I love this time of year. It is april, it is warm, lots of school work to do, lots of students who want to visit.
In three weeks criss and I are renewing our marrage vows. It will be a small private ceremony. You know, 100 foreign teachers, 13000 SIAS students. Tiny, cozy.
We have ordered 10 custom fitted tuxedos, 9 custom brides maid dresses, 1 custom white silk wedding dress. There will be more flowers than you can possibly imagine , we have arranged an amphitheatre on campus, we have the minister ( two of them actually, non demoninational using buddhist vows), we have the sound system, we have arranged the hall for the reception, and have dinner paid for for 100, we have a band, and we have a professional photographer. The damage? $2250 US.
Yes you read that right. I am amazed at how far the US dollar goes here.
so far a lot of students are getting very excited about this ceremony. personally I'm getting a bit anxious. I'm worried that criss will say "no" or "go away" or that my fly will be unzipped.
I'm pretty sure this will be very anticlimatic, but I'm worried about it.
I'm also worried about the plans for the future. Criss has not been offered that job contract from tokyo (yet), and we haven't been invited back here. So the waiting game is getting me a bit anxious.
Oh well. Just keep the chin up, and all things will work out, and the renewal ceremony will be beautiful and fun.
But I still worry.
