I don't remember exactly when, but one morning my mom showed me an article in our local newspaper of the Neon Boneyard in Las Vegas and I immediatly fell in love. Basically, its a collection of old Las vegas neon signs, in my eyes, perfect for a photoshoot. So what's a better occasion than my wedding day!?
So after the ceremony we will be heading over there to take some pics.
Ok, so basically ever since I watched My Girl 2 and Never Been Kissed I wanted to be kissed to the song Don't Worry Baby by The Beachboys. (Yes, I am aware that i have weird fantasies), so I was set on this being my wedding song, since that would guarantee me getting kissed to this song.
Well, but this is not only my wedding and Manny wants Till I kissed You by The Everly Brothers and since that song doesn't completely suck, I agreed to it.
But honestly, our real wedding song is Just Like Heaven by The Cure just because it's an amazing song, even though it's kind of sad. The same goes for There's A Light That Never Goes Out by The Smith (a close runner up). It just kind of has too much death in it to be a good wedding song. But I love both of those and think that they are beautiful songs.
Really, this whole song thing is the only reason I'm sad that we're not having a big wedding with a reception, because then I would have the power of controlling about 3 hours (minimum) of music!! A dream come true. But I guess I'll have to just do that for our Bonfire Party.
So, most people do Save The Date postcards / Engagement announcements. We've been going back and forth between whether we want to do that or not. I really want to since I think its fun to design Save The Date cards and it's a cool keepsake. You can have more fun with these cards than with the invitations, but also, they are an additional expense.
I looked into a few options and checked out Costco's offers (Costco is a store where you can only shop if you are a member. There are member fees, but because of that, a lot of things are cheaper - also custom postcards etc). Here are a few designs I like. Please let me know what you think.
The colors can be changed for all these designs.
Also, what do you think about having the date in the actual picture??
The Where and When So, I've been planning my wedding for a while now. Probably over a year. We decided on getting married in Vegas, since it wont be a big wedding either way (especially since my parents probably wont be able to attend, and if they can't come, who else really matters!?) and it's just less stuff to deal with. Oh, and I REALLY wanna have pictures taken at the Neon Boneyard (more on that later), which is kinda located in Vegas . . . . I researched some different chapels and definitly want to get married outside. Eventually, I landed on the Viva Las Vegas Chapel (yes, ... I know ... Viva Las Vegas ... so classy. lol). First I was thinking about the Garden Chapel, but eventually decided on the Garden Gazebo
Yay, this will be us!!
What I found out about this place as well, is that they film all ceremonies and then you can watch it online, either live or afterwards. Super cool, since i was thinking about having my parents watch live via skype.
Oh, and btw:
The Date is May 21st, a tuesday, don't ask me why, I just like that date for some reason and it feels right!! :) (And this wedding is definitly not gonna follow a lot of traditional rules, it's really just our chance to do whatever the heck we want .. haha)
