We provided meals for some of our vendors. I think the photographers and wedding coordinator. The band ate before they came. The reception musicians left before dinner. I don't believe the caterer asked us about providing food for their staff.
I wonder if I should say something to the host or continue to bite my tongue. I think I'll say nothing. H is cracking me up with jokes about it this morning, he's thinking of skipping it himself. I was invited to a kid's b-day party, being CFNBC it's known that I would be the one attending the party. It was a while after I RSVP'd that I was informed that adults wouldn't be provided any refreshments/fed anything.
pismoduo I just noticed Mrs. Krabappel has a Charlie Brown candle, aren't the Simpsons awesomely random?
The little things they put in the Simpsons really makes that show.
Also, if I were you, I'd totally show up to this party with my own food. Sometime absolutely delicious. And then don't share with the other adults.
Definitely agree. I side eye people who don't feed their vendors at weddings.
You mean like the photographer and baker and DJ and stuff?
To me, these people are not guests. They are working and I am paying them to do their job. That being said I wouldnt care if the waiters grabbed a bite out back, or the DJ grabbed some dessert and drink or something but I wouldnt set out a table to feed staff. That seems pretty unprofessional to me, and as a waitress I would feel really uncomfortable eating when I was supposed to be working.
Is this just me? Am I a terrible person? It's ok if the answer is yes.
It was in my contracts to feed the photogs, dj, video people. My venue provided them a basic meal at a reduced price. I'm surprised most vendors don't put it in their contracts.
We didn't have assigned seating at our wedding (the horror) but made sure we had plenty of food for our vendors. Most of them were with us from 2-10 and wouldn't have gotten dinner otherwise.
I'm at this church thing for the community. So many kids named Hudson.

So, I went straight from a work event this morning to the airport. I'm headed to Chicago to meet girlfriends for the Cards/Cubs game (well, post-game party, at this point), and headed back home in the morning. As I was in the restroom to change from my suit dress into my Cardinals gear, I realized I forgot one thing...

I have leggings that I was planning to wear to bed tonight. I refuse to wear them without something covering my naughty parts. I'd rather wear the suit all night. I'm just going to start drinking, now.
Philly has been preparing to host Francis and three public events for the past year.
A speech at Independence Hall on Saturday; a festival on Saturday night and mass on Sunday. It's shutting down most of Philadelphia for several days.
Courts close Tuesday, fences go up this week for secure zones, etc. I live two blocks from the festival and mass so my neighborhood is heavily affected.
That must be very exciting!!! Enjoy the chaos, these kinds of things don't happen so often without you needing to leave home!

Maybe buy some sweatpants at the team store when you get to the game?

Im hoping that Midway has a clothing store or two so I can buy some jeans in the airport. I just found out that this plane continues on to Vegas from Chicago. I might just keep going...

We spent the morning splitting and stacking wood to heat the house for the winter. The splitter ran out of gas so we had to run out to get more and I just totally lost my drive to start again. I want a nap. Or wine.

Pope-pocalypse is starting. Francis took off from Rome this morning. He's headed for Cuba first, then the US.
Preparations are in full swing in my neighborhood. It's actually a bit exciting.
We moved from Philly a few months ago, and H and I are so sad to miss this event! Although many of my friends are dreading the city being shut down, I think it would have been so exciting to be so close to all of the action. Enjoy the crazy!
And also, happy birthday singingsea! Jealous of your DS sleeping til 9 - can't remember the last time (if ever) mine did that.

Where did you move to??
We have tickets to Independence Hall! We tries for the other two events, too, but demand was overwhelming. We should be able to hear a lot of it based on where we live, though!
We spent 6 hours today at church making sure no one got hurt on inflatables. I'm sunburnt and have a headache but there is a beer in my hand and dinner in the oven.
So I thought hey I'm just going to run into ikea real quick and get some curtains. And then I realized IKEA. Saturday. OMG. Forevers later I got my curtains but Holy people. Reminded me why I only go out during the week.
My best friend just text me a pic of her wedding dress. It's beautiful. But the lady who did the alterations added white fabric to an ivory gown. Should I tell her (BFFs eyes aren't great) or just keep mum? (Wedding is in two weeks)
