It's a barefoot ceremony, GAL. But I did buy shoes yesterday - white sandals, kitten heel, gorgeous. I need something to wear on the watertaxi to the restaurant and during dinner.

Oh this is GREAT news, Karen!! Two weeks! I cannot wait to see the pictures when you get back! Well of course there is still time for more details before you leave and it is so cool to live through all this with you. Love how your maple leave will fit in perfectly too.

Don't even get me started about wedding cakes, Mame. I hate cake and apparently, cake is WAY overpriced.

Whoops, sorry! I totally understand. My SIL's gift to us for the wedding were 2 cakes, one for me and one for dh. She used to do catering so she had connections with an awesome Italian bakery. I'll be happy with the shoe pix too...

OK, we leave on Sunday! I'm in the office right now trying desperately to keep my head in the game. I think today is a total write-off, client wise. I'll just catch up on all leftover admin stuff and make sure my laptop is cleaned up and organized for the intern who is taking over for me for two weeks. I honestly can't wait to see what happens when I'm away... I'm the glue that holds this place together. On a ranting note... quick question. The VP, my boss's wife, asked me last week if I had plans on Weds, cause she wanted to take me out for a mini-stagette. Just the three of us girls who work in the office. Sounds great. We go out, have some drinks, the bill comes and VP grabs it. She makes a comment to the other girl that she can pick up the drinks tab at the next place. Sounded a bit odd to me, but whatever. Next place, other girl picked up the tab. Now we head off for dinner. VP asks if I've ever been to a certain place, I say No. "Oh, then I've GOT to take you there, you'll love it." This is a very fancy place, not the kind of place I'd take myself to. The bill comes, and VP starts breaking it down and announces gleefully that she has enough cash in her wallet to cover her share. The other girl pulls out her credit card to cover her share. I'm sitting there dumbfounded - with not a penny on me and Donners has my bankcard. I now owe the other girl I was with almost $50 to cover my meal and two drinks. Please tell me I have a right to be peeved about this? Was it wrong of me to assume that "Let me take you out" meant I wouldn't have to pay?

Wow, absolutely. That is bizarre. I never heard where the guest of honor gets stiffed with the bill. That really stinks. Leave early today, I would say three hours early should gover the cost of what you got stiffed.

Yes! She invited you. I think it should have been made clear before you left what was expected.

I would hand the money OWED to her husband and ask that he make sure that she receives it. Just to make sure that he KNOWS what she did to you! Oops, you don't owe the wife you owe the other girl. OK, give him the money to give to the girl.

Best wishes for a wonderful wedding and an even more wonderful life together! P.S. I agree, Miss Manners would have been appalled at the dinner bill.

That really is crazy, Karen.. she invited you, she chose the place and the other girl should be pretty miffed as well if they didn't have some deal up front. But.. wishing you safe and fun travel and a magical wedding time. Then we will be jonesing for pictures, of course.
