Although we ARE always running out of lids for the tupperware. KIDDING! We could cook full course meals for the next 20 years without ever adding a single thing to our kitchen. The chickens would be a much better use of money.Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10439582294571462742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29122639.post-8567325172088474172009-10-19T20:49:15.848-05:002009-10-19T20:49:15.848-05:00So are you really going to make your invitations??...So are you really going to make your invitations??? Wow! That would be preeeetty impressive! <br />We were invited to a wedding last summer where guests could buy gifts thru Heifer International to send to impoverished countries around the world. I think we bought a flock of chickens (they were not blown dry!!!) or something like that. Felt good. They didn't need any Tupperware anyway. ;-)Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14230118372789434756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29122639.post-40395493042075719842009-10-18T16:15:28.620-05:002009-10-18T16:15:28.620-05:00SJ - Those asterisks always have to ruin it for ev...SJ - Those asterisks always have to ruin it for everyone, don't they?!?!<br /><br />Loraine - Sounds like fun! Except for the hurt feet, of course.<br /><br />Maureen - Yeah, why does eloping get such a bad rap? I don't know if I agree on the whole getting through the wedding/getting through the marriage thing though. I had the whole storybook wedding before and I still ended up divorced. Making it through the wedding is no guarantee of anything, I'm pretty sure of that. :-0<br /><br />GOT IT BETH, Got it!!!!! I definitely understand that if we DO elope, you & Gregg are coming with us. :-)<br /><br />Too funny Alf!!

I like the charity idea if you really don't need anything. Although be warned that people are still going to buy you some piece of crap present that you don't need or want. I swear this is because people just like to be difficult.ALFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14009691278000970203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29122639.post-46856428881489276092009-10-16T09:23:29.666-05:002009-10-16T09:23:29.666-05:00Ahahahaha.

But that was nearly 30 years ago, so the pain of all the goof ups is fading. A tad.<br /><br />Now I tell daughter if she wants to get married that I'll just give her money to elope. So much less stress....<br /><br />(yeah, I kid).Maureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01797167028822330935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29122639.post-88606460820032659862009-10-15T21:35:05.889-05:002009-10-15T21:35:05.889-05:00NO ELOPING!!!!

The best wedding we ever had, was when we eloped in my exotic sports car, drove to Vegas, got married at the Excalibur dress up as a night and damsel then hoped back in the sports car and when tearing across the midwest to visit all the old haunts of our youth. <br /><br />It was so much better than a fancy dress, reception and cake......really.....think about it.Bruce Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10898228670873232050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29122639.post-15418444152038195072009-10-15T08:20:11.325-05:002009-10-15T08:20:11.325-05:00hahahahahahah

He said..."weddings are about invitations and table seating and auntie mabel refusing to sit with cousin susan.....weddings are about serviettes and chicken or fish...you have had INSUFFICIENT ANGST to be married!!!!!!!!"<br />But seriously, glasses. You can never have enough glasses. People like me will always come around and break a few for you...<br />PS: I didn't realise you were such a crafty CARD maker!!!! VERY impressive.

Adding another pie pan to this household would practicably be BEGGING and PLEADING for obesity! :-) :-) :-)Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10439582294571462742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29122639.post-65677734209949848232009-10-14T22:41:02.161-05:002009-10-14T22:41:02.161-05:00My train of thought a few minutes ago: presents!
