Don't Tell the Bride

I know I said in my AN at the end of One Hour that I was going to do a video about this, but I ran out of time. So, you get a blog post instead.

The fic I'm currently working on is Don't Tell the Bride, inspired by the TV show of the same name.

Summary: Modern Ozian Weddings is featuring a competition in their latest issue to win your dream wedding- the catch is that EVERY detail is planned solely by the groom. In three weeks. The bride has no input whatsoever. The girls think the idea is funny, the boys think it would be a piece of cake. So, an engaged Elphaba and Fiyero decide to put it to the test. Fiyero planning a wedding? You know you want to read that!

As I said, it is a TV show. Basically as the groom plans the wedding, they have the bride plan the wedding they would plan. It is sometimes hilarious to see how far apart the wedding the bride wants and the wedding the groom actually plans. And on the UK version, the brides are such divas. I swear they make Galinda look easy-going.

This is an episode of the UK show. I've seen some grooms try and plan the wedding they think their fiancee wants, and others just plan the wedding they want. And the most common thing to hear is the groom going "That sounds fun/hilarious". Because us girls all know, weddings are all about fun and hilarity, right? (can you sense my sarcasm?).

So, I'm only on chapter 4 right now. This is the table I'm trying to fill out and plan before I go any further.

Fiyero the duck

So, last week, I got a duckling. He was absolutely gorgeous and I named him Fiyero.

And this morning, I was devastated to wake up and find that he'd died during the night. I'm not sure what happened, but I'm just crushed.

He was the cutest little duck ever. He like peas and cuddles, and only pooped on me twice.

RIP Fiyero.

Fiyero

Today David Harris leaves Wicked after 473 shows. 

Going to miss him as Fiyero, he portrays the role so perfectly! And one of the nicest people I've ever met.

Conversation with my father:

Me: [Telling Dad how I put on twitter that I'd had dinner with Louise Kelly, who knows David Harris (Louise and her cousin are friends with my dad), and that David had replied.]
My sister: Who's David Harris?
Me: He's Fiyero in Wicked.
Dad: Whoever Fiyero is.
Me: The prince? The male lead? Starts off with Glinda, ends up with Elphaba?
Dad: ..........
Me: So, you obviously remember a lot of the show then. [I took my parents to Perth to see it back in August]
Dad: I remember the monkeys.
Me: Oh yeah, Chistery.
Dad: The flying Monkeys that could never possibly fly because their windspan is too small.
Me: *facepalm*

That is what you took from the show, Dad? Not "Defying Gravity" or the Wizard, or the friendship, the love story.... just that the flying Monkeys wouldn't be actually able to fly?

I love you, Dad- but I really think I must be adopted or switched at birth.
