The Bet

With classes finally over (until I start full-time this fall) I have had a little more free time to do other things. Tonight I called Q from work to see what he may need help with around the house on my days off. He said that there wasn't much that he needed from me this week (aside from my love) hahaha. So I teased him suggesting I'd take the free time and plan the wedding. He said that he knew I already had it planned out in my head and I aknowledged that I did. His whole argument to this is that in the next 2+ years I will change my mind weekly. I did admit that a few ideas may change a little but in general I know what I want. So I told him that I would write down somewhere my ideas and we can see how much they change in the 2+ years. Thus bringing us to this post. I am not sure how to sum up the ideas that I have because they are somewhat pieces and images in my head and in magazines.

Here are the general ideas:
Fall wedding
Colors: Chocolate brown and pink
Music: Band for majority of time, Q's laptop mix for when the band breaks
Venue: Downtown Marriott Center City
Ceremony: Same as above
Pictures: (location will be around the city)
Instead of petals thrown by the flower girl my niece will throw leaves
Place cards will be printed on leaves attached to votive candles
Lanterns will be placed along the aisle and then used as part of the centerpieces
The rest of the centerpiece will include fall colored roses and leaves
The cake topper will be a mini love park statue
Table numbers will be pictures of landmarks in philly with the number printed on it
Invitations will be made on cd-roms with pics of us, important wedding information, maps to the venue etc.

Those are the general ideas floating in my head at this point. I hope to talk more with Quoc's Mom when she returns from Vietnam to discuss any traditions she might want observed at the wedding. An option I was thinking was to have a traditional Vietnamese ceremony the night before at the rehersal dinner.

So how many people are beginning to think I'm a little crazy?
