happiness is a warm meal

Alan's parents came down today, bearing a big box of kolache, and we ate lunch at the County Line over off 2222. It's very beautiful and has the best barbecue sauce ever. I see why people get married there. It was a lovely afternoon all in all, and his parents are such lovely folk. His mom hugged me and whispered, "We like you."

Total and utter relief and happiness because every step I take makes this feel more and more like the right decision.

Called Hana at last to tell her the good news, and she was absolutely thrilled to hear it. At first she thought I was marrying Gene and we laughed when we realized the mistake. Going to introduce her to Alan sometime soon after the boys go back to school. She is vastly amused by how perfect it is that I'm marrying a Texas Czech.

Alan's father and I bonded over our shared Longhorn-ness and he knows a little bit of Czech. His mother and I discussed pies and baking. I think I'll fit in well here. Now we just have to hope my family adores him as much.

We're thinking December now. There's a big box of kolache on the counter. I'm in love.

Awwww, good relations with the future in laws makes everything so much easier!

What sort of venue are you thinking about? I have a book with all sorts of cute ideas for when one has to reserve space with only six months or so, though I imagine things arent' quite as insane in Texas as LA. Then again....

We're going to check out some of the bed and breakfast places around the Hill Country area, the Guadalupe River Park, some of the pretty places in town... we don't have anything specific in mind, so we've just been taking suggestions of places where friends have been married and such like. I'm hoping the off season wedding will make finding a place a bit easier.
