Groom quirks: Champ edition

I don't know about other couples, but throughout this whole process there's been a clear line between the subjects Champ cares about and those which he could care less. I mentioned he was big into our Mountain Menu choices (specifically his obsession with buffalo), but there have been less obvious details he'll take over.

I mention this because yesterday when we were in Crate and Barrel, Champ casually leans over and tells me that our low ball glasses are no longer available online and we should look for some to replace them on our registry. Um...say what? You check our registry??? He might be the only groom I know that actually cares about registry details. He's even added random items to our registry like a scull print beach towel.

Hot off our registry:

(Bed Bath and Beyond Scull n' Bone Beach Towel)

Totally unexpected, totally random, and totally adorable.

Champ has also taken charge of a few big ticket items on my "to-do list". He's managed to somehow get an emotional attachment to the issue of transportation and I catch myself trying not to act too relieved I won't have to do it. He's also in charge of lighting at our reception. We're working with a company called Pink Monkey Solutions and I couldn't be more confident with his decision to have them do our lighting. I met with them during my trip last week and they are total creative geniuses! Champ if you're reading this- great job:)

Oh and did I mention that I have no idea where we're going for our honeymoon? Champ has planned the entire thing!!! My only requirement was that we go somewhere relaxing and tropical.
He's given me a few clues but they're just too vague:
1.It's a location that has perfect weather in Feb. (hmm...no idea)
2. It's in the Northern Hemisphere. (guess I should've paid attention in geography class- again- no idea)

So these are just a few quirks I've noticed along the way and as we get closer and closer to the wedding, I suspect Champ will have a few more up his sleeve. I just can't WAIT to see where we're going on our honeymoon!

Have you been surprised at the details your groom chooses to care about?

Not knowing where you're going for your honeymoon...I couldn't handle that, but I hope that you're super excited!

I think I'm not worried because I know how obsessive Champ is over details and I totally trust his planning skills. That being said, I still can't wait to see where we're going! I think he's telling me around Christmas, so I'll let you know!
