DX: Unexplained, possible Endo. October 2014: Letrozole + Trigger + IUI = BFP!!! Beta #1: 32 Beta #2: 77. Little Miss E born July 9th, 2015 Previously DarcyHermione
Edit: our venue was on a dry campus which was why.
The UOs many months ago that were tearing dry weddings to shreds made me duck and hide. It wasn't really my choice, it was the venue's.
I wasn't here many months ago to participate in that UO, but that is lame. I had way more fun at the dry wedding I went to than I did at the cash bar wedding I went to where it felt very conspicuous that we weren't drinking because we couldn't afford more than a couple $7 drinks each. I feel like the problem with a cash bar wedding is it makes some people "less than" because they can't or don't want to pay for alcohol, when at a dry wedding at least everyone's on the same footing (unless it's tiered and the WP only get to drink or something like that).

Only 30 more minutes until the taco food truck gets to my work. I've been looking forward to this for like a week now. I want all the tacos in my belly.
I hate cash bars too, but I've been to dry weddings where I would have preferred to pay for a drink than sit through it sober. So, I guess my preferences are:
open bar (wine and beer is fine) > cash bar > dry wedding
But then dry weddings are mostly because of religious/cultural concerns, no?
We had a dry wedding. We barely had any money and H' s parent's paid for the reception and dj.
Oooohhhhhkay there.. I just accidentally farted at work and it was loud. Awwwwkkkkwwwaaarrrddd. And it's lunch time so it's really quiet as people eat at their desks. FFWC.

Same. I would have gladly served it, but I was in love with our venue. It's not like it stopped anyone. My parents brought booze in their car and people would duck out to the parking lot every so often.

I have never even heard of the phrasing "1 seat is reserved" for wedding invites. I get that some people can't afford to invite a ton of people but if you can't invite an entire couple don't invite them at all. I'd never go to a wedding alone! Well, when I was single I never took plus ones but since being with DH I'd always take him.
Usually that's a subtle way to say "no kids, please" by saying 2 seats reserved instead of just letting them fill in that 6 people are coming. But not inviting spouses? Super tacky. Heck, after a certain age, not giving +1s to single people is tacky in my book. I think I only had two people bring a random plus one, and even though I'd sent both of them +1 invitations they both even asked to make sure it was okay since they weren't bringing a serious boyfriend.
Honestly, hearing about the shenanigans some guests pull, I realized that my friends are the most awesome people ever. All my people RSVPed on time and added zero drama to the process.
As to booze, no to cash bars, period. If you can only do limited options of beer/wine, then only do that. We didn't have liquor and there were no complaints. We also had about 15-20 guests who we knew were recovering alcoholics, so we had a fancy coffee/hot chocolate station with lots of syrups and toppings. Drinker and non-drinkers alike actually loved that.

I wish we had thought of the hot chocolate bar daisy818 that's great!
jubilantsquirrel I wanted to go to the taco truck near my gym (yes, ironic) so badly earlier this week...but it was shut down by the time I got there. I ate a sad salad instead. Tragic.

Remember the huge Powerball jackpot last month? I just learned the winner here in Florida is someone I work with! I only know him in passing but it's still really cool that he won.

That is tragic! I would share my tacos with you if I could.

We had a 5 hour open top shelf bar and then dessert liquors for the cake and dessert bar.
Home from egg retrieval they got 8 eggs. I was really hoping they'd get more. I'm pretty disappointed but I'm hoping for a good fertilization report tomorrow.

Ohhhhh. I didn't think of that mostly because I would never want to bring my kid to a wedding lol.

Wow that's cool. I wonder if he will keep working.

notagoddess and jubilantsquirrel, it's a very large company so I don't see him often. But I just checked his account and he was here on Monday and says he will be back next Monday. They only just came forward as the winners today. He's 55 and has over 20 years with the company so I'm hoping he's coming in Monday to say "See ya later! I'm retiring effective now!"

That is so cool sleepymonkey ...though I'd never set foot back in this place unless it was to say something a little stronger, ha!

I'm waiting for calls back from our Realtor and Mortgage Processor. Our Realtor said there was a possibility I could see inside today. That was around 10ish. It looks like I'll have to wait for another day I already made the list of all the measurements I want to take.

I hope you can get into the house soon penguin129 so you can get all the measurements you need!
I'm dying right now. All the wedding talk got me looking at some old pictures on my FB. I was going through pictures from my Bachelorette party and I completely forgot about the bedazzled dildo I wore around my neck and waste all night long. It was pretty much the best decorative dildo ever.
