There have been some giggles along the way. When we went in to order the flowers, my FDIL asked my opinion on what she should get. I told her that it was her choice, get what she wanted, I only like carnations, so I am of no help. The florist was mortified! We've had the same florist for 15 years. She looked at my husband and said "she only likes carnations? Why haven't you ever told me this? I need to know these things." I said "Maybe he's cheating on you, because I get carnations every year for my birthday, Mother's Day, Valentines Day and my Anniversary." Then she looked puzzled and said "then who do I make the bouquets of Roses for?" Our daughters :-) Good thing he wasn't cheating on me because she would have let the cat out of the bag.

More frustrations too. The latest is that FDIL's Mother is now "freaking out" (her words) because she's worried that she'll "out dress" me. WHAT? Who cares what I wear! My attire will be appropriate. I have bigger things to worry about than what to wear! I'm planning a wedding on virtually no notice. This is not MY day, this is their day. Wear what you want and I'll do the same. This woman is wearing me out!

On a side note, this is the first time I've ever had anything catered. Why have I never done this before? Normally I'm cooking for weeks before an event. The three days before are horrible. And some salads can only be prepared the day of the event. This is AWESOME, and much cheaper than making it myself. Plus, no dirty dishes!
