Wedding planning, bride-style
Emily shared this snippet of an email she sent on the subject of wedding planning, and I thought it was hilarious:

"So for things like invitations and flowers and alcohol, we're like.... 'COSTCO!!!!' For vendors, we're like, 'fresh out of art-school photographer, CHECK! pornstar moustache DJ, CHECK! Crazy lady who bakes cakes out of her house, CHECK! Ebay flowergirl dresses and bridal accessories, CHECK! DIY favors, CHECK!'"

OH, the other good thing about this, is that you don't just write one big $10,000 check on March 1, 2009 or whatever. You make a deposit here, a deposit there, a small purchase here, a small purchase there. So, it's not like school tuition where you have to come up with it all at once, it's like, instead of buying a bunch of new clothes this season, I'm going to buy a wedding dress; instead of going out drinking every weekend this month, I'm going to spend $200 on invitations. Instead of buying a coffee every day this week, I'm going to spend $20 on a veil. Instead of taking a class this month, I'm going to buy a ball of hobby wire and hand-make ferrero rocher wire-flower favors. That sort of thing."
