Sorry folks - been hard at work nailing down some of the deets to the wedding. Blue Eyes and I have been hard at work getting all the venues secured (locked down!) now we're on to the other ephemera, such as photographers, flowers, etc. (approaching lock down!)
Most of the legwork we've done ourselves, with some helpful hints from friends and friends of friends (thanks friendses!), but we've also approached the CVB and they've been nice enough to push out RFPs for some of the services. We've gotten pretty decent leads, however there are a few respondents who are just so not right (ed -- names have been changed to protect the innocent).
Case in point: for "entertainment" I've received proposals from some booking agent who works with a Caribbean steel drummer named Coconut Bob.
Just now I received an email from a guy called Dr. Amazin', a hypnotist who combines his unique brand of mentalism with "comedy and R&B". Why am I thinking Kanye wearing spinny spiral glasses? Apparently the good doctor is "everyone's favorite" so don't even try to book another hypnotist for your big day.
Last but not least, Blue Eyes found someone who may wind up officiating. It's mostly due to the fact that he's very flexible: the ceremony can be short or long, it can be religious or secular, top hats and tails or cutoff jeans, laugh riot or deadly serious. Best of all, he can do it at sea as well as dry land because he's a riverboat captain. I'm not sure how I feel about having the Captain of the Pinafore marry me to my beloved, but we'll work that out in due time.
Meantime, I have to figure out my flowers. If we go with any or all of the above, I was thinking about draping myself with the wreath they use at the Winner's Circle at the track.
