Preparing a wedding :)

I realised that it would maybe be moer interesting to read about how Our preparation is Going (rather than what you need to do, cause you probably already know that yourselves..)
So here it is : (or will be)

the STORY OF OUR PREPARATION: Love, panic, and fruity colors, in a wonderful mix

So, you read how we met, dated, and got engaged.. now lets jump a few moths into present day..

2010, june 16
I, Robin, am born of goodly parents and am happy to have a even better wife, so off i went to italy, now a little more than a week ago, I finally arrived in this dry sunny country, known to man as "italy" (or tha country with da pizza, eller var de dapuzzo de hette?), and am spending my days enjoying fresh, hot air ( no matter how illogical that sounsd..) and lo before us is the great task to plan, prepare, and endure the Days of Happiness. I wouldnt be surprised that if I would ask wedded people about this period in their lives, many ladies would smile and look back at this time as the most wonderful, happy, but stressfull time in their lifes. The guys?.. yea I wouldnt be surprised if they would look up to the mercifull heavens and start making symbolic comparisons with the annoying pretalk before games in the worldcup. lets just roll the ball and head towards goal, (but then reluctantly remembering that doing so, soon a whole squadron of kids will run after you..)

So How are We doing? Aurora is studying for her exam, so I am trying to do what I can, giving her Love, massage, and chips to support her. every now ad then I wish I could study in her place and transfer the knowledge to her head in her sleep, so she doesnt have to deal with this very interesting dilemma of choosing between the schoolbooks and running around from place to place with a crazy swede, trying to get things done. but despite this almost inexplicable massss of sterss in her head, she wakes up everyday with a smile, happy to be one step closer to the happiest day in her life.

As for me, I wakl around trying to keep myself busy, planning, excercising, waiting for aurora to take a paus from studying (thats the highlight of the day) and sometimes dreaming that i could fast forward time a little until the honeymoon in august. I am also spent many days wondering "what if we would have decided to get amrried in June instead" today i got a special offer from lufthansa that they give out free honeymoon to all couples that are getting married in June 2010. yeees I Wiiish.. and just to make sure that the Irony is specificly pointed at me, they made sure to make it clear that the honeymoon is for going to Italy. cruel irony. But waiting all the long way to august doesnt only mean that our suffering is prolonged, it also brings a lot of time to prepare, and to get things done well (yes i know.. in to months i'll probably go back in time to mysself today and hit myself in the head with a shoe and say "time goes faster than you think").


So: What have we done so far? Summary: went to the place in agerola, decided to move it a few hours(due to heat). we talked with the catering guy, and ordered most of the food, he's nice so we hope the food also is nice. We also fixed the "bomboniere" for you who wonder what that is its an interestingly strange, but nice tradition, more details as you come and see for yourself. we went to a store to try out some suits for me, and found something interesting... secretsecret. about auroras dress, her friend angela came to sow some more on her (auroras) weddingdress.. I was forbidden to look. and i patiently waited outside the room (with my eyes very close to the door, trying out my xray vision, apparently xrayvision doesnt work on weddings.. which after some thinking, is fully understandable and logic)

time to go, buy some chips :)

after a Lot of work, discussion and more discussion we could Finally agreee with the commune people of how the papers should look concerning applying for mariage.. aparently they hadnt seen an apostille before. I cant really blame them, neither had I until I realised I needed to get one.. to make a long story short lets say that within 5 italian burocracy poeple there were 4 diferent opinions, diciding between papers, stamps, embassy here and embasy there.. luckily they had at least something in common: that the papers I had were not enough.. and even more luckily, All of them were Wrong. welcome to the world of papers and stamps when it all makes sence in the End. I'm getting married soon, and now even the commune agrees. :)

The weddingdress is Dooone! at least so they say.. I am not allowed tos ee it, and i am happy.. it'll be a great privileged to se it first when its on the girl that very soon will be my wonderful and beloved wife. however they (the ladies) did have the great courtesy to let me se the Other dress, the one she will wear later the same day before going home.. very pretty.. but they say, if this one is pretty then wait until you see the White one! o yes, I am waiting..
yesterday, after a lot of discussing how we will all fit in the small space given to us, I decided to get a real vision of the wedding so i (after getting measurments of the place) draw up a mapm and cut out in paper all the little tables... and we realised there is more lace than we thought.. so hopefully All will fit, without squeezing itno eachothers butts too much. good good.
today its friday, time for a date with my lovely wife to be. tjohooo, the higghlight of the week.
