I didn't even tell y'all about the bacon cheddar popcorn.

Or the fact that I'm posting this from my brand new android phone.

Ok. I'll stop.

Ouch, Calli! Feel better soon!

Happy Birthday (belated?), Daisy!

x-post from Natter:

Hivemind etiquette question. We're finalizing wedding invitations, and we're trying to be sure it's very clear that people should go to the website for all the important info. Right now, we have the tag, "FOR IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE WEDDING AND EAST AND WEST COAST RECEPTIONS, PLEASE VISIT OUR WEBSITE: [website address]" (ignore asscaps--it makes sense in the font). ND says he keeps getting questions about the registry and would like to specifically mention that there's a link to registry info on the website, but I'm twitchy about it because I was always taught that directly mentioning one's registry in the invitation is tacky and makes us sound like we are asking for gifts--which really is not at all the point. That's why our first registry link is to charities. Still, I get what ND is saying, and I know that finding the registry is always important for me when I'm going to a wedding. What do you all think?

Ankle update: all the ankle news that's fit to poke at gingerly.

I unwrapped my bad ankle and compared it to the relatively good one. There's some swelling on one side of the sore ankle, around the bump on the outside. The rest seems pretty normal. I can put weight on it as long as I don't bend or turn it.

I have Amyth's crutches now, if I need them. But I'm thinking/hoping I won't need them much.

Ankle~ma, Calli. Sucks that it happened, awesome for having net of support in 10 seconds or so.

Pix, I wish I could help, but I've never heard of a single wedding in Israel which involved registry, let alone went to one. These wedding things are really different between countries. So I dare not guess the right etiquette.

I think we've figured it out. I'm going with the initial instinct of leaving registry info on the website and letting people ask.

ETA:

Would a few of you do a quick proof of the site to see if anything jumps out as confusing? If you see a typo, I'd appreciate a heads up on that too: [link redacted].

Thanks!

(Link went POOF! Thanks, everyone.)

Traditionally, the polite thing for guests to do is to ask the bride's mother or maid of honor about the registry. I think putting on the website but not the invitations is just fine.

The website looks great to me!

Does anyone have the link handy to that really gorgeous laptop skins site? I want to show my MiL so she can customize her new netbook.

Pix, I would maybe say ALL INFORMATION CONCERNING THE WEDDING -- that way people will go there to see.

And all I could see was this: "Dress up and join us for a cocktail party to celebrate our marriage! We will enjoy a selection of tasty hors d'oeuvres and desserts by gourmet chef (and Ramsey’s at the Club owner) Jesse Genovese,"

I don't understand the parenthesed statement. Is it an inside joke? Cause I just look at it and no comprende.

I had plans to do stuff outside for a bit today, but the wind is fierce out there. Not nessicarily really cold, but hit by flying tree branch fierce
