i'm not a slacker

my dad met john for the first time a few weeks ago. i think things went well. they laughed about their ivy league rivalry (barf barf barf) and chatted away comfortably for a couple of hours. after the first day in so. california (where my dad lives) he and my step mom surprised us with a cake and a toast.

but later, when i was alone with my dad, he asked if we'd decided where and when the wedding will be. when i told him i hadn't really thought about it, he said "if you really think this is the right guy for you, what are you waiting for?"

yikes.

trust me, there is no weird subconscious reason i'm not getting this done. but our situation is complicated.

1. we are from boston and philly but we live in bangkok.
2. we were in boston for an extended time after the holidays, and john's been traveling almost every week.
3. we have no idea where we want the wedding to be. not as in -- which lovely venue in new york city. as in -- which continent. i've been living overseas for the past 3 years, and many of our close friends are here. but... our families and old friends are on the east coast. and i'm dreading the thought of having to plan a wedding from so far away.
