I'll stop talking about this soon, I promise

I'm very, very excited right now.

So, err, after realizing that the Albatroz was probably too small for our needs, me and Cisco took to the web to try and find alternatives, and, boy, there are a lot of beautiful boutique hotels in Lisbon. Unfortunately, however, most of them are so small that they don't even have a dining room, nevermind a restaurant. Ho hum.

There is, however, one. Ever watched Wim Wender's Lisbon Story? If not, you should. If you have, this particular hotel is THAT house. The one where Phillip stays. Restored. That's the view from the terrace up there.

If we get it, it'll be...a dream. A place that's so incredible "us" it's hard to believe. We have to book an appointment to go take a look at the banquet rooms, but if we like them, that's it - we'll stop looking! It's not, as one would say, cheap. But I prefer to maybe cut back on other things (I'm having problems asking my parents for money at 25, although I know they're expecting to pay for it). Things like designing my own invitations. The cardstock might not be as good, but the design will be all ours. And the Swallows theme will be even more adequate, while looking at the Tejo and the White City.

Now I need to think about entrance music. Maybe some Fado? Heh.

What a fab view. All these wedding plans, so exciting, so romantic, Cherry over at Tales of Pixie Wood (she is in my sidebar as will you be when I finally get enough time to update) has also gotten engaged. You two will probably have a lot in common, dresses, flowers, receptions, honeymoons etc.

i like the idea of entrance music of children's choir, no music. very unusual and strange, i think :)
