Everyone knows that there is so much involved in planning a wedding. I am already slightly stressed and we didn't even start planning ours yet because there is one overwhelming obstacle to work around: the wheelchair and that the bride (that's me) that goes along with it. So I'll post ideas or problems or problems and solutions and maybe you can offer suggestions and ideas.

The Conditions

I have absolutely no other idea on how to start this one. I know "the conditions" seems a bit strict but you know me and this wedding planning and preparations will be anything but strict.  So let's move on.

The first thing you should know is that I hardly ever call the wheelchair "the wheelchair."  Wheelchair is an ugly word.  The one I use has a name. She is Lola.  That's probably a pretty important thing to remember, I'd hate you to think I was riding on some showgirl's shoulders down the aisle. That would be awkward for everyone involved.

Okay then.  I want Lola pretty much out of sight.  No, I do not want to decorate her. I'd like her next to impossible to notice.

I do not want her in photos.
I do not want her running over my dress, which seems to be a bigger problem than the dancing.
I will not, under any circumstance, "dance" in Lola.  That is not something that I find cute or charming or okay.  I know some people do it but those people are probably not as in as much denial as I am, props to them.

It is taking everything I have not to just go to the courthouse and get hitched there.

Obivously, I have to sit during the ceremony.  Dann will sit too.  And so will the guests.  However, how can I deter people from standing when the bride comes down the aisle? It's kind of awkward to have everyone standing for me for no reason.   What do I do have a sign up saying "Welcome. Enjoy. Please don't stand."

And what about when we leave the ceremony?  The way to the ceremony is easy.  But leaving?

Sigh.

P.S.  I am going to end every post with the following...


Of course I can just head to the J.P.
