[ljsmith001]

Congrats! Good luck!! What dress are you wearing!? And your bridesmaids?!!? I am so excited for you.. can''t wait for mine!!!!

 

[FrekeChild]

Lj, Harriet is too cool for bridesmaids.

And she's got two fab dresses-a white/gold Chanel for the courthouse and an amazing red Valentino for dinner afterwards.

I really really hope she posts pics.

Harriet-does this mean I need to get on the Ispahan recipe?

And I'm really excited for you!!! (I just had a thought-are you going to wear your Spinel with the Valentino?!)

Thank you!

ljsmith001,
I''m wearing a cream and gold Chanel. We''re keeping it as simple as possible, so there''ll be no bridesmaids. In fact, our reception has been postponed because my mum is ill. So, it''ll just be the two of us at City Hall!
We''ll be counting down for yours soon!

 

[FrekeChild]

Is everything ok with your mom Harriet? I''m sorry to hear that, I hope she gets better soon.

Freke,
Thanks for your concern. She''s still undergoing tests and will know more in a few weeks.

 

[Harleigh]

So sorry to hear about your mother, Harriet, but I''m excited your wedding will still be taking place! I hope it is everything you hoped it would be!

Hi Freke,

I''m sorry I missed this last night.
I''m not too cool for bridesmaids, just too lazy.

Would you believe that the white dress is not yet done? The boutique said that they haven''t found gold ribbon that satisfies them!
Since we''re not having the reception, there''ll be no cake. Thanks though. Also, thanks for your concern about my mum.
Thank you!

So do I. I''m off to read your update.

 

[Harriet]

Help! My dress isn't finished and I doubt my wedding band has been started.

What is up with them not having the gold ribbon? I mean it's nice that their standards are so high, but still...you'd think they'd have access to that kind of stuff.
I'll still have to work on the Ispahan recipe, because I'm still super interested in it.
Are you postponing the reception, or is it completely canceled?
I do hope your mom is alright.

ETA: When are they going to be able to finish the dress? And what's up with Leon and why is he slacking?

Good question. Exactly. At least the red dress is ready.
The reception is postponed till my mum is well enough to travel. Thank goodness! We just found out today that it''s nothing serious.
They say they''ve found an alternate source of gold ribbon which "may" work, but they promise it''ll be done in time.
We, er, sent the work order to Leon a few days before the industry vacation. So he''ll have 3 weeks. Should I take him macarons every day?

 

[FrekeChild]

Should I whip up the Ispahan recipe and you can give him one every day?

Or perhaps nutella since that recipe already exists!

 

[Harriet]

But I can''t cook, let alone bake!

 

[FrekeChild]

Just go buy some cakes and drop them off at Leon''s?

That would make me happy. Heh.

 

[Harriet]

Cupcakes from the Buttercup Bake Shop!

 

[Harriet]

And the bleeping ILs are acting up!

 

[FrekeChild]

Uh oh...Now you''ve got me wanting cupcakes again....

They would totally work. Leon seems like the cupcake type.

 

[Harriet]

Haha. Wherever did you get that impression? Thanks for the laugh.
