Pi = Bad, Pie = Good

Not that Andrea's reading, but we <3 her and her mom.

And for the record, I like pi...and pie.

A Rule for Wedding Planning

There will be no math permitted in the wedding planning. NONE.

Why? Because Cait hates:
algebra
geometry
feeling like a retard
volume
area
formulas
pi
circumference
diameter
radius
square roots
word problems
decimals
graphs
slopes
and most of all: triangles.

The only math allowed is converting metric, percentages, and anything that means I get more wine.

Duuuuuuuuude.

Bud Light Project = Engagement Party

Yay or Nay?

Cait, I facebook walled Mary and asked her for information regarding her bee-yoo-ti-ful RBC-pride bridesmaid dress. Do you think anyone likes us enough to wear a similar one?

Ooh! We could be Totally 80s and have people wear unis with (short) skirts over them, so the spandex shows at the bottom. Do you remember the 80s?

Okay, those are both awful plans. Another awful plan was when I logged back into the internet before bed. Frak.

Bouquets

That's where I worry about the blue and white color scheme. Other than that, I think it rocks. Maybe with an accent color or something?

I mean, there is the advantage that our bridesmaids could wear their getups again.

I think Alex has to show up in blue and white stripes, no matter what.

Ditto to no tux unis. Who owns that? If it's anyone we know, they are DISOWNED. Maybe we can get someone on door duty to "take care of" quality control at our wedding. I don't know why, but I'm picturing Mary's Greg. Did you know they've been together for, like, seven years?
Cait, I am eating a lot of cookie dough tonight. Some of it makes it to the microwave, but most of it just makes it right to my mouth. The oven was never even a consideration, although we do have those in the Midwest.

le colours

There is always the Riverside blue & white option... classic, understated, and STRIPED! It would give baby Alex a chance to rock out in some of his amazing striped clothing... and allow for the tards that we know to don their unis - because there would clearly be at least one fool who would do that. Which reminds me, Lyssa did I ever tell you there was a guy in a tuxedo uni at the Canley party? Let's ban those.

Sometimes I worry we should be checked into McLean. Sometimes I think of the person who congratulated me on being engaged & laugh.

Funfetti to match our wedding colors? That's classy, like us. Oh shit. Wedding colors.

WHAT ARE OUR WEDDING COLORS?!?!

Funfetti = not so simple after all

But what kind of Funfetti? There are all sorts of options (okay, maybe 6 of them) including:
Decisions, decisions....

Funfetti

and buttercream.

That's Festive.

I like ice cream flowers.

Let's have ice cream cake at our preparty. From DQ.

Cupcakecake Settled

As long as its white cake & delicious buttercream frosting, I am all about the very top one with the black background. Mmmm. Of course, only if those flowers are ice cream.

Can you imagine being married to a nutritionist? I'd be in so much trouble. The wedding is off if you go to nutritionist school.

Maybe we should become wedding planners.

Good thinking Cait!

Hey Cait,
I found some more. How do you feel about these:


Obviously only if they can make the flowers out of frosting. Obviously.



The one on top would be replaced with delicious frosting and be for us. So! Much! White! Cake! There are little ones too, in case we want to invite some lightweights or play favorites.

Fantastic idea, starting with what's most vital.

Note

I think its worth pointing out that Carlos suspected Lyssa & Cait of being a couple on Saturday night.

Cupcake wedding cake options include....

Yes! Yes! DELICIOUS FROSTING! I approve. But that tablecloth is out.



Uh, no. Valentine's Day gone modern? No thanks.



Veils are not for food. Those cupcakes are wussy. Let's get full-sized ones, here, no scrimping.



Absolutely not. No way.




Okay, that looks pretty delicious....



We're not celebrating the birth of a baby girl. No.



A little too virginal, thanks....



Not enough frosting. Frosting also not up to par.



Too sparse near the top. Also kind of looks like a Hawaiian shirt vomited.

I'm going to Boston today, bearing cupcakes. If the frosting is considered a liquid, for its creamy goodness, I'll be fucking pissed and horrible to be around all weekend.

This is wedding-related research. That sounds best with a speech impediment.

Stars and Smiles!

Our wedding will not be a dry event. I have not yet run this decree by Cait, but if she does not agree with me, well, then she'll be dead to me* and our wedding will be OFF. I'm sorry, but I just feel really passionately about things like alcohol, cake, and wearing days-of-the-week undies on their assigned day. (Personally, I'm more of a stripes girl.) Our reception will also have "beverages" available.

RIGHT NOW I'm exploring wine options. I think it's important that there be things Cait and I like to drink at our wedding. Ergo, you sure can count on Bud Light and margaritas! Since moving to Chicago, it's become my mission in life to taste wines for our big event.** Until tonight, I'd exclusively been drinking chardonnays, because I like them. Tonight was a BIG branch out; based on advice from TJ's Fearless Flyer I'm drinking a sparkling pinot grigio. It's all the rage in Europe, and we're nothing if not tres chic. When I don't forget that it's a pg, I like it. When I forget it's not a chard, I think there's something wrong with it. Overall, it's light, crisp, and refreshing. It's also $4.99/bottle. I think it makes it to round two. YAY!



* All together!
** A Lie. I just like drinking wine.
