Married.

We getting married is!

I was going to have Annie kick this off with the story of us getting engaged, but she is going to sleep. So instead I will scatter confetti-like thoughts at you!

I have been collecting ideas for our wedding for like probably since before we admitted we were dating. I wasn’t sure whether I wanted to wear a dress or a suit or something else, but then I happened across this and I was like, that is my dress:

The dress I want

Except with a green ribbon. Our wedding colors are like leaf-green (or maybe just all shades of green – it is going to be outside, after all) and that dark burnt orange color you get right at the horizon at the end of a sunset. (That one was Annie’s choice. She was really excited about a sunset. I think it was on the way to Austin and Nikki’s wedding in October, actually.)

We also both hell of want this cake, but… more to look at than to eat. Perhaps someone could recreate it as an entertaining sculpture to look at forever.

what, just cause I'm Italian?! racist.

Isn’t it be-yoo-ti-ful?

We could, of course, probably get the Princess/Mario cake topper. I’ve noticed that cakes don’t seem to have toppers anymore. Austin: no topper. Yael: no topper. Daniel: no topper. Huge cake gallery at theknot.com: nary a topper in sight.

Maybe we could just put a very tiny robot panda on the cake.
