and so it appears

That we just might have chosen a caterer. It still comes out more than we really wanted to spend...
Which somehow seemed inevitable...
But, it seems like we'll be getting the most put together person/company for our money.
Decent food (VERY important), a larger staff (can't really go wrong, can you?) and a company that will have someone there even if our person is sick. Multo bene!! (Sorry... too much cheezburger).
Anyway, now all I have to do is NOT freak out about this particular bill.
I mean, we're saving money elsewhere. Everything for my dress? $400.
Our photog? Well, that remains to be seen.
Suffice to say, with my aunt making the cake (hooray for advance wedding present) a cousin to do VERY basic flowers (just bouts, bouqs and corsages, thx) and my loving (thank goodness I have her) mother doing the invites, it could really be worse.
I mean, for some, we're figuring in that we'd have to buy soda (included in this price)... and then rentals. (I think we're getting a pretty darned decent deal.) So many things to think about JUST for the caterer!!! AAAAHHHHHH!!! It sucks to be a foodie sometimes.
Anyway, I think the decision is made. I think the fi and I are just suffering from sticker shock. That and the fi has that nasty bug that's been going around, so getting him to think through the congestion is kinda tough.
And we'll hopefully see a bit more money come in. There are some things in the works that I'd rather not jinx.
Oh, and to top off the wedding stress, there's also LEASE nonsense. Don't get me started.
But if we wait two years... then there would be psycho prego lady to deal with, instead of just bride to be.
Sorry if this is a bit... random. Bogle Cabernet Sauvingnon has a bit of a kick.
But, I'll sleep well.
