DAYS REMAINING: 349
In honor of
yesterday’s flight of fancy for some lucky couple hoping to get married before the cabin pressure changes and they get knocked out of the sky by a vengeful God with a penchant for ironic timing, today’s entry is proof that planning a wedding is a lot more boring when you get down to the nitty-gritty.
So, the Question Of Thrills for this Saturday: will we book one group flight for all (or as many as desire) of our guests to travel to Iceland together? I had thought perhaps we could work with the airline and offer some kind of promo code so people could get a discount when they booked their individual flights. Turns out, however, they cannot. So
Anna hooked us up with the name of a group sales specialist at Icelandair. If 30 people end up going on one flight, that is going to be a serious party bus. Especially if my poor, flight-phobic mom is on the flight. In the good news column, that means Valium for everyone!
Also exciting: if you ever find yourself in need of a group flight to Reykjavik in service of your own wedding or other celebratory event, you have all of the info you need right here!
