... I arrived at the restaurant where we'll be holding the reception on our wedding day. No one was there. I sat around waiting and waiting and waiting. Time ticked by. It was after 2 p.m., which was when the wedding was supposed to start. No one was there. Finally, one of Jared's aunts and her children arrived. They said hello and took a seat at a nearby table. We were all waiting and waiting. Finally I went up to the restaurant staff and asked why nothing was set up. They said, "Oh, we thought the wedding was starting at 4 p.m.," and went scampering off to start setting up. And I thought to myself, "Wait, even if the restaurant got it wrong, where are all my GUESTS?" I started crying and called Jared (apparently I wasn't worried that the GROOM was not in attendance either) saying over and over, "We should have just had a City Hall wedding! We should have just had a City Hall wedding!!!!"
Signs of things to come? I hope not...
PS - I watched 3 episodes of Platinum Weddings last night before bed. Perhaps hearing about $100k flower budgets and a personalized, monogrammed custom waterfall display put me over the edge. I should stop watching that show.
PPS - During the commercials I felt compelled to keep switching back to TLC's "Paralyzed and Pregnant." It was like a train wreck - couldn't look away. Not recommended for those with a pregnancy phobia.

you can still have a celebratory (sp?)gathering and have the City Hall wedding....just a thouht... your mind does keep going back there.
BTW, that cake you made looks scrumptious!
oh man - DON'T watch anymore platnium weddings. Those weddings are so ridiculous - the amount of money the drop is unbelievable. And totally out of proportion.
Don't have a City Hall wedding. Trust me. You'll be glad in the end that you're doing it up in style.
The other night I dreamed that I opened up a copy of Time magazine to see the wedding photos of my arch frenemy from college. A symptom perhaps of having my own wedding pics recently rejected by the folks at Martha weddings? Le Sigh...I shouldn't put so much stock in these things...
