@ Miss Priss: are you from Saginaw or used to live in Saginaw at one time or another?? You seem to know a lot!!! At one time, I wanted to go with red, but I got chicken and backed down. I was going to use the Plaza Hotel downtown, but right now, I don't know (read below). PM me if you can.
For everyone else:
Weddings are HARD WORK!!! LOL!! The guest list has gone from 50 people to nearly 125 and growing!!!People are upset that there will be no alcohol at the reception, they keep on complaining and there will be NO reception!! My fiance and I are REALLLLLY reconsidering eloping to Vegas (a plan that has become even more tempting ever since we got those free tickets from United for giving up our seats on a flight we recently took back to my home state of MS) Both families want us to invite cousins and other family members that we haven't seen in umpteen years and both sets of parents want to invite co-workers and friends, while we are feeling bad b/c we can't invite all the members of our respective chapters from our organizations. So we developed a saying: PAY FOR YOUR SAY. This means that if you are not contributing in anyway to the wedding, please keep all opinions to yourself. Obviously, this does not work on black folk. So until we come up with a workable solution: *singing Elvis' "Viva Las Vegas"*
Thanks for the suggestions; keep 'em coming!!!
