FYI, I refuse to drink champagne out of anything but crystal, although no more Cristal since the Jay-Z thing.

Do people really get bent out of shape about stuff like this?

So long as I get fed and have a cocktail or two, I'm delighted to celebrate whatever the occasion is.

That's not bad, but its not truly a successful event unless, during the course of the evening, I get to sneak away with a drunken bridesmaid (or other wanton guest) to some hidden alcove or other vesitbule. npi.

In a similar vein, I have decided that Kate, she of the Jon and the Plus Eight, is a castrating bitch, although nice enough to look at as M8ILFs go.

In a moment of prescience, back on September 18th I cashed out some investments in funds tied to the Dow and put the money into champagne so that I could drink well while the world went to hell, and, the investment is paying off, instead of being down five figures I am knee deep in French bubbly. At least a bottle a night, two on Saturdays.

Other recs:

Camille Saves, 02 in the magnums
Pierre Peters 99
Larmandier bernier blancs de blanc and 99.

Tonight though, in honour of the release of the Nouveau I am pouring some real Beaujolais. The Gamay grape is a honourable sort and needs to be recognized for more than the glorified grape juice of the Nouveau release. Instead some Fleurie from Pierre-Marie Chermette. Smashing!

Cheers,

While touching, Less' reliance on antiquated snail-mail for messages of this importance is but one of the reasons that his destiny is to be overrun by starving and overpopulated hordes.

Those of us who understand the importance of such an invitation have already send B'n'B a touching message by PM, email, and Facebook. Moreover, I have engaged Flinty to pilot on my behalf one of those magnificent skywriting flying machines over relevant parts of Florida.

http://s2.thisnext.com/media/230x230...t_C8CB6F29.jpg

I think it's kind of a cool idea. The one at our table would be bigger for the cake cutting and when it came time to eat wedding cake, the servers could just bring out cake cutters and people could serve themselves however much they wanted. I think it would work because the venue has different spaces for each of the dinner, dancing and the ceremony, so even though dinner will be outside in most-likely warm weather, the cakes (as centerpieces) only need to be on the tables during dinner.

What do you think? I'll be over here in my princess bed watching Grey's reruns while you think about it.

TM

I definitely like the idea of an edible centerpiece that looks flowery. Except I don't think I'd want a cake that imitates a terracotta pot -- too much brownish color and also, this pic only has a few low growing flowers (artificial impatiens). I'd go for a cake that imitates a glazed pot in a cool color (or white on white elegant basketweave) and then have edible flowers that are a bit taller (or have a real container, like an upscale ceramic/china that someone at the table could take home and use for plants. Like a china blue pattern). Even better, I think a centerpiece of cupcakes could be made to give a "flower" feeling. Because the cupcakes are stacked (like the bride, I'm sure). Also, a cupcake stack will be a good ice breaker at the table as people (inexplicably) get positively giddy over cupcakes. When you and the bride cut the cake, folks will grab their little cupcakes and will be all into it. I am on a permanent, never ending wedding circuit these days and nobody wants to eat the boring sheet cake cut by the bride/groom. In fact, some people even think the cake they're eating isn't even cut by them but instead, the kitchen has a bunch of slices they start handing out on cue after the cutting. Cupcakes -- *sniff*. Fringey where are you?

We had no cake. Dessert was a enormous assortment of homemade Italian cookies, cannoli, single serving cakes, etc. You could eat/take whatever you wanted. The dessert table had its own room. There were probably enough desserts for 400 people. I don't know if it was gimmicky, but if it was, don't tell the Italian lady who made it all. She. Will. Be. Pissed.

Agreed. I'll add that a good dance floor can make a huge difference, too. Everyone likes to see Coltrane getting jiggy with it.

I haven't watched +8 in a while, but does Jon even work anymore? He seems to be around a lot, and the family seems to have plenty of money for that many kids and a dad who supposedly is a computer consultant. I wonder what TLC pays them?

The Wikipedia talk page for the show says that they do speaking engagements, mostly at churches, where attendees are encouraged to buy autographed photos and to make "cash love offerings" for the family. I think the veiled reference to a job change with more flexible hours may be just that. Also, Jon recently accepted a free hair transplant under the theory that his receding hairline is the fault of his "stressful" family -- by which I assume he means his shrew of a wife.

Even though the bride is stacked, I'm gonna say no on the cupcake concept. I don't like it at all, even though I love cupcakes.

When do the B/G cut more than a slice? I can't remember ever seeing them cut the whole thing . . . it's always sliced by some professional with as deft a touch as Zorro and a bunch of plate handlers. Dragging a cake from the kitchen would take as long as these folks do to get it out (where it sits on the table while people get jiggy wit' or with it.

My sister's wedding had 1500+ attendees so they pre-sliced a whole bunch of cake in advance.

What the hell show is this?

In 8 years, when it's in syndication, I'm sure I'll tune in and think I've discovered some new gem of a tv show.

It's called Jon and Kate plus 8 and it's on TLC. I have not watched it ever because it sounds terrifying.

It is. And fascinating all at the same time. I've stumbled on it while channel surfing, and have watched a few episodes. Probably the most fun is watching efforts for the parents to get away without the kids. Because the parents don't want to drop off eight kids with one volunteer (or they can't find anyone crazy enough to host all eight kids at once), the parents drive all over tarnation, dropping off kids. The editing is such that you'll watch for 10 minutes - "we dropped off [x] and [y] at [z]'s house, [a] and [b] at [c']s house," and then realize that they still have four kids to go.
