Waiting for that bell to ring

Dear future hubster,
maybe the Universe sent me to so many weddings this year so I can revisit my revolutionary ideas about my - our - own wedding.
And so I have been. Revisiting, that is. My earlier idea of "let's just go to the city hall you and I and keep it very low-key". I still want it low-key, but maybe not at the city hall. Can we deploy the officiant to some intimate location where we are not rushed? Actually, can we get somebody who knows us to officiate it? You know, the person who would make fun of both of us but would also be touched that they get to do it, because clearly we were made for each other, and we're cute and gorgeous and there are a whole bunch of beautiful people in attendance, so they also get to be a little nervous.
As for the beautiful people in attendance: you were right, I actually don't want it to be just you and me. Sometimes I forget about the importance of simply showing up, but then I'm reminded of it again when I least expect it. And I rarely ever forget about the beauty of sharing, especially when it's joy we're sharing. I have so many feelings that I can barely contain them on an average day, and will certainly experience significant overflow on that day. Better to have people around to take it in.

Plus I want them to hear our lovely, funny, nerdy, silly, serious, emotional, corny, witty vows. I may have drafted mine already. Together with the playlist.
