Another week, another round of Noice-ities. Already!

This week has been full of lots of noice-ities (cupcake decorating class, happy clients, crocheting), and not so noice-ities (car issues, funerals and issues with that still-alcoholic mother).

But the best part of this week has been the fact that we’ve pulled our finger out and set a wedding date! And a ceremony location! And a reception venue!

I know, it’s quite ground-breaking.

Everything has been pretty much set around the reception venue, which is our favourite pizza restaurant that conveniently has a function room:

And thankfully there’s a huge park nearby, complete with Jacaranda tree. Dan’s agreed to the Jaca and I love that we’ll be under the tree of my hometown, the jacaranda city. Jacaranda trees don’t usually bloom until late October, but we’re hoping they’ll make an early appearance in light of global warming and whatnot. And there’s my selfish anti-environment wish for the day.

I’ve created a visual approximation of how the tree might look in October:

There has been MUCH! EXCITEMENT! that we’ve set a date. I was hoping to hide under a rock until the week before, but I don’t think I’m going to get away with that. At all.

But we’re happy with what we’ve chosen so far, and the venue means we can invite family, friends and current/former work mates to join in the fun. C’mon, it’s a pizza party, what’s not to look forward to?

October ninth, twenty ten. Cause that’s how bride blogs say I should write the date ;)
