Three Adjectives
November 7th, 2007 @ 2:46 pm by Miss Chickadee
I’m happy to say that after all my initial trepidation, we have chosen a DJ! Unfortunately, Mr. Chickadee wasn’t able to make it to the first meeting, but his mom and I did sit down with Ben Miller, of Premier Productions, and we were really impressed. We ended chatting for well over the allotted hour, and I was almost late for my engagement pictures!
One thing we discussed at length was what sort of tone I wanted to set at the reception. Ben asked me to identify three adjectives to describe the reception of our dreams. I have to admit, he sort of put me on the spot and with my background in literature and writing, I came up with some pretty lame adjectives. Still, I maintain that I’d like our reception to embody these three things:
1. Fun - I don’t know anyone that doesn’t hope for a “fun” reception. For Mr. Chickadee and I, specifically, we want our reception to be like one great big party! We want our guests to dance the night away, which requires a great DJ like Ben to play some of our favorite tunes.
2. Emotional - In addition to a great party, that day will be the celebration of joining our lives in marriage! I want to feel a wide range of emotions that day - from excited to romantic to nostalgic to absolutely ecstatic. I want my guests to experience those emotions as well.
3. Unifying - I take the term “tying the knot” pretty seriously… Mr. Chickadee and I are literally tying a knot between our families. I want all our family and friends to get to know each other and bond that day. I want everyone to feel included and special on our day.
What three adjectives would you use to describe your dream for your wedding day?

This is a good idea. I think coming up with three adjectives says a lot about a persons wedding…kind of like a verbal inspiration board.
Intimate, elegant, and homegrown. Kind of an odd mix I suppose, but then our theme was Elegant BBQ.
Yeah, our three words were “whimsical, beautiful, and fun.” The adjectives really helped focus us, and our wedding was all three of these!
(Now that I reflect back on the wedding, I think “personal” would be another important word, but I think it just kinda ended up being understood.)
Hm I’m gonna steal from everyone else.. personal, accommodating, fun. Is it weird that I chose accommodating? I just really want people to feel comfortable. Maybe comfortable is what I meant. I’m all over the place! This is hard!
We said fun, personal, fun again. I think we got that.
I want mine to be charming, fun & unforgettable

About Me: My parents always said I should wait until graduating college before getting married…Mr. Chickadee and I finally graduated this past spring and we didn’t waste any time getting straight down to business. It’s been four long years, but the wedding planning is finally underway!
Classic, Timeless, Unforgettable. I think I must be doing a great job of getting that across in my theme, because every florist I met with, after hearing what I was looking for, said “Oh perfect! Clean lines, sophistication — something timeless and classic.” And of course I threw in unforgettable, because isn’t that everyone’s goal for their wedding day? If 50 years from now, my grandchildren look at my wedding pictures and are unable to pinpoint the decade in which I was married, but instead are just awed by the overall feel, then I will have succeeded in my goals.
