Well, wedding plans were proceeding quite nicely until Sara and Jason ventured onto the Sea of the Guest List, an area fraught with peril. They would like to keep things small and intimate, but the problem for them is that our side of the immediate family numbers 21 (including me and my husband, cousins and spouses, and a great-aunt who will definitely not come but must be invited), while his side of the family numbers into the triple digits. So, Sara is afraid that if they invite the aunts, uncles and cousins on our meager side of the family tree, and DON'T invite the corresponding relatives on Jason's far leafier side of the family tree, hurt feelings and possibly mayhem will ensue.

Tell her not to stress out. We had the same situation with our wedding. Bottom line, we couldn't possibly afford to invite all those people. My side was the far lighter side and John's was the side with all the relatives. On his side, we invited only the people we were close to or saw on a fairly regular basis. HE decided who from his family was invited- no one else. I hate to sound cold but why go bankrupt just to avoid stepping on a few toes? We had made a pact early on that in all matters, he'd handle his own family and I'd handle mine. That way we'd protect each other from any kind of in-law ugliness. A couple of people were unhappy but everybody understood our position. It's a wedding, not a red-carpet event. If somebody truly wants to see the ceremony they can go to the Church (or wherever it is being held). That's what the day is truly about; not the party afterward.

Good luck!!!

It was incredible!!! Totally worth the long drive up here! I nearly started crying during Circle of Life. The actors plasying Rafiki, Scar, and Adult Nala were amazing. I didn't care for the guy playing Adult Simba, though (he was an understudy) - his voice was a bit too high and his lisp was waaaay too obvious. :lol: I can't wait til this show gets down to San Diego next fall, though.

Shame about that - quite often understudys are as good as the main person (a mate of mine is the Mufasa understudy in Germany).

Glad you were not dissapointed though. It's a great show.

I am really hoping to wed on a beach or in Vegas.

I did the beach thing.... the second time...

I did the in front of lots of people thing the first time... and it only got worse from there!

But I was fortunate, that is was my wife's 2nd as well, so we were totally over the big wedding thing.... About 20 family members, a single Arch over head, and clear blue Carolina Skies.... :)

Isle-of-Palms, South Carolina.... sounds very tropical (especially if you leave off the SC part :lol: )

Well, Sara and Jason are hashing out the guest list as I write this (I hope!), and I've been on the phone for the last four days, lining up possibilities for them to consider when they fly home next weekend. I'm willing to do the road work, and pay the bills, but I want the kids to decide what, where, and when. (They've already covered the "who" and the "why" :lol: )

Snowy Saturday huggles for all - it's coming down like crazy.

It's actually pretty snowy here in Seattle, too! It came down pretty good last night, but it's stopped for now.
