Somehow it worked. I can't even remember who did the food, I'm just glad it all worked. It was actually a really fun wedding, especially once I let go of stressing about the details of someone else's wedding :-)

I do see that saying as offensive to minimum wage earners, I read it as saying their work ethic sucks and thus they are not allowed to dream big.
It was insane. We all sort of realized the day before that they did not know or care and any discussion of it was immediately shut down. So I did my stupid helping tasks (drive to 5 stores to find the perfect kind of kosher wine for these non-jews for their communion, fail, buy something else, get yelled at by mother…
If you saw a picture of me 20 years ago, I could have passed for one! Puffed sleeves, long hair and all. And conservative homeschooled upbringing. (although next to jb and m, my parents were positively liberal)
Super awesome, they were the only type of hug allowed at the youth group I went to!
Bootstrapping is generally the spirit of that quote, unfortunately.
And we all know they cannot afford stress balls!
"So many designers have amazing runway fashions and terrible off-the-rack choices" I think.
You could still add the ice cream second!
I would! I love catering weddings, and I could charge them what I'm worth. I can't stand when some random volunteer comes in and tries to take over, and I can see a lot of strong kitchen personalities popping up for this type of event, so hmmm maybe not. Or I jack my prices up. Plus travel. I will loan out my cute…
And the whole family didn't even care! That was one of my friend's event where I gave DAYS to help them out and barely got a thank-you. I love my friends, but I'm tired of being the free labor. I was a bit older by the time I got married, so I'd learned the value of not taking advantage of your friends. We hired so…
Oh sure I'm fully aware of that, but I also have no reason disbelieve my MIL. And her client didn't die :-)
My MIL was a hairdresser back in the 60's when women all bouffanted their hair and rarely washed it. A client came in and had a really gross scalp, including a nasty ol' spider egg sac right on her damn head.
I guess you could prescoop the ice cream and freeze it on cookie sheets. Hmm I like the logistical challenge of figuring out how to do this.
So we invited nearly 500 people, but did it all through email (which was nowhere near as organized as I though it would be). I nearly shit a brick when I tallied up that number, but others were paying so they could invite basically anyone they wanted.
Let's start a petition! Or pay for Snacks to gate-crash the gala!
I hope the cupcakes are filled with creamy goodness.
