We had fun today!

We went to Joaquin Miller Park today! Where we plan to get married! It is so gorgeous!

We walked up the Cascades and stood around the fountain and planned out where things are going to be. We can make everyone stand in a circle! Just like we wanted! In front of the waterfall! And there is an outlet right there so it will be really easy to mic it for sound or whatever! And then everyone can walk down to the reflecting pool and get cute food! We can provide picnic blankets and people can eat on the grass, or we can have a few tables set up for people who want to eat at tables. And then the rest of the oval around the pool can be for dancing!

And then while people eat, we can show the Married episode of Hulk on a screen there near the tables! And get Rock Band set up where the ceremony was, and face painting and a photo booth! You will put on false moustaches and get your pictures taken!

When Hulk got Married

And we can walk down the dramatical stairs on either side of the waterfall to the ceremony and make big entrances! And now Annie wants to wear shoes for the ceremony because there is all kinds of twigs and rocks and broken glass! (Hopefully Oakland will clean it up a little better before hand. And MOW THE GRASS. Seriously, it looked like… a… something funny with tall grass… there!) So I guess I am going to get a classier-looking pair of almost-barefoot toe shoes. Like these!

brown shoes with five toes

I would think they’d make white ones, but noooo. My choices seem to be these ones which are nature-like and would at least go with orange and be relatively subtle, OR several shades of blue which mostly all have different-colored toe tips or grey straps across the foot, which is kind of garish and distracting, OR there’s a burnt orange one that is the right color for our wedding but most of the shoe is black. For pete’s sake.

Or I could go barefoot. And just have somebody sweep the area before we use it.

The end!

    Hold on… those aren’t pretty at all! Damn you, different computer screen. On my now-stolen Mac they looked brown and white, but on Annie’s weird PC they look brown and grey. Damn it Vibram stop making part-grey shoes!
