SAVE THE DATE!

Yo, are these necessary? Can we just post something on Facebook that says, "WEDDING. OCTOBER 10. CLEAR YOUR SCHEDULE JUST IN CASE YOU'RE INVITED."

It would definitely be easier, but that's a fine line to walk between being exclusive and being mean.

Actually, mean would be if we added, "STILL DECIDING ON THE GUEST LIST. SEND US A PRESENT AND WE'LL DECIDE IF IT'S WORTH $75 A HEAD."

Which is an arbitrary number, of course. We're having tacos, which are basically a natural resource.

Thanksgiving Break

Hello! We're back!

"Hooray!" they all said.

You have no way of knowing this, but we just spent the last week and a half traveling from Pennsylvania to New Jersey to Southern California and back again. We had a lovely time,* and between all current and future mothers, grandmothers, friends, and sisters, the wedding is pretty much entirely planned.

Well, maybe not quite. But we did banish Bill to the patio for most of the week so we could weigh the merits of chiffon versus organdy.

Topics of discussion/anxiety included:

• Our ballooning budget!
• Our growing guest list!
• Our disappointing decisions!
• The horrors of childbirth!
• Tacos!

I love weddings, but after a while I missed hanging out with Bill's friends, who mainly quote TV shows and talk about their facial hair. So refreshing. 

*I gained five pounds by Thursday evening and lost five pounds by Sunday night. A Thanksgiving miracle!
