i carry your heart with me

The wedding planning marches on.

I absolutely love it. We put down the deposit at our ceremony/reception site– Bates Mansion. (www.batesmansion.com) It’s absolutely beautiful/gorgeous and is perfect for the type of wedding Dave and I are planning. We’ll have the entire place to ourselves for four days and three nights…. it’s going to be a fabulous party! And I’m sure there will be many references to Psycho, but that’s aight.

It does kind of freak me out though… on March 3, 2007 I’ll be married. MARRIED!!!!!! I think may have always had the lingering belief that I would end up never getting married and just living with a houseful of animals. Now it looks like I’ll be married in a house full of animals.

I definitely could gush about the wedding for hours, but I won’t. Just a few more paragraphs.

The things that i"m most excited about (besides marrying the man I love) are: the wedding party attire (the mens in black tuxes, with gold vests and the ladies in either black or gold dresses), the flowers! (irises, lavendar, ox-eyed daisies, and pussy willow), and the centerpieces! (flowerpot  vases with baby’s tears (a green plant) and candles), the music!

We’re still looking for  band to play at the wedding. I would really love to have a funk band. I saw the funk collection this summer and I loved them… but we’ll see.

Fortunately for me I have the most boring job(s) in the world, so I can focus on wedding planning for a good eight to ten hours a day… when I’m not participating in crisis intervention that is. I just applied for a new job— let’s hope I get it. I really need a change of pace already…. (sad isn’t it.)

i carry your heart with me(i carry it in
my heart)i am never without it(anywhere
i go you go,my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing,my darling)
i fear
no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want
no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true)
and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that’s keeping the stars apart

i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)
