FRANCESCA: B and I went down to Venice Beach today, about a mile from where we live, to film our wedding favors. No, we are not handing out DVD documentaries of ourselves. We're turning a 15 second video of us into palm-of-your hand flipbook giveaways. It just so happens that this is B's business - www.flipclips.com.

Now, to explain the 'congratulations.'

Since we will give out the flipclips as wedding favors AFTER the ceremony, we shot a video with a 'Just Married' sign in it today. Now you get it. There we were, all dressed up, a 'just married' sign on the back of our tandem bike, and everyone on the boardwalk in Venice wished us the best. B and I thanked them all earnestly, posed for tourist pictures with my veil flying in the wind.]]> http://www.observer.com/node/32226#comments Venice Venice Beach Mon, 28 Aug 2006 12:52:57 -0400 Observer Staff 32226 at http://www.observer.com Gifted Travel Agent Plans Honeymoon, We Can Relax Like Superstars in Italia http://www.observer.com/node/32169 ERICA: We just got back from a meeting with our travel agent Joan from Valerie Wilson, and I'm walking on cloud nine. FINALLY, a wedding planning task that does not completely suck.

To sum it up, Joan rocks...and she rocks hard. Before we even sealed the deal with her, she sent us over a three page proposal of a to-die-for Italian Honeymoon itinerary along with about 23 scrumptious, glossy, drool-inducing hotel catalogs. We love every single one of her ideas, and aside from the teeny tiny issue of how the hell are we going to afford this, we were ready to just say "BOOK IT ALL!" Spending hours and hours on the internet trying to figure this all out by myself now seems like the most insane gameplan I ever had.  read more »
