Brian and Melissa

With all this wedding talk, it’s funny how I haven’t even given one thought to one topic: Our honeymoon. Quite honestly, I have no idea where I’d want to have one!Most of my friends keep suggesting Europe, but the truth is, I really don’t have much desire to go there. I think I would like to visit England where I could visit some of my distant relatives, but I’m not sure our Honeymoon is the time to do that. Melissa suggested Japan at one point, but I’m not sure I want to visit any more big cities for a while, and I don’t think she does either. To me, a nice vacation in Japan would look like this:

Not so much like this:

There’s always also Australia, Israel, Iceland, Hawaii, Vegas, Vegas, Vegas, etc.

So we’re a bit frustrated, but feeling a bit better nonetheless. Our ‘real’ wedding date was supposed to be October 5th, but that got shot down real quick because it was Jewish holidays. Turns out October 5th is fine… but too late now. I had a total freak out a few days ago, I just got really sad… it’s been so long and we’ve just been talking about the same stuff over and over and over again, and it’s so difficult because we just wanna book something, anything and get started and then it can kinda die down for a bit.

It’s so hard, because really all we want to do is get married and be together… we don’t care about the wedding, we never did. So it’s just making me really sad that we can’t even get married, at least that’s what we both feel like. And like, this is supposed to be one of the best times in our lives, and so far it’s been one of the worst. I’m so on edge, and angry and sad and frustrated all at once.

Neither of us can stand anything. But, I think we’ve made some progress and hopefully Steam Whistle will get back to us today so we can book it.Booking a venue like Steam Whistle, or anything for that matter, is really going to cheer us up and make us happy that we got engaged all over again.

Everyone keeps saying ‘This is when you start fighting, you aren’t going to agree on anything and the fighting will start. Just try and stay strong together.” Which I think is hillarious, because Brian and I are not fighting at all, we never have and we sure aren’t going to start now. But we’re both sad, at least we’re sad together. haha.

So last night we met with this Rabbi, who’s kinda cool but not as cool as Eva. We have to get some blood test because Jewish people decided to inbreed and now we can be carriers for some crazy Jewish disease when we have kids. Whoa.. Whoa “when we have kids”??? I know… I was so weirded out when I heard it too. We never ever ever talked about kids or any “grown up” stuff. hahah. We’re Brian and Melissa! We just mess around, play video games, spend too much money on crap, and go to Vegas. Who said anything about kids?? Whatev, I know we’ll have kids… but no one ever mentioned it before, and if they have then it was just like whatever, a random statement. But it sounded so for real and totally possible now that we’re getting married, which totally weirded us out. At least it weirded me out… I dunno about Brian, i’ll find out.

Ok I was wrong, it didn’t weird him out.

Melissa: Did it weird you out that that guy was talking about us having kids for real?
Your Orange Prince: it doesn’t weird me out too much
Melissa: why?
Your Orange Prince: I think about us having kids all the time
Melissa: Not for real though
Melissa: really?
Your Orange Prince: well I picture situations in my mindYour Orange Prince: like me reading stories and setting up a train set…
Melissa: Awwwwwwwwwww!!!!

Ok, now I feel like a jerk.

I think it’s funny how people are reacting to the the idea of us getting married in Las Vegas.

There are those people that are really really against it, saying that it’s cheesy, tacky, and then we find out that they haven’t even been to Las Vegas! Then, there are those people that see nothing wrong with Vegas, but just don’t want us to get married there because of their busy schedules, or that they can’t afford it, so they wouldn’t be able to attend. And that’s completely understandable.

What shocks me most is when I hear from people out of the blue–people I haven’t spoken to in years–who tell me things like “hey I read your blog and you mentioned Vegas and I just want to let you know I think it’s a fabulous idea,” and how they “were at a wedding there recently and it was lots of fun and really classy.” These surprise people make me smile, because they go to Vegas for the first time, and they see other people getting married there, and there’s an understanding that develops between them and us as to why we want to go there so bad.

What also makes me laugh, is the fact that we’re even still talking about getting married in Vegas in general. Melissa and I wanted to get married there when we first went there a long time ago, but in the past year we’ve come to the realization that it isn’t practical because we want lots of family and friends to be there. But here we are today, with a poll on the right side of this page, asking people if they’d join us in Vegas to get married. And a variety of different answers.

With all the trouble we’ve been having booking this wedding, suddenly Vegas doesn’t seem like a pipe dream anymore. In all likelihood, it won’t happen, but it’s funny when we talk to people–who were always against us going to Vegas–about all the disagreements that have gone on, and suddenly they’re all like “Wow…. hmmm… yeah, you know what? Just get married in Las Vegas!!” Hells yeah!!

“How about you don’t, ladies and gentlemen, Scotty Don’t.”
