Ya know there's a weddin (pronounced in your best southern drawl) a comin when... a toaster over arrives in the mail and girls begin to squeal and clap with glee.
You know there's a weddin' a comin' when... you walk out of BevMo with enough booze to open a neighborhood bar.
And you know there's a weddin' a comin' when... you're polishing the silver.
But you should've seen the tarnish!
Let us assure you, that set never had it so good.
Well, not since Bubby.
Renie's Bubby has made several essential contributions from the great beyond: loaning us her vintage linens, and letting us steal the silver!
Also, we are so excited to have our friend Jack's SILVERBACK COFFEE at the wedding. We wanted to really showcase what we think is, legitimately, the best coffee we've ever had in our lives. What better way, than to shine up the antique silver set.
Thanks Bubby. And thanks Jack and Jen for the beans.
More to come very very soon. Just had to show you the silver. We think it was very Downtown Abbey of us, but we're not sure because we don't watch the show. But from what we've been able to ascertain, polishing the silver is soooooooo downstairs.
In other news: We wish to thank everybody who has helped us celebrate our wedding. Your calls and texts, the stream of response cards, many of which are extravagantly punctuated with exclamation marks, smiley faces and hearts, have meant so much.
That is not a throw-away line. We are truly blown away by your kindness and generosity.
This brings up the issue of the Happy Hour Power Shower (heretofore HHPS). Our dear friends/soul sistas Antonia, Nicole, and Michele, conspired to throw a shower for two very anti-shower people. (NOTE: We are very uncomfortable with this whole attention thing. People gathering to celebrate our love with us is very confusing, and often overwhelming. We won't get into it here, but let's just say, as I'm sure any married couple could attest, it's alot to take. In a good way!! But, alot.)
Anyway, Nic picked a PERFECT spot, just up the street from us The Churchill. It was amazing!!! Some of our favorite people actually showed up. There were no treacherous games, just really nice snapshot pitches from people, who said really nice things about us! There was this cake from Nothing Bundt Cake which may or may not have changed our lives. Antoniabegonia came in all the way from Nawlins just to be here with us. AND!!! We got presents! And the most brilliant cards from people! Here's the thing:
This. Never. Happens.
Except when there's a wedding coming.
ok, love you guys
can't wait to see you!
