how do you do?

introducing the families seems so artificial and weird. how does one do it without all the ickfest?

diet woes

yeah - my diet isn't going so well.

that's all I need to say.

acccckkkkkk!

I'd like to revisit the registry issue. I really think I'm out of control...now that I've started, I've lost ALL perspective.

First - what is considered excessive? How much should a place setting be? stemware (because mine is VERY expensive)? I registered on michaelcfina.com. Feel free to see my registry (put in my first and last name I think). I would like some of you to do research and confirm that I have cross the line into the offensive.

Have I become a completely obnoxious snob?

Another question - I also registered on amazon...but my mom and I both agree that I need to register at a couple REAL stores that the older ladies can go since they don't trust the internet. Ideas? and Macy's is a firm no. I could do target I suppose - any other ideas?

Dress Mania

So here's a HUGE wedding update: with Carol's insicive, decisive and entertaining help a DRESS HAS BEEN PURCHASED! It is a gorgeous lace Monique Lhuillier in which Nancy becomes 6'2 thin and busty. It's stunning.
BTW: the Vera Wang boutique experience was fascinating. Nancy tried on a $ 9 k number that may actually be worth it for the price-is-no-obstacle jet-setters.
Congats Miss Bride on a decision you won't regret!

club wed

so some of you may have noticedon the ladies blog (ladieslunch.blogspot.com) that the rehersal dinner will be at "the club" - namely the orchard park country club.

I've made it clear that I'd like for this to be relatively casual - no dining room - rather sitting outside and perhaps even a buffet type situation for simon (TBD). What do we think about this move - to answer the most pressing question - yes, open bar.

I guess it doesn't really matter where it is as long as there's alcohol right?
