Obviously the only thing she wants to talk about....


I'm back. I ran away from Papa when he was watching Animal Planet.
Otherwise I was thinking: wedding, wedding, wedding, subway, school, wedding, wedding, subway, subway... Brett Brett Brett.

There was no time for Blogging.

So here's some things on my mind and I wondered, what if I just ask for opinions?

Its about the wedding dinner so obviously Ron has the final say and can veto this out of the water.
But the ceremony is at 3:40 pm, the reception at 7:30..... the dinner is supposed to be crammed in there. I think it would be sufficient time... but it might not be enough time. What if we had a luncheon at like 12:45 pm- sharp to 2pm ish.

i am worried that will break up the day for people to much. And mostly be annoying for people coming from out of town. But I always thought it would be nice to lengthen the wedding... its not like you get to have your own wedding every day.
That way the reception could start at like 6:30 or whatever.

Does anyone have an opion on this. I haven't even asked Ron or my dad (aka the sugar daddies) so don't feel bad if I have to veto any comments.

I agree with the comment above. Either do a luncheon before the ceremony or a dinner the night before the wedding.

Hey Guys, thanks for the comments. Its good to know what you guys think.

Talking to Ron I'm not sure if he wants to do it that way, but we'll see.
As for Pictures, I think if Brett and I get most of the "couple" pictures out of the way in the morning we will be fine.

I will try to post something un wedding related for a while.

Rachel...I know I'm a little late commenting, but I couldn't help it. You will soon find out that Ron is not much of a sugar daddy. Sorry Dad, but it's true. He's more like a sugar step-daddy...kidding, kidding....chill. It was just a joke. Anyway, good luck with the wedding plans....I say that the luncheon at 12:45pm is a great idea. It would be a true luncheon because it will be during the lunch time hours.

Everybody seems to want the luncheon. But are these the same people who will complain about too much time in between events? Aren't people going to be in a state of limbo if there isn't anything for almost 2 and a 1/2 hours?

Pictures won't take that long, as Rachel said we'll do most of them before the ceremony.

But maybe people want to go shopping or look at stuff. I haven't been given my wedding planning certificate so people's $.02 are appreciated.

We had our wedding dinner the night before. I loved it that way. Everything was so nice and relaxing, we weren't rushing to get anywhere. On the other hand, We fly in at 6:05 on Thursday, so do it after that :)

Hmm... I'm surprised with all the positive comments about the luncheon. But i am glad some one said something about the time thing. Otherwise I would think not everyone was speaking up. We are still waiting for the Ron verdict... but I dunno.

I think not matter what the people that really want to be their (family/friends) will have fun no matter what because of the good company.
As for the enemies... they are sure not have fun at all.

...and the louder you complain the less chocolate fountain you get at the wedding. Or more.
I hope you guys like chocolate.

And if you don't, you will be punished. Punishment by chocolate.
The irony is delicious.

I just happened onto this conversation about the wedding luncheon/dinner. I will lay this dilemma to rest with the following comments:
1) I believe there will be time to have the dinner between the wedding and the reception. If we start the dinner at 6:00 p.m., that gives us an hour to eat, and a half hour to prepare ourselves for the reception that starts at 7:30 p.m.
2) Before the wedding you're all nervous and worried about how everything's going to go. You're busy doing last minute things (like hair and bows and frills and girly-girl things). Who can enjoy a meal when they're nervous? To have the dinner afterwards, with the wedding over, and all the nervousness gone would seem like a good idea to me.
3) Events will be more compacted. To have the luncheon before would string out the time and people would be wondering what to do. What do you between the wedding and the reception? Hang out? Where? I guess the wedding couple could go see the Joseph Smith movie in between. Maybe we could all get tickets and go before the reception. Just kidding. Seriously, I'm kidding.
4) If you eat a luncheon at lunch time, think how hungry you're going to be later on. You'd probably overdose at the chocolate fountain. Not a good idea. Or maybe you could catch a burger at Hires Big before the reception. No, I don't think so. Let everyone fend for themselves until the wedding, then feed them some real food after the wedding. That sounds more logical to me.

Therefore, for the above four reasons, and for the other reasons I haven't thought of yet, I declare the dinner to be after the wedding and before the reception. The end.

P.S. Probably no one will read this comment, because it was made April 7th, some time after the original entry. But if someone does happen onto this comment, be it known that I haven't changed my mind.

As ned flanders would say "oak-ka-lee-doaklie-neighborino."

But that Joseph Smith movie does sound tempting....
