As you've now seen from SB's post, we're thinking of May for the wedding, so pretty sure you had that one.
But yea, nothing that clashes, which is what matters, odds are good that there's something big going on for someone, a friend or similar, but can work around that.
Will try to make it in at soe point this week; if I pencil Wednesday down it gives me a target, but no promises.
Election would be over by mid-May, so it'd be nice timing.
We're actually looking at weekday options, just because Saturdays are too damned expensive, but currently we've only got tentative ideas, so, well, we'll see.
It's not like you usually get up to much for your birthday except go get drunk with friends, and given the cross over between our friends, that wouldn't be an issue.
Also, black morning suits look like they will be easy to obtain from Moss Bros... So maybe we could have matching boys? Black morning suits and cravats, and a coloured shirt? In which case, obviously, you'd get purple too... ;)
LOL! Actually, that's a Spanish saying, quite unrelated to weddings in particular, but yeah. I love May weddings. May 2006 saw the wedding of my best friend and he's still on cloud number nine. May 2007 was the wedding of another close friend and she's also very happy. I should think that bodes well for you two :)
I'll do my best as I'd love to meet you too. So far airfare isn't too horrible - about $500-$600.
I didn't make the icon but thanks. Also, I agree - Luna's casting was just fabulous *is saying nothing about being a slightly bubbleheaded Ravenclaw that likely also has a bunny patronus*
May sounds like a plan. Have just seen SB's post - I likes her ideas lots.
On the visiting us front - just drop me a text when you're on the way in as I'd hate it to be the one random night when I'm not pulling a late one. I think we have to sort out rooms with the hotels this week so sorting out who goes where is a definite urgentish plan :)
Mike's birthday is around the sae time as yours, but yeah, not sure. We penciled 17th in as a target, but that was a very vague date, need to decide on and book venues, and get an officiant, and get a registry office booking for roughly the same time, etc etc.
Still, we're good so far, which is nice. We're hoping to avoid clashes with significant events for people that we'd like there, hence the post.
