I'm happy that "Doug and Elly's Bohemian Wedding" reality show was cancelled. Mind you I allowed Doug the creative freedom to express his ideas all the while knowing full well that unless he was going to take action on the idea it wouldn't happen. I also thought it was a bad idea and a waste of our writing talent. We have proven to be a good team when it comes to writing plays, keynotes and press releases. A reality show would have been too tacky.
The other problem I had with it was that we are NOT Bohemians. Yes, we are a bit of an off beat couple, however we're not starving artists, poets or painters. And it's not the '50's or 60's. I may have been a faux hippie back in the 60's but today there are many other labels that people who care to label people with like to call me. Before you get ahead of yourself, "crazy" is not one of them. No, I will not label myself anything other than Doug's partner or when I feel like being a bit fancy shmancy, his fiance.
I talked to our caterers last week and it all sounds so delicious but a little on the tricky side for accommodating those special vegan-ova-lactose free-low fat-low sugar-low sodium diets. The cake is now something that I am thinking about. I hate wedding cakes, especially all the fuss that goes into them so I have decided not have one. Doug and I agree on this and we will have something else just as delicious. And of course we'll be accommodating all our friends and relatives on vegan-ova-lactose free-low fat-low sugar-low sodium diets.
Doug seems to want to wear a tux with his Converse runners. I'm fine with it. I find it a little odd that such a chilled out casz kinda tie-dye guy wants to squish and suffocate his abdomen with a cumber bun. But hey ... whatever blows your skirt up. Go for it Doug! As for me I have no idea what I will be wearing. The question of whether or not I will wear white is an ouee from the past. When I married my children's father, his sister was appalled that my dress was white. Her reasoning was that I was living in sin and I wasn't a virgin. My mother had a silly white dress made, a short one with long sleeves and a ridiculous silk Peter Pan colour with a little bow. My former sister-in-law, bless her, couldn't prevent what she saw as an absolute atrocity. She got married about a week before we did. Her former mother-in-law rebelled, turning up all in black with a little pill box hat and a black veil covering her face. Luckily this is in the past and we have both happily moved on to better things/partners. Since we will be getting married in the summer I think white might be nice. It all depends on what's at Winners that week.
