And so it rumbles on: If the chairs in the place you are getting married look like old academics have been weeing on them every day since 1973, do you get chair covers when it will cost $500 plus tax? Conclusion: Jimmy the Greek, $2, I put them on for you. Pumpkins (non-orange), cake stands (no, but really, are you kidding me?). What the cock is a "wedding programme"? No, I am not paying someone to draw a table plan. No, my guests do not want a biscuit I made 3 days ago in a greaseproof paper bag with a 'custom sticker' on it to take home. Yes, I made my own cakes and no, you do not like fondant icing, and do not pretend you do.
And so it goes on.
But all this is as nothing, for last weekend I was given a fridge magnet that was, like the chair-wetting professors, from 1973 and it, my friends, gives us the only advice any of us will ever need.
(And no, don't bother to comment about the extra apostrophe - everyone else will have noticed as well.)

Was going to ask about bonobos who monkey constantly (according to the nature special people who managed to keep a straight face while saying things like, 'bonobos frequently exchange intimate touches to build close bonds and relieve group stress,' rather than, 'dude! Did you see that one totally fingering the little upside-down one?'
Then I remembered bonobos are apes not monkeys.
Carry on.
okay. I love the way those vase-plate cake stands look, so clever and all, BUT that tape looks a bit anti-physics-proof for cake cutting. I would be the guest/server to pratfall all the pretty cakes onto the floor. Beware.
I agree. Although I did learn today that we have the capability (in house) to cut circles out of plywood. Yes.
I would suggest JB Weld for attaching candlesticks to the bottoms of china.
What a racket weddings have come to be! There's now this entire industry built up around things like wedding planners and wedding favours and centrepieces and decorative bows and chair covers and personalized stamps and programs and and and ... ad nauseum! I admire both of you for sticking to the basics. Should be a lovely wedding!
Wise words for us all.
Ha ha ha Megan you said FINGERING. ha ha ha ha!!!
Thank you for kind words ye others. Confusion yesterday: apparently we have to have an "MC". Was confused. Pathologist has put me right. "If we were having the garter dance or whatever it is people do then ... but we're not. I can tell people to go and eat their dinner."
Oh, surely you must have an MC to announce you, even thought we've seen you already? Someone to say, as you process hand in hand through the doorway: "Please welcome Dr and Mrs French-Canadian Veterinary Research Histopathologist" And then we all applaud like sea lions waiting for a herring".
P.S. Thank God no garter dance. I do not know what that is, but I can imagine and am horrified.

I LOVE fondant icing. Sorry.
Still, your wedding sounds ace even without fondant icing. I might sneak in under somebody's hat.
