| | Comments (0)
This page will eventually contain details of our event. Here's what we know so far:

  1. We want to celebrate this event with our circle, our tribe, our family and friends.
  2. We're planning a (three-day) weekend-long fĂȘte with a ceremony in the middle.
  3. We've narrowed the site to one of two, both near Monterey/Carmel
  4. The ceremony itself will most likely be Saturday afternoon
  5. We hope you'll come for the whole event, but choose what is most comfortable for you
  6. We're really excited about this!

A Breath of Fresh Air!

This week I was teasing Chiara about wanting to incorporate some of the ideas from this Steampunk Wedding. But then we poked around Offbeat Bride and realized that while Steampunk might not be our brand of freak, we had definitely discovered a tribe that railed against the Wedding Industrial Complex at least as much as we did. There are some wonderful ideas here and are such a relief after leafing through Modern Bride and its ilk.

We've already ordered the book, and look forward to reading it!

(And, to be fair, I do like some of the aesthetic aspects of Steampunk. Just not enough to incorporate it into our wedding. Especially when Chiara doesn’t share that sense.)
