My sister played a sweet song as she walked back up the aisle "...momma's got a squeezebox..." and it was o.k. It will all be just fine. Let them eat cup cakes. Love you guys.

And you should, I think, wear the pink socks for the wedding. Maybe with white high heels, like a zz top video. Well, really -only one should say ‘really love your peaches’

I wish I had before my wedding. It goes into detail about how weddings make people (not just the bride) act badly (during planning, esp.). It's funny. and offers no opinions about flowers, colors, etiquitte. It does expose how humiliating gown shopping can be, how mothers-in-law go batty, etc. Have you read the book “Going Bridal”?

I couldn't bear to do it, but looking back, I might've preferred to just have the money from throwing the wedding instead.... Beautiful rings. You've got great taste. Those matter; you see them every day. Nothing else does. I was kind of into the wedding planning thing. Is your man? Because the way I simplified it was I shopped around, and brought back 2 choices - the eye doctor thing: "this way or <i>this</i> way?" And we kept telling ourselves that whatever choice we made was good enough, we don't have to shop anymore. I hear choices surrounding parenting are just as bad, or worse. You could just elope.

Skip that part. The Greek men sound good but is the weather cool enough for sweaters, etc? No point is living where you can't wear sweaters!! I got married the second time in a church (his idea) with just witnesses (friends). I wanted to go to Vegas. I have since observed several weddings in Vegas and they appeared to be a hoot!! That's the whole idea, you know, having fun. When it isn't fun any longer, you need to be somewhere else. The Jack will give you a TERRIBLE hangover! Skip that part.

As to wedding planning - oy. I actually did elope to Reno, and y'know what? It was a wonderful wedding. We had a great casual reception a month later, and my mom nearly went nuts enough over that! It's just been a really lousy month or so for you all. Deep breaths. Keep knitting. Refer 'em to Shelley when anyone gets too persistent. Tell them she's your last arbiter on complicated decisions. It might at least buy enough time for you to escape while they wonder if you've gone completely bonkers. [vbg] Cool-looking socks, Minnie is showing very pretty, and oh my, what beautiful rings!

When DH and I married (almost 36 years ago) we had a church wedding (in the small side-chapel that only seated about 20 skinny people), but wanted it to be as informal as possible, and since my Mom was unable to help and I was in my first year of teaching, we chose to not do most "required" pre-wedding things like sending out invitations, etc. It was still almost more than I (we) could handle...I can still remember being out in some farmer's field two evenings before the wedding trying to glean wheat stalks for the altar flowers because our little flower shop couldn't supply any wheat stalks, and for some silly reason, having wheat stalks on the altar was really important to us ... Who knows? Good luck with your wedding. Socks sounds like the perfect antidote to stress. Oh, how I remember.

I hope it also works for you :) That's a great book! I love that inscription idea! :)
