Wedding Anniversary Plans...
Because our awesome space wedding was at such short notice, we weren't able to have a big family/clan celebration - there simply wasn't enough time to draw everyone together into a big cohesive mass. Our notice to family before the wedding indicated that we would try to have a larger event somewhere near our first anniversary... and the time is already upon us to start organising!
My parents had already planned to be in Portland for the actual anniversary before we could pitch the idea of moving the whole shindig to the East Coast to them. The reason for moving to the other side of the country simply stems from the fact that most of Christine's family lives over there – New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Michigan and so on – and we figured we would get better attendance if we brought the party to them, rather than getting them to all descend upon Oregon.
After to talking to my parents, we determined that they would be flying into Boston from Europe and would be there for three days... just the right amount of time for a party! Once the festivities are done, we can then fly on to Portland with them and show them a good time without having to worry about another party... sounds like a plan, eh?
So now we have our spies in Boston searching for the perfect location for us, while we try to think of a theme for the party and what exactly it is we want to do. It's early days yet, but there's a lot to plan!
