Working on the Ceremony
We've started working on the ceremony. What do you think about this for the ring exchange:
One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,
One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them
What? Not appropriate? Well... ok. I guess we'll go with something else.

Holy Crap!
We've been very wedding-oriented lately, after not doing much for the past...several months. In the past couple weeks, we've created registries, Alan got his great-grandfather's ring sized, I've purchased a veil and some jewelry, we've sort of narrowed down the reception foodstuffs, and we've decided on wording for the invitations! Oh, and we have the name of a florist that I need to call tomorrow.
The most exciting thing, I think, is that Alan was able to find a place that could size the ring without harming the inscription inside. This ring is from 1895, you guys, and was a couple sizes too big for Alan's slender finger (is it a surprise that his fingers are skinny? Not at all.). Fortunately, the goldsmith who appraised my engagement ring is, duh, a goldsmith, and was able to preserve the entire inscription. We had worried about it because when I bought my wedding ring, the jeweler at the store said that they might have to cut out part of Alan's ring to properly size it, and Alan was none too pleased. It was quite a boon, therefore, to find a goldsmith.
And the registering is also exciting, but completely overwhelming at the same time (how many plates? How many glasses? Towels? Do we NEED a waffle iron? What about luggage? Chip and dip platters?). Our house is SO tiny that it's hard to consider the future when what we own barely fits. But it is exciting to think that, one day, when we move into a place that's bigger than half a small house, we'll have lovely things that will remind us of our wedding and of these days when our little family is just the two of us, branching off from our respective bigger families.
The Macy's registry website tells us we have 55 days until the wedding. HOLY CRAP.
ALSO, today is the one year anniversary of our engagement in Paris! It's the one anniversary we can agree on. Yay us!
