A tip: when asking caterers, hotels, etc. about cost, tell them that you are planning a dinner or a party, don't say "wedding". some of them will jack up the price for a wedding.
And boys -- let's watch the swearing.

Spike's Bitches 38: Well, This Is Just...Neat.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That sounds great, Nora! I'm a little stressed about Thanksgiving, myself, just because we'll be moving sometime around then and my MiL has asked twice if she should come out so we can have Thanksgiving together. I don't think she will just go ahead and buy a ticket and come out after we;ve told her twice that it wouldn't be a good time for a visit, but I'm not completely confident.

Ok. There's a very pretty boy sitting across from me eating popcorn. He doesn't seem to be with the conference, and I feel like hell after being up since 2am. So, he'll just be eye candy, but he's pretty eye candy.

Sparky, if you have any tips you want to share for a 10k wedding, I'd love to hear them.
vw, I'd hate to bother your sil right now, but maybe in a few months.

Ok. But, the offer is there, so when you're ready, just ask, and I'll put you two in touch.
Ok. Cute boy and I are talking Red Sox. He's teasing me...
Did I mention I really look like hell?

Trust my rage
And they look smothering. I know they're not, but they look that way.
I think anything that helps a woman nurse her baby is a good thing, but I agree that they look very smothering. Plus, and this is totally my issue, if you cover yourself up, you are just buying into the whole "OMG it's a boob!" hysteria. YMMV, of course.
