A blog about planning a wedding, why it is like planning a gaming convention and all my (mis)adventures in between
In honour of Valentine's Day, I'm sharing another soppy story. Based on ads on Facebook and elsewhere, it seems many people want to know how you've found the person you're going to marry. I knew because my sweet bunny bestie knew. [WARNING: Story contains pet death]
For some reason, I'm shy to ask for help with my wedding. I lucked out by having a craft group who listened to me being excited to marry Hardus, and then offered to help. When people do this, you should accept their help. But is it okay to accept help from non-guests?
Save the dates aren't just for weddings. Let people know about your event early so their calendars aren't full by the time you invite them.
Whether you celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah, Yuletide, or just a break from your colleagues, I hope you have joyous end of the year. I'm also taking a break from my blog posts and will start my regular posts again January 2018.
I don’t know what it’s like where you live, but in Joburg a lot of small to medium geek conventions have something in common – the venue. There’s also some overlap in venues for the two big Gauteng boffer larps (MEAD Legends and Tales of Teana). You could do a lot of work to find a venue that’s uniquely yours, or you could follow the common sense approach.
I’ve only done the grand venue safari once, but I learned a lot. Here's some of the kinds of venues I found through Google and why I didn't go with them.
[SWEARING] Today is my birthday and proposal anniversary. Here's how I was oblivious and Hardus proposed.
