County Auditor. They are going to mail it to me, I should get it Wednesday. Then we have to fill it out, sign it in front of a notary, and send it back with a check for $63. Somehow, this feels like a Really Big Deal.

3. The fabulous James Guzman has agreed to perform the musical accompaniment for the processional and recessional parts of the ceremony. Something classical, maybe a little flamenco-ish, on guitar. Abe Davis may also be a part of this. Our wedding just got about 29% cooler.

4. We've decided what to do about cupcakes - I'm going to get them made by the co-op so they'll be mostly organic (and super yummy), and then Aimee and Keeley and possibly some of the other ladies will decorate them on site. That way we get organic AND fancy frosting both, without committing any of our friends to days of slavery in the cupcake mines. Instead, they get just a few hours of hard labor in the frosting factory, which everyone says builds character.

5. My mom has bought her dress. It is beautiful, of course. VERY Mother-of-the-Bride. :)

i love frosting. can't you tell?

james and abe will make a fantastic wedding music duo. suggestion: find a recording of something you like and have them listen to it. they don't have to play exactly that, but left up to them, you may get slayer or modest mouse. not saying i don't enjoy either of those. right place, right time? there's a time and place for everything and it's NOT addie's wedding? how does that saying go?

James suggested Pachabel's Cannon. That's his first choice. No Sleep 'til Brooklyn is the second choice.

Pachabel's cannon would be nice. It's really the only peice of classical music that I know the name of, anyhow. I'm such a musical moron... :)
