thanks for reminding me! about my eco-friendly wedding...

someone *just* commented about this, and I've been meaning to blog it anyway, so here it goes...comment:

I'm gonna eco-nerd it out here...cuz I fly one of the biggest pollution creaters (especially at high altitude) in the world...

But wouldn't the most eco-friendly be the location where the least number of people need to fly to get there?

Good luck with all the planning. According to any movie I've seen that has a wedding in it...this is the hard part.

your point is very, very, VERY valid. like, extra extremely valid. we discussed it, even. y'see, North Carolina would require travelers to fly from Oklahoma and Colorado and Nova Scotia and Georgia and Florida and California and Texas and who knows where else, but overall, we would guess that the most people are HERE. In North Carolina. And certainly on the East Coast.

however.

A wedding here would mean that the two most important ladies in my life, my Mother and my Granny, would be unable to attend.

And that is simply unacceptable, don't you agree?

Sometimes emotions and practicality *should* win over eco-friendliness, you know? And yes, you can quote me on that. But only if you say "sometimes" and only if you know that really means "in rare circumstances."

So, Tulsa is it. April 17th in Tulsa. :) Once I hear back from my mom (and potentially call in a favor by Jackie or Jessica) we just might have a VENUE, too. A venue where the event fee all goes to charity, even. I'll keep you posted! Yay!!!
