...Amanda! You are crazy--I would never cut you :).<br /><br />And you should write the story of your life! Or at least something ... writing in this blog is actually really therapeutic for me. It gives me a fun break from the journalistic writing I do all week.Celestehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15478022096590089850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5710305998106435813.post-3490427667134542932009-08-28T13:38:44.432-07:002009-08-28T13:38:44.432-07:00First off, just because of your blog I feel like w...First off, just because of your blog I feel like writing a story of my life and try to make it sound half as interesting as yours. Second off, love your ideas on the wedding.

It is really a fantastic city and a great place to live, work, and study. It is unfortunate that WWU does not have any doctorate programs or I would definitely recommend it.<br /><br />You will have to forgive the mega-comment, but I figured it was better than commenting on each post individually, being as I just read the whole thing in one go.twalkernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5710305998106435813.post-86237798981718624782009-08-27T11:32:42.358-07:002009-08-27T11:32:42.358-07:00Hahahaha. I don't even know how to respond to ...Hahahaha. I don't even know how to respond to this. So good. TWalker, I miss you!<br /><br />As far as the caterer, we are required the use them. They actually do a ton of the nicer places in AZ and most of those places use them "exclusively."<br /><br />I think the 80/person is ridiculous too. I'll post the menu in a future post, but here it is:<br /><br />Morning Gathering<br />Fresh Fruit Trifle<br />Garnola,Seasonal Berries, Honey-Vanilla Bean Yogurt, and an Orange Drizzle<br />Potato-Basil Frittata<br />Farm Fresh Eggs with Goat Cheese, Fresh Herbs, and Yukon Gold Potatoes<br />Challah French Toast<br />Cinnamon-Brown Sugar battered with Vermont Maple Syrup<br />Crepes<br />Fresh Made Crepes, Served with Assorted Seasonal Fruit Compote, <br />Cinnamon Sugar & Whipped Butter<br />Breakfast Sausage<br />Links of Spicy Pork Sausage <br />Smoked Salmon<br />Served atop Mini Bagels with Homemade Scallion and Vegetable Cream Cheese, <br />Vine Ripen Roma Tomatoes and Capers<br />Assortment of Breads & Pastries<br />~ Cheddar-Chive Biscuits<br />~ Blueberry-Almond Coffee Cake Muffins<br />Served with Whipped Butter and Homemade Blueberry-Ginger Preserves<br />58.95 per person<br /><br />That includes all of the linens, dishes, silverware, etc. The extra 20/person covers the service fee, tax, bartenders, bar set up, whatever. I don't even know. It certainly gave me a heart attack.<br /><br />I am going to use cake 7 as our reference. I really like the horizontal stripes of number 3, but I'm not down with the bows.<br /><br />And the place isn't necessarily an art museum, so suck it. It does have a gallery, but it's a performing arts space too. It's brand new and holds a lot of really cool events.<br /><br />OK, I don't even know how to reply to all of these comments. In any case, I am glad that 1. you read my blog and 2. you care enough to comment. Keep commenting? I actually appreciate your thoughts. And we need to chat sometime so I can get your advice with the caterer. I haven't been on AIM in a couple years, but I use gchat religiously (c.sepessy@gmail.com). <br /><br />Also, Jo and I are going to head up to Washington at some point. You will have to give us some pointers. I have a feeling that we will end up in the NW for his doctorate. You'll have to let me know if you know anything about the schools up there (obviously you do). <br /><br />I know you moved -- are you still in Bellingham? I read about it allll the time. Seriously, it is profiled in my douchey magazines all the time. I really want to visit.Celestehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15478022096590089850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5710305998106435813.post-41904042111505029322009-08-27T11:11:08.597-07:002009-08-27T11:11:08.597-07:00Random comments:

At least you aren't getting married at Jamba Juice.<br /><br />Cakes 3, 5, and 7 are the best!<br /><br />Seems like you already have the italian sodas figured out, but if you go to a restaurant supply store you can usually find flavored syrups for $2-4 per bottle. Here is a link; although there are none of these in AZ, it might be good for reference: http://www.smartfoodservice.com<br /><br />My girlfriend reads design sponge constantly and I will now be linking her to this blog because i think its the girly kind of thing she would enjoy (although apparantly I enjoyed it enough to write 500 words of comments)<br /><br />Your theme is "zoomed in pictures of various citrus fruit"? I do like candied blood orange peel though.<br /><br />The ceremony area (is there a technical term?) looks very modern and edgy. Which reminds me - you could probably kick your elitism to another notch if you took up art and/or wine as a hobby. They both offer insane opportunities for pretense!<br /><br />Great shirt/tie/jacket.<br /><br />Having done wedding catering, I will say that you are getting taken at $80 a head for brunch. What are you getting for that money? Reference point: I did a "friends price" wedding for one of our bartenders for $3800 for 350 people. Just saying, you might want to shop around a bit unless you are tied by your venue to a specific caterer.<br /><br />butterz E>twalkernoreply@blogger.com
