Also, I really need to get shoes. Why do all the bridal shops sell the same five pairs of shoes? And why do they all cost $110 a pair?! And why can't I find any open-toe shoes with wide heels that don't look like this:
And why do all the awesome shoes have paper-thin heels like this
that are certain to trap me in the soft grass as I walk down the aisle?That aside, I am WAY excited about the honeymoon now that Ian is in charge of planning it. I am going to drink mai tais in my bathing suit on a sunset cruise around Molokai. I will snorkel and NOT require professional rescue because I wanted to spot a shark, I will lay on the hot sand and probably get a heinous sunburn, I will eat fish tacos and attempt to stand on a surfboard. I will do nothing that has anything to do with work of any kind. I can't wait.
It will be quite the welcome break following all of this wedding stuff, which is somehow becoming less exciting and creative and more tricky and stressful. Like the shoe thing. I am not amused to find that my primary concern as of late has to do with foot adornment.
Oh! I met Page Bender, our florist/decor planner and I am totally in love. She is going to make our wedding so beautiful and so US. She knows exactly the atmosphere we want and is going to pull it off SO much better than we could by ourselves. She is awesome.

Hey! It wasn't a professional rescue, young lady! It was more of a semi-pro rescue, really.
On the music...some ideas for you to think about are coming your way via email. Call me and I'll sing you a bit of any of them if you haven't heard them. Most are pretty famous.
Shoes: (Allow the old balding lady in tennis shoes to assist you. She can help.) Why do you need heels at all? Would you consider flats? It's August, SANDALS wouldn't be out of the question. (...for someone who is doing "non-traditional",
...you sound a little Stuck In A Box.) Who cares WHAT you have on your feet? It's YOUR wedding. And by association, YOUR feet. BE FREE.
Honeymoon thoughts: I want the 30 second video of you actually EATING a fish taco (and swallowing)..oh. I forgot. It's probably the lesser-known but equally delicious Hawaiian Tofufish.
I like the sandal idea, Lisa.
Also, why is the idea of you eating a fish taco strange to your mother. Do your parents think you are a vegetarian? I have seen you eat much meat, especially fish.
