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?

30 minute warning, vw.....

Damn. Gonna have to quit flirting with the boy. Though, I think he's gonna have to head out soon.

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.

Welcome to our coast, vw!

Speaking of cute--I present to you Colin Firth speaking Italian. [link] Swoon. (most of it is at the end of the clip)

Oh, wait. YAY! I get to see Suzi!

Sparky, if you have any tips you want to share for a 10k wedding, I'd love to hear them.

sj, I think the major reason we were able to keep costs low was that we chose not to get married anywhere near a major metropolitan area. If you want to stay close to Boston, your costs will automatically be higher.

The other big tip I have (off the top of my head) is to say no to wedding themed things -- that is, don't buy wedding glasses to sip your toast from, don't buy a wedding garter -- heck, if you can manage it, don't buy a wedding dress!

VW, get pretty boy number. Decide whether or not to call it when you are rested.

Again I am glad for the three-week wedding preparation with added No! Guests! At! All! $100 Justice of the Peace was the only thing we ended up paying for.

Which probably isn't helpful. But it was nice, and no one was mad at us for doing it ass-ways, but then we're both the doing-it-ass-ways members of our respective families.

seriously - there are some great dresses out there for $150. No need to spend $3,000 - or whatever.
