A rush

I think one of the unspoken rules of the wedding industry is to quote a low price to hook you in, and then casually mention that the rates just recently went up. So, Ericka and I are expecting the cake lady to go up, the photographers, the florists, and I wouldn't be surprised if our guests charged us an attendance fee. Anyhow, I suppose we are not the only ones who have to go through this these days. Yet, the more I think about the meaning of a wedding, I suppose there is no way around the grandeur expectations. Of course, you want your family and friends to be there to witness your wedding, you don't want it take place just anywhere. Everthing begins to take on meaning. The way things look, the way things taste, the way things sound will reflect upon Ericka and I, as well as our families. Like Ericka said in her entry, I want the wedding to keep its sacredness which I'm sure it will as long as we keep the important thing in mind and that is we are actually going to be married after the ceremony is over and we will have a new life together. enough wedding talk for now

Im in the middle of the 7th Harry Potter book and it is just as engaging as the others. Ericka read through hers in two days. We were supposed to read at the same pace but now I see how foolish I was to think I could keep up with her. Anyhow, the book helps me to esacpe from reality which is a good thing sometimes. I find myself wanting the story to be true. Anyhow, my friend Jimmy thinks we are witnessing literary history first-hand. It makes me wonder what I will get into next. First it was Lord of the Rings, then Potter. What will come next? I'm glad we have the last two movies to look forward to.
