up, down, back, forth, push, pull, good, bad

wedding planning is kinda like that...

one day i'm all about it, the next i want no part of it.

last night we went to this fairly useless wedding thing held at/during the museum of the city of new york 'speakeasy' night... (STRONG drinks - i had one and was drunk!)
MCNY is a beautiful place for a wedding. generally more than i would have wanted to spend on the site, but currently that fee is 50% off due to recession.

oh, and probably due to the fact that after May 2010, they are going into construction...
would have been nice to have been told that BEFORE we stood there and waited for our tour...

ok, but there were other vendors there too... and i found one hit and one big fat miss...

the caterer for the event was one that i wanted to speak to... until i tasted their phyllo-wrapped asparagus and surmised that the asparagus was from a CAN. seriously, its august. fairway is stocking some gorgeous asparagus. and this caterer is using the canned stuff??? (it is possible that it was fresh and so badly prepared that it tasted canned, but i dont know that that would be any better...) so scratch them off of the list.

on the flip side, we were flipping through a HIDEOUS wedding album when another photog came over to chat with us - mentioned that the album we were viewing wasnt really her style (thank god hideous wasnt her style!) and gave us a card... jaydgardinaphotography.com... love her pictures and it appears that she's reasonably priced. WOO! i think we'll definitely talk to her when the time comes...

anyway, you'd think that i woke up this morning disgusted by the process, but totally the opposite. the more i see that i hate/wont work, the more confident i feel in our current 'front runners'...

hell, if it wasnt for waiting for that pesky nascar schedule, i'd be ready to call landmark and book it RIGHT NOW.

cant wait for our catering meetings this weekend - real foods and world wide events... should be fun!
