Today Tony and I parked ourselves in a coffee shop and talked wedding. We've done this a few times... sat down, opened up our computers, and refused to leave until we had worked out at least a handful of wedding details.
Last week we received our sample wedding invitations from our friend who is designing them. They look amazing; I can't believe how good of a job she did! She sent us two different samples, both very similar but with important differences. So today at the coffee shop, we sat down and disected them, word by word.
First of all, there were some small things. A wrong address, and extraneous word, some blanks where we needed to fill in info.
Then there was the font. The invitations have two fonts. One, the one our names are in, is cursivey and loopy and very pretty. The other, the one our parent's names are in, as well as the location, time, etc, is a small, simple, and sleek capitalized font. I like it. It's modern, it juxtaposes with the old-fashioned cursive font, and it looks nice.
Tony does NOT LIKE THE FONT. I didn't realize I was marrying someone who has such an opinion about fonts! He thinks it looks like a robot font. He said, "We are not having a robot wedding. Although if we were, that would be awesome."
He went online to find alternate fonts, and he found a more old-fashioned looking boring font. I said, "Perhaps these fonts are symbolic of our personalities. I like the original one because it is sleek and trendy and cool, and you like this one because it is boring and old-fashioned." He said, "You like that one because it is a robot font, and you are cold as a robot."
Then we laughed for ten minutes. Just sat there in the coffee shop and cracked up.
We had to flip a coin.
I lost.
We found one we both can live with.
