Something Borrowed Something Blue

While visiting my parents in Indianapolis mother presented me with a little gift. There were two items, one a little blue stone on a pin. And the second, on loan, a small perfume bottle that belonged to a family friend. There are also three dresses hanging in her closet that we are hoping to try on if we can manage to kick the men out for a little while this morning. (The first shipment had some possibilities but no real winners.) So our untraditional wedding kit continues to build with a few essential traditions.

So, this is the tester EWK logo.  After much review and collaboration with my most awesome fiancé, I believe that this could work.  Why a logo?  Why the heck not!?!?  Gretchen and I must ensure that all the details are covered!

The EWK

Yes, as Gretchen has already put it, we're engaged and extremely happy!  

That said, we're not in any hurry to tie the knot immediately, and what pleases us the most is the idea that we can wake up some morning, put on some nice clothes, and share that moment together in whatever crazy location or situation we feel appropriate.

Because we are in need of a portable solution for those very basic wedding supplies, it has been determined that we need to create the "Emergency Wedding Kit" (or EWK for short...).  

What basic accessories?  Well, here's the current list:

Rings                        (obviously!)

Camera                     (we take LOTS of pictures)

Wedding License      (probably important)

Pen                           (to sign said license)

Wine                         (a NECESSITY)

Wine Glasses           (hey, we have some class!)

Corkscrew                (drinking wine is key here)

Now I'm a sucker for a well designed casing solution with custom foam, so make no mistake - this thing will look good, withstand a bear attack, and be waterproof in the event of a chance flood in Phoenix.

So, whether we find ourselves on a cruise ship in the Mediterranean, skydiving over Brazil, camping in a lava tube in Hawaii, or staying the night in a monastery in Tibet, we may just decide that that's the moment.  And when it happens, whenever that shall be - our happiness will know no bounds, and we'll be ready to seal the deal with our EWK.
