I don’t know the terms of fair use, so I don’t want to download the picture and post it here. However, I can e-mail it to you using The Knot’s software (the “share with a friend” kind of thing). SO – if you want to see the ugliest wedding cake ever, but don’t want to bother with a Knot membership, either put your cleverly-disguised e-mail into the combox or e-mail me at my cleverly-disguised e-mail, clamrampant at yahoo dot com.

Blogging’s been a bit light over the past few months, as you may have noticed, and it’s probably going to get lighter before it gets heavier. Between working both jobs, wedding plans, maintaining my home, marriage prep classes, maintaining my relationship with my fiancé, trying to keep in touch with friends, and family obligations…well, I’m a tired little monkey, and the last thing I’m apt to think when I get home to eat dinner at 9 or 10 o’clock is “Gee, I should blog!”
Don’t get me wrong; I love blogging, and I love my readers. But now I’m developing some minor health issues; really nuisance things in the grand scheme, but on top of everything else they’re the proverbial straw and I’m the camel’s back.
Sooo…I expect to be back to near-normal by Easter, and hope to blog periodically between now and then, but in the meantime, don’t be surprised if my posts are fewer and shorter than usual.
Love you guys!

The dress came yesterday. Because I was afraid of my cats doing something to it, from launching long-distance fur missiles to getting up close and personal with their still-attached claws, I managed to resist the temptation to open the box right away. But now I’m going stir crazy, so TBS and I are going to open it up tomorrow evening. Further bulletins as events warrant…
The Canuck and I are pretty sure we’ve settled on our reception location: Picano’s in Troy. However, we first have to go sample their wares, so we probably won’t book that until the end of this month or the beginning of next. But they didn’t think it would be an issue this far out – there aren’t that many January weddings in Troy, apparently – so that’s more or less on schedule.
I also found a potential pair of shoes, but can’t make my decision until I have seen the dress on me. Likewise with the veil – I have it narrowed down to a couple of styles, but can’t decide for sure until the dress has gone on. We’ve pretty much settled what color the bridesmaid dresses will be (some sort of burgundy or wine shade, with gold as the accent), but we’re not ordering those until after Lent, as one of my bridesmaids is expecting her measurements to change significantly during that time. I’m not going to even try to get my alterations done until at least summer, probably fall.
Do any metro Detroiters here have recommendations for cakes and photographers? Feel free to e-mail me at clamrampant at yahoo dot com if you know someone who’s especially good (and preferably not too expensive)…thanks!
Oh – and we’ve started marriage prep at church. We’re supposed to meet with the premarital counselor in a couple of weeks. NFP is proving to be…interesting. I’ve spent most of my pubescent life trying to ignore the very things I have to now closely observe and chart. Blech. :-p
