Photography
Okay, so planning a wedding should come with planning a funeral. Oh my goodness there is so much to do and it is not all fun and games. So far we have booked our venue and I think we are about to book our photographer. This is totally a secret so don't tell anyone... we might have a photobooth!!!! Um, I am just a little excited. Also, I am going to apply online to the Crate & Barrel pays for your wedding contest. $100,000 towards a wedding. Wouldn't that be nice? Part of me wants to apply and ask if I can just take it as cash and use the rest for a down payment. Now here I am pretending as if I have won when I haven't even applied...
Also, I was thinking of having a predominant symbol through the theme of the wedding such as an ampersand or a plus sign. Good, bad? Ideas?

Totally unrelated... but not really
2/12/2010
I heard someone named Carnie Wilson talking about struggling with her weight loss online today. Not sure who she is but I think I am suppose to... Anyway, apparently she is well known and morbidly obese weighing over 300 pounds before gastric bypass. After that surgery she was around 150 but two kids later she has gained about 70 pounds. That is not the important part. The important part was when she was talking she said, "It is a constant battle for me. I go from I'm successful. I'm failing, failing. I'm successful. I'm failing." Now, I am not morbidly obese but since I am human I always have room for improvement however what struck me was how painful those words were as they came from her lips: "I'm successful. I'm failing." So ofter in life we only allow ourselves those two settings. By nature I am dualistic so perhaps I fall into that trap more easily than others but in my bones I felt the pain that comes with that roller-coaster ride. It is applicable to relationships, jobs, weight, love, goals, SO MANY things. So often I end up placing so much of my self worth in those successes that I feel like I cannot stand after I fall. I do not believe I am alone in this struggle. For some reason this was so powerful and I knew exactly what she was talking about.

Cake-ing
Since the beginning of our relationship Chris and I have bonded over our love of sweets. Naturally this includes sweets and the FREAKING AMAZING desire to find the best cupcake in the bay area, possibly the world. This has included stops at many bay area cup-cakeries some of whom left us poorer and saddened. Seriously, how are you in business when Betty Crocker and Duncan Hines make something better out of a box and a plastic tube?!?! Anyway, we love cake. More importantly we love ice cream, candy, and frosting. Our love of cake is that, if well done, it makes a phenomenal vessel for frosting.
Now this relates to our wedding because for several months Chris and I would venture to Lucky's on Saturdays for a cupcake and when he proposed he bought my favorite cupcake flavor in cake to use during the proposal. I even got their Belle cake for my birthday! :) There have also been Costco cakes, Buttery cupcakes, home made cakes, ice cream pies... You get the idea. So, how were we going to choose a single cake for the wedding? We decided early on were probably were not. We want cakes and cupcakes that have meant something to us over the course of our time together. A CAKE BAR!!!
(This is also important since Chris loves chocolate and I think it is, at best, okay. I however love white, vanilla, lemon, raspberry, lime, most things pink... You get the idea - we have different tastes.)
My mom is not the worlds biggest fan of this idea but she really has taken it better than I thought. I think she is holding out for a massive take over of my sister's wedding. Watch out Lindsay... Anyway, we aren't alone in eschewing tradition here. We have friends who are having a Sunday bar... yep, ice cream + toppings + true love = happy guests and a great wedding.
Anyway, we are still interested in pursuing the best possible cakes for our wedding so our pursuit of the best cakes and cupcakes continues. I am guessing this pursuit won't end on August 28th... :)
PS If you live in or near SLO and find this blog (who knows HOW!) try Two Little Birdies Bakery in Paso Robles. I have heard it is amazing and the owner is one of the nicest people you will ever meet. This is on our list of places to go. :)
