@BloodyMediocrity – I’m sorry about your divorce, but it sounds like things are getting on the up and up for you!

@Wendy – I definitely feel pretty happy. I always love your posts and stories, especially things you post about NY. 🙂

@copa, Hi! OMG, that is insane about your friend’s wedding. It seems like even doing something small (like under 50 people) is still expensive and takes as much coordinating as something larger. Just, ugh. Story: I found out about my friend’s $70k price tag because her sister in law is now planning her own wedding for this summer (in Napa). The current budget for it is $120k!!! But also, the mom is also like, “I just don’t see how we can have a cocktail hour without an oyster bar!!” So you can imagine what it’s going to be like. My friend’s wedding was really nice and not crazy over the top – the nice thing (and what I suspect what made it pricey) was that the venue hosted them for 2.5 days and also had some on-site cabins so the wedding party was able to stay there. Planning wise, it helped keep it simple with everything at one location. But it came with a price tag, of course!
