Whew....

So as you may have heard from a certain other blogger, I got married a couple of weeks ago. It is crazy how much planning goes into a wedding for about 12 hours of activities. I compared it to putting up a play. It takes about 6 months of planning in total for a production including all the marketing, money raising, pre-planning, casting, rehearsing, and teching. It is remarkable how close that is to what we did for our wedding. We had to "cast" the people who would be in the wedding. We had to raise enough money to be able to DO the wedding. We had to even rehearse and tech the thing. All this took about 9 months of planning. The big difference is that you get at least 10 runs in of a play. This whole thing was over in a day and a half (including the rehearsal dinner). What's even more weird, is that I was equally as tired after the whole ordeal. So I propose this, Twin Cities:

After every show someone should pay for everyone to go on a "Honeymoon" to recoup. How about it?! Isn't that exactly what everyone needs after a show? About a week to rest and get your minds back from the fry-zone? There should be a grant out there that would give us money to do this. I'll check on it and get back to you...
