The Five Minute Post: Cool People

I have five minutes left on my break. I am writing very, very fast.

So I had a rough weekend (well, only as far as wedding planning and P:P goes) because I've misplaced my notebook full of contacts and to-do lists. The last blog entry reflects my sense of panic and doom on that score. But I gotta say, we've been having some great fun with cool people.

We met with Adam Pap, our lead 'people' photographer for the big day, and he's a total sweetheart, not to mention a super talented photographer. He took a photo of us at our meeting and I'll post it soon (I have to shrink it down so the blog will accept it.) Adam seemed nervous, and maybe that's fair in the case of meeting most brides and grooms, but given our project and how generally laid-back we are as a wedding-planning-couple, it was totally unnecessary. I'm feeling really good about Adam, and we're going to do some fun engagement shots with him, too!

We are also meeting tonight with Amy from Splendid Events (links to follow, don't worry). Amy will chat with us tonight about being our new wedding planner; even though we haven't met yet, we've been chatting over twitter and I gotta say, there's a sense of peace that comes when you have a professional on your side that is absolutely priceless. Amy's excited to work with us because we're looking for a FUN wedding, and we're excited to work with Amy because she understands the importance of a green crinoline.

Through Twitter, we also met GeekSweets, and I don't want to give it all away right now, but all I'll say is, as dreamed of, there will be macarons at my wedding. :)

Oh, and Kate...Kate of Flights of Fancy has been a sweetheart. She was first in line after my last entry to offer me a refuge, and she has been tons of fun to tweet with over the last while, about things like murderous desires and Mr Square from the Mr books.

Oh, and Brian...I got a lot of Bri time this weekend, and he just fills me up with goodness like it's sunshine and vanilla icing. I have gotten through my morning smiling to myself, because I keep picturing him spraying his cologne in the air and running through it with his arms flailed backwards, like a ballerina.

Good people. I love it. There are so many special gifts that this wedding project has brought to us, and to me...the people are an unexpected bonus.
