Today I bought wedding magazines.

This was a mistake.

You want to know why this was a mistake? Well, I'm going to tell you. BECAUSE THE WEDDING INDUSTRY IS COMPLETELY BRIDE-ORIENTED AND IS NOT HELPING ME AT ALL.

I suppose this is good in its way, because it gives us license to invent our own traditions and make our own decisions, but on the other hand . . . I would really like to do this right.

At this rate you lot will be lucky if you get a cup of water and a slice of cake at the reception, I hope you realize that.

And you're only getting cake because Lorne wants cake.

That is a nice idea.

**grins** You can celebrate and be casual, too...

True, true . . . but even so there are plans to make. When I get to thinking about it I know I want to dance with Lorne, for instance, and I know we're going to have cake, but exactly what music? What kind of cake?

*sighs*

These details are going to bury me.

Hm...

Cake I can maybe suggest... I know that the two of you are both quite fond of apricot. A very light lemon cake with an apricot jam filling could work...

As for music - there has to be some song that's symbolic to the two of you. For the remainder of the evening, a good DJ should be able to listen to what you like and provide a good mix of songs for you and your guests to enjoy...

**soft smile** You'll manage, Ianto. I think it's all just very overwhelming right now, yes? Baby steps. At least you're thinking, right? Take a day or two and just think - don't worry right now if it will all come together or not - you can modify and make changes once you have ideas in your head.

There are a great many songs that have meaning for us. That's part of the trouble, trying to pick just one.

I'm always thinking about it since we decided. I just don't talk about it much because I don't want to annoy everyone. Lorne gets it every day.

**grins** Well, I'm sure that not all of them are really good for dancing to, ne?

**smiles** Well, I can't speak for everyone else, but I honestly don't mind listening if you want to talk about it...

That depends on what sort of dancing you want to do, I suppose.

I may post about it more, then.

True.

So in that case, why choose one song? A variety of music for a variety of dancing.

**grins** Do so. It might make you feel less overwhelmed, too.

I want a lot of dancing. We'll need a lot of songs.

I think I will, particularly since when I do everyone has such good ideas for us to consider. You lot are doing a lot of my planning for me.

**grins** Who needs a professional when you've got us? ~_^
