today was one of the happiest days ever... as I saw our CD on the internet. even though the release date is august 1st and we do not have copies of the CD yet... you can buy the CD for 10 bucks (with a 7 dollar discount) before august 1 and save a bundle and even have a copy of "three candles" before we do. for those who are not avid readers let me give you a history of this work.
arthur ispirian (my husband to be) is a pop armenian singer here in yerevan. his music is a r&b, stevie wonder turned armenian style which holds a lot of popularity here in yerevan. he decided to produce a new cd which would have a mix of his style (the marvin gaye, barry white style) and songs about the current poltical situation here, and the current spiritual situation... there are deep songs, fun songs and i make my debut in this cd with a little bit of rap on one of the songs. we have been working on it for a long long time. amazing to see it online available for purchase. felt great.
you can hear a sample from all the songs and see if it interests you. go to www.narek.com and type in arthur ispirian in the search... it should pop up... "three candles" check it out and hear his voice. do it before august 1, if you are considering purchasing so you can get that big discount (the pre-release price) and then tell me how the packaging and stuff came out as we do not have it in our hands.
ok with all that exciting stuff out of the way... i will tell you all a shocker. for the past few weeks we have had a tough decision to make. after one gets engaged... the first thing they here is... "wow, so when is the wedding?" ... ahhh it stressed us out because we were in such a tough situation. my family lives so far away... siblings all over the world and cousins, aunts, best friends... how could i do it without them... but then how could we do it without arthur's family and all our friends and family here.. i mean after all this is our home. so we were stuck.
so we had two options.
either we could have a wedding here next year which would give everyone ample time to get ready and get here (although some of my loved ones are too old or not able to travel) and just get whoever was able to come out... or we could do one here and one there. so if we did one here... we would have to do it when my mother and father were here... which is only in the summers. so either this summer or next... looking in eachothers eyes we just knew we could not wait a whole year to marry SO last minute we have decided to have my wedding on saturday... yes this saturday ... yes in three days... yes we are crazy.
it will be a small wedding... a really small wedding with just family... and then we will have a string of parties for all our friends and close ones... then we will have a party in la in the winter for all our la friends and family. but even this tiny wedding is stressful. as there is no post here in armenia we have been delivering the invites by hand... and running around like headless chickens buying wedding dresses and flowers... nuts.
i wish all my loggers could be with us... but we are going to have a bad ass wedding party that will rock our family reception any day... i just know it. and ara, you have to come to yerevan for it because i promise sushi.
so i will try to log on tomorrow and try to explain all the new armenian matrimonial traditions i have learned of since this whole fiasco. some pretty interesting stuff.
