after talking to the bride, it looks like this is going to be a much smaller event than i thought it was... so hopefully it will all work out.

i think we are going to go the route of wine/chatting/opening presents and head out to dinner / bachelorette party later that night.

i'm not quite as stressed as I was before, but it was a real shocker when I thought I had at least several months to have to think about that stuff since they just got engaged. I travel a TON for work, so the news put me in panic mode.. hopefully this all works out.
