Oh my god, 16 cakes!!

We're gonna have a pretty low-key courthouse wedding and a nice party at my mom's house. I'm still putting lots of thought into my outfit and jewelry, but there won't be a veil or traditional foofy wedding dress. My mom had kinda decided we would order a couple cakes from a bakery, but, over Christmas when I was there I made a chocolate cake with raspberry filling and cinnamon cream frosting that was basically the best thing any of us had ever put in our mouths, so we're gonna go with that instead.

I got a new apartment a couple weeks ago and my mom bought me a totally fantastic queen sized mattress as a wedding gift, so that's just peachy, and it looks like I'm not gonna be alone on it for too much longer.

Now I gotta make up a list of people getting wedding notifications/invites and think about what'll be a good date! And I have to get pearls and silver settings for my necklace, because all I have right now is the loose gems and lots of sketches. And I have to keep looking at shoes, because I'm not sure I've found the right pair yet.

And we have to figure out what'll be the cheapest flight to get him here. I have Delta miles to buy him a ticket from any POE to Indiana, so he can basically just fly wherever's cheapest. Within reason. I suppose I wouldn't make him go to California just to save money.

Basically, what I'm trying to say is..

YAAAY!!! OMGOMGOMGOMGOMG!!!

Oh yeah, we met online, on an IRC channel associated with a general discussion forum.

lol I just noticed the Cakes post! I think I would be sick. We are getting married at my parent's house (its on a hill near a beautiful lake). Very small. Still haven't thought about what to serve or cake or the date as we are still unsure of when he is coming over. We may wait a little while, we may not...kinda up in the air.

I know 16 cakes seems a little insane but let me explain.

They are small two layer, regular 8 serving cakes. There will be one on each table. So instead of center pieces we have cakes decorated with flowers. Cuts out the cost of a full wedding cake. We have 6 different flavours so everyone is happy. Plus instead of bridesmaids...(my sister is my only maid of honor) I have all my cousins and girl friends being cake cutters. They can wear what they want!

heishe: it's all so exciting isn't it. I have 5 months as I say and it has gone by so fast so far. SHOCKED to say that but it has.

BlueRain77: Our wedding is kinda small...it isn't formal really, around a lake as well!

We've been really lucky with all of our catering and dress finding etc. Great deals!

Have you thought about flying into Cincy? It is a good POE and only about 2 hours from Indianapolis. Add on whatever it would be to get to Bloomington (hour?). I flew into there in December. Delta do a direct flight from Gatwick too.

we always fly back and forth direct from Atlanta....but everyone says that is a horrible POE...I am so torn!

I got a super deal on Delta and flew out of Cincy to visit him last year. It's only 2.5 hours driving from Bloomington and a really pretty route, so better to just drive there than connect from Indy, imho. I would love to fly him in there, but so far all the late Feb prices I've found for Cincy are really high! And my Delta miles aren't enough to get him an international ticket. \

So far a $410 Air India ticket to JFK is the best we've found.

I think I paid 320 quid for mine ($500 or so). Actually, pretty cheap for mid December. Larry just picked me up from Cincy and we drove to Greencastle. Took about 3 hours.

cool. lol I actually got my dress back during the summer before we were ever officially engaged. Got the rings in November. Got my daughters dress. My mom's found a caterer who also does cakes, and my mom's friend is a photographer. Just need someone to marry us! lol...oh and a date!

Oooh found a really cool place here in Washington that does Christmas crackers & will do wedding themed crackers as well. They will put the basics and you can add stuff. We thought that would be fun for our favours. Im soooo excited!!

Wondering if I can just talk Pjc into coming back with me on Feb 24! lol
