Today's wedding giggle...

I started working on the guestbook today and was talking about the colors of Sharpie that I needed to get so the names would show up on the paper (think darker shades of purple).
 
Me: I need to remember to go get silver and black sharpies for the guestbook
FH: What do you mean silver and black? Can you change those colors? The guys at work will never let me live it down if the wedding colors are silver and black! (complete with look of horror and shock on his face)
Me: Black and silver are not the primary colors. We are using purple and black with silver accents.
FH: can't we use gold instead of silver. Silver and black are Raiders colors and my Steelers loyalty will be questions if there is silver with the black. Your teams colors are purple and yellow and mine are black and yellow so why can't we use gold instead of silver?

At this point, I was laughing so hard I could not talk. FH has hardly paid any attention to anything color related during the entire planning of the wedding even though I have asked his opnion on almost everything. Twenty minutes later he was still trying to talk me into gold instead of silver and could not see that there will be very little silver mixed in with the purple and black ...

I love wedding planning Laughing

    OMG.  On a related (sort of) note.  When I was trying to choose a bouquet, I asked my fiance if he wanted a boutonniere.  He had no idea what that was, especially given the fact that he had never gone to a prom in high school.  He thought I was saying buccaneer, and  from then on he called it a Buccaneer.   Even funnier when you realize that he's a Dallas Cowboys fans.  Men.  I've also heard it called a "boy corsage."  HA!!! 

    And, BTW,  GO PATS!

    I am still leanning towards the silver ... The BM & FG shoes are silver, FG dresses are purple, BM dresses are black with purple accent, silver sharpie to sign the dark purple pages and black (or purple) sharpie to sign the lighter pages....

    I think his Steeler Nation status will survive a tiny amount of silver in the decor ...

    But he can keep trying to change my mind ....

    awww, let him have the gold.  Nobody will notice and it sounds like it will really make him happy.  You said yourself that there will be very little silver involved, so make it very little gold involved instead.  Go ahead, give him the gold!!!

    You can't let him be the victim of peer pressure...so make it gold.  Or white. 

    Or red, white & blue!  Go PATS!!  ::::fist bumps handfast:::::

    Stay with silver!

    I seriously considered using Broncos colors for our wedding... esp since DH is a Bears fan, so you look at it and it goes either way.

    I have the answer: white sharpies.  Of course, then you'd have purple and white, which are the colors of a gazillion Jesuit high schools.  Your FI can adjust.  Good luck!

    And moving on to College sports, I went to grad school at UW.  The huskies are purple and gold, so you could tell FI that.  Officially one of the worst football teams the last couple of years.  I think last year they were what, like 2-12? year before 0-14?  This is why I prefer to root on the PATS.  Where I grew up.  :-)

    The Colorado Rockies are Black, Purple, and Silver.  They are the only MLB team to use any shade of purple (that I've been able to find).
