jainaI don't think my expectations are that unreasonable. I don't want some crazy $50,000 or even $20,000 bash with 250 people and prime rib dinner and what have you. What I want is simply this:
Me in a pretty white dress and Rogue in a tux, getting married outdoors in a park or garden by one of our friends, with our friends and family there. Then afterward I want to have food-- nothing fancy, I'd love to have a 'make-your-own-sandwich' buffet-- and a cake and a dance floor where we can all dance to my favorite mp3s, no DJ necessary. Basically, I want to have a really fun party with yummy food and good music and all my friends around me.
That's all I want. It's nothing monumental. So why does it seem so impossible to get?
You know what else sucks? I live in San Diego, but I can hardly ever wear sandals because I have to have closed-toe shoes in lab.

Date: 2004-01-23 09:16 am (UTC)I don't know the museum scene in San Diego, but sometimes art museums in particular have pretty garden courts or courtyards and as museums are almost always desperate for money, they can be very obliging about renting. (I'd love to have a wedding in the court of the Freer Gallery in Washington, or at the National Gallery with their conservatory room.) That often comes with really nice architecture for framing photos.
My only qualm with the zoo would be when I think 'zoo' and 'San Diego' I think 'San Diego Zoological Park" and I would be they are NOT cheap.
If you like, I can ask my friend Becca, who lived in SD for three years doing her psych Masters at SDSU if she can think of any off-the-beaten-path places with nice outdoor settings.
And can I assume you like blues? Because if I can one of your presents is going to be finished a lot faster!
