My FI is alergic to everything and the whole tux thing was him exactly. My FMIL is just like that and thinks she is crafty (she was a elementry art teacher). I want to meet you this is the best thing I could have read to take all my mind off of my planning and see that someone else feels the same way. I think you are my twin in so many ways and maybe sometime we can meet in Baltimore for a glass of wine and sushi!!!<br /><br />Jen<br />ravens1120@gmail.comLetters to myself...https://www.blogger.com/profile/03274842076092736141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5758883495230409403.post-67025954906303515212009-02-28T03:38:00.000-08:002009-02-28T03:38:00.000-08:00Damn it sounds horrible :PAnd remembers me of my s...Damn it sounds horrible :P<BR/>And remembers me of my soon-to-come-seating-arragement-problem...<BR/>As I even haven't met my H2B's thousands cousins and aunts I will have a BIG problem ;-)Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06259082028779290140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5758883495230409403.post-87824203221949463782009-02-10T11:33:00.000-08:002009-02-10T11:33:00.000-08:00I'm so glad my flaky family can't be bothered to b...I'm so glad my flaky family can't be bothered to be a part of my wedding plans. <BR/>I'm solving the seating issue by having one large long table made out of plywood (to be used for a future swamp house)and people can sit where they want. I'm not assigning seat. If they are sitting next to someone they don't care for who cares. They are all adults and can just suck it up for 20 minutes.Sharpiegirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06841723487254421932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5758883495230409403.post-78616430926726915852009-02-10T10:51:00.000-08:002009-02-10T10:51:00.000-08:00Voila! :-)I'm trying to go with long tables in th...Voila! :-)<BR/><BR/>I'm trying to go with long tables in the hopes we won't have this situation.

This too shall pass.<BR/><BR/>Your current conundrum is exactly why we're not doing a seating chart. Good luck, it's almost here and then it will be over and hopefully all of your parents will go back to driving you crazy about little things that you can deal with.Autumnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16787392184686950891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5758883495230409403.post-26326980417326834382009-02-10T03:44:00.000-08:002009-02-10T03:44:00.000-08:00Hang in there!

I really wanted everyone to just sit where the hell they wanted and spare me the drama. But we came to a very satisfactory conclusion in the end, and I have faith (Jewish, Catholic, the similarities are striking) that you will too!Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08961394308781644374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5758883495230409403.post-54477652356393581062009-02-10T03:28:00.000-08:002009-02-10T03:28:00.000-08:00Oh my word one week only?
