Coffee, oranges, post honeymoon til Mexico City
Current mood: jubilant
Category: Goals, Plans, Hopes
Oh, so the stress of planning a wedding is giving way to just sweet life now. But our beautiful beautiful wedding was worth it, planning a wedding with no budget except the graciousness of friends and especially family. It was to dye fore.
Now I am trying to put a thousand new gifts away and clean up and do dishes and laundries and make the big huge new canopy bed that looks like its out of Marie Antoinette's palace... Over the last few days since our dearly wedded shining Friday, we have unpacked hundreds of pies and frozen them (anyone have the need for one?), we sat in four hours of I-80 traffic on Saturday afternoon, almost the whole time between West Sac and Fairfield, Art learned how to drive Highway 17 into Santa Cruz at 70 or so miles an hour, we saw Mikie Beatty's adorable sparkling Christmas play with Shakespeare Santa Cruz, we ate fresh lobster and steak by crashing waves and smiled for hours at a restaurant on the night-beach, we stayed up with Mikie in his wonderfully wallpapered extravaganza house and drank Maker's and soda and pondered the beauty of the hearts of good actors, we shopped for sexy time fun stuff, we ate at the Walnut Cafe in Santa Cruz-deeelicious and had brew-bar coffee at Santa Cruz Coffee Roasters- also amazingly deeelicious, we drove through pelting rain up Highway 1 and watched lighthouses and surfers in freezing waves, we landed on Haight street in a red bar and took pees and drank yummies with a rad jukebox and scrabble friends, we shopped more, Arthie tried on hippie flower shirts at Aardvarks, we saw more sexy-time stores, we had a picnic on the hood of the Volvo with shrimp and cheese and ham sandwiches abounding and juice and the old broken windmill behind us, we ran to the cliffs at The Cliff House, where we made wishes and threw my bouquet off into the black waters below and the stark white ocean rock and seagulls against the moon night sky cast spells of love forever on us, we trotted past Washington Square Park to Moose's where Suzanne hosted us to the bar and bought us lemon drop martinis and I found out what lemon-chello was and we laughed and decided to stay the night with those beauties off Clement, we met up with Doniella at their house and spoke of boys and love and school and whiskey and then we fell into a deep slumber... We awoke for coffee at the Blue Danube, and then Doniella parted and Arty and I shopped in chinese markets and bought shitloads of Thai supplies and mushrooms and fortune cookies and medicine and then we ate our hearts out at REAL chinese food for breakfast...
and then we drove home and opened hundreds of presents and counted our NEXT honeymoon fund which we have sort of decided will take us to... mexico city!!! So we can run through giant old cathedrals and rent a car to the beach and see ruins and drink cervesas and have tacos pescados and stay up late with Sara m. and maybe even Suze if she decided to live there!
Oh, love. Oh new thirst extinguisher martini makers and stainless steel pots and tea sets and colored margarita glasses and Portos and battery chargers and candlelabra violet candlelights. Oh love. Oh all the things we actually did not have that we got, and no dumb things at all. Every percolator every spatula every beautiful clear glass that will be used by our happy mouths. I used to be anti- wedding registers. Now, I am just anti- any attitude that is anti-!!!!
all our love
in love- "give your love where it is needed you dreamers! the whole world is waiting for your love, and it ain't come from money neither" T.A Schnikkers

So does this mean you're pro-bachelor party now? Especially bachelor parties that are missing only the presence of a beautiful bride to be? So in reality a party that should have been a "congratulations to the both of you, now let's congregate and celebrate the both of you" party?
I hope so.
I love you, Adie. And I love Art. And I love you + Art. You guys are amazing.
