Yeah, we spent about $3500, all told. Most of that was for food and booze. My dress cost about $300 between fabric and seamstress time.
I'm really glad we didn't spend any more than that, given what happened after.
And what's the fun in becoming an immortal demon if you're not regular, am I right?

So is there a message on my answering machine? What do you think?

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

So, who's got a good fruit salad recipe? I'm supposed to make one for a birthday dinner tomorrow, and I can't get ahold of my mother to get the awesome coconut-laced one. (And I find it hard to believe it has sour cream in it, like the internet's trying to convince me...)

Now tagless for your comfort.
I think we spent $7-9K on my wedding. Mom paid for everything and wasn't that upfront about the actual costs. We cut some places to spend more in others. My dress did cost about $1K.
My sister spent half that for her dress recently. They're keeping the wedding small but splurging on the reception (dinner for 200 people) so they will most likely spend somewhere in the range of $10-12K.
Ailleann, I just mix a bunch of fresh fruit together. Am I doing it wrong?

Yeah, I always just do "bunch of fruit and yogurt"

I do apples, oranges, and bananas, maybe nuts if I have them lying around, other fruit if it's handy and sounds good, cut into bite sized pieces and then tossed with a dressing of yogurt and lemon juice. It's my great grandmother's recipe, though she made it with mayonaise instead of yogurt. I could dig up precise measurements, but they really aren't necessary.

Ok, this made me laugh out loud. And, kinda feel like a jackass, because I'm stressing out over making a damn fruit salad. Which is, you know, fruit. How much do I suck?
I need a nap.

That is not sucking or jackassery, Aillean, that is caring too much. And having a yummy fruit salad in mind that you can't duplicate.
You might need a nap, though, most people do.

No sucking! Just find whatever's on sale (Kroger had strawberries, blueberries, apples, pineapple, melons and pineapple, I think). Clean, cut & toss. Then nap.
