Multi-topic post
Thanks for posting the comment about Tropical Storm Emily, Linds. I hadn’t even heard about that! Now I can keep track of it. The Eastern Caribbean (including Nevis) is in danger with Tropical Storm Emily, so here’s hoping it calms down before our scheduled arrival. Yikes.
I would also like to send an Internet-wide shout-out to our friend Erin, who was kind enough to send us three gorgeous paintings as a wedding gift. They are absolutely lovely, and I’m crazy about them. Thanks, Erin!
Just because it would be funny to have this post apply to all four of my categories, I will inform you that for dinner tonight, we are going to grill a pork loin (I like it seasoned with cumin and rosemary) and serve it with grilled red peppers and mushrooms. I will plate them up on our lovely square plates that we received as a wedding gift. All food looks good on them. And, being the registry snooper that I am, I saw today that somebody bought the square salad plates too. Woo!
I was under the impression that it is poor etiquette to use (much less advertise that you use) your wedding gifts BEFORE the wedding takes place.
Geez, Anonymous, do you really think people who give wedding presents to their DEAR FRIENDS really give a flying crapola when they use them? If I were one of those people who gave a DEAR FRIEND a wedding gift, I’d be deliriously happy my DEAR FRIEND was so fond of the present. DEAR FRIENDS aren’t mean spirited about things like that. I hope some day you find one.
Hehe…thanks for the protectiveness, Mub. The way I figure it is that if people choose to send gifts before the wedding, then they must want me to have them before the wedding. Also it’s my personal policy that it’s ok to use them as long as I send thank-you notes right away, which I do.
By the way, it’s also poor etiquette to post rude things anonymously. Love ya! Smooch smooch!
well, i do know for sure that you ARE supposed to open gifts as they come and send thank you gifts right away. then what, just leave them sitting gathering dust until after the wedding? i dont think so.
er, i mean thank you notes. notes.
shout back yo!
