YAY!

I am the best straight male wedding planner you could possibly have. Seriously, I know it all.

― the D Double signal (nordicskilla), Monday, 13 June 2005 20:17 (twenty-one years ago)

alright, tell me what you know about cakes.

― Allyzay flies casual (allyzay), Monday, 13 June 2005 20:18 (twenty-one years ago)

I can offer you an ox as ring bearer which I will ritually slaughter and serve up for the wedding reception.

― Ed (dali), Monday, 13 June 2005 20:20 (twenty-one years ago)

oh snap. Ed wins.

― Allyzay flies casual (allyzay), Monday, 13 June 2005 20:22 (twenty-one years ago)

alright, tell me what you know about cakes.

If you are having an outside wedding, make sure that you use an icing that will not

a) melt
b) attract bugs

― the D Double signal (nordicskilla), Monday, 13 June 2005 20:22 (twenty-one years ago)

I would recommend a three-tiered cake with different flavors and fillings - something for everyone. You can even use a fake tier.

― the D Double signal (nordicskilla), Monday, 13 June 2005 20:23 (twenty-one years ago)

wear something on which the blood will not show, ok.

― Ed (dali), Monday, 13 June 2005 20:24 (twenty-one years ago)

I would like to have a cake that is not white, but perhaps, like, bright orange, or teal.

― Allyzay flies casual (allyzay), Monday, 13 June 2005 20:25 (twenty-one years ago)

Won't they be bathing in the blood anyway, Ed?

― Jimmy Mod Is Great At Getting Us Into Trouble (ModJ), Monday, 13 June 2005 20:25 (twenty-one years ago)

You should really start a 'plan my wedding' thread and take solicitations from ILXors like Star Jones

― Jimmy Mod Is Great At Getting Us Into Trouble (ModJ), Monday, 13 June 2005 20:26 (twenty-one years ago)

I would like to have a cake that is not white, but perhaps, like, bright orange, or teal.

This is very possible, and you won't have to compromise on flavor or texture. Make sure to shop around and try lots of cake.

― the D Double signal (nordicskilla), Monday, 13 June 2005 20:26 (twenty-one years ago)

Do not keep any of your cake. Make sure to eat it all.

I chose the top tier of ours myself and greatly enjoyed eating it.

― the D Double signal (nordicskilla), Monday, 13 June 2005 20:27 (twenty-one years ago)

Also -

Everyone will have an opinion. DO NOT LISTEN.

― the D Double signal (nordicskilla), Monday, 13 June 2005 20:27 (twenty-one years ago)

Wait, wedding planning without me? :-(

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 13 June 2005 20:28 (twenty-one years ago)

I never underrstood that, keeping the cake. I mean does that really even work, freezing it for like a YEAR and then eating it? Wouldn't it get really nasty?

Also the blood spatters would probably go bad over a year.

xpost u r OTM about this opinion thing you know.

― Allyzay flies casual (allyzay), Monday, 13 June 2005 20:28 (twenty-one years ago)

Do NOT listen to anyone, even your family or your best friend! OR your fiance!

― the D Double signal (nordicskilla), Monday, 13 June 2005 20:29 (twenty-one years ago)

Don't even listen to me!

― the D Double signal (nordicskilla), Monday, 13 June 2005 20:29 (twenty-one years ago)

there should be 96 tiers on your cake

― laurence kansas (lawrence kansas), Monday, 13 June 2005 20:29 (twenty-one years ago)

as long as you have an open bar, do whatever!

― mookieproof (mookieproof), Monday, 13 June 2005 20:29 (twenty-one years ago)

Have the reception AT Hooters.

― milozauckerman (miloaukerman), Monday, 13 June 2005 20:31 (twenty-one years ago)

DON'T LISTEN TO HIM!

― Jimmy Mod Is Great At Getting Us Into Trouble (ModJ), Monday, 13 June 2005 20:31 (twenty-one years ago)

Actually, Mookie speaks wisdom.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 13 June 2005 20:31 (twenty-one years ago)

isnt teal a sort of duck?

― ambrose (ambrose), Monday, 13 June 2005 20:31 (twenty-one years ago)

yes. I want a cake made out of duck, and ox blood, with 734 tiers.

― Allyzay flies casual (allyzay), Monday, 13 June 2005 20:32 (twenty-one years ago)

Yum!

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 13 June 2005 20:33 (twenty-one years ago)

Get all your vendors to SIGN agreements of some kind. Don't feel like a dick doing it, we had a photographer bail on us at some unfortunate moment.

― the D Double signal (nordicskilla), Monday, 13 June 2005 20:35 (twenty-one years ago)

Wedding planning is best kept off ilx. Except maybe I should have gotten an ilx dj.

― Leon C. (Ex Leon), Monday, 13 June 2005 20:36 (twenty-one years ago)

rice krispie treat cake!!

― teeny (teeny), Monday, 13 June 2005 20:36 (twenty-one years ago)

I think Donut would make a good wedding DJ.

― jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 13 June 2005 20:37 (twenty-one years ago)

Get it from here

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Monday, 13 June 2005 20:37 (twenty-one years ago)

What corporate sponsors are you going to get??? I suggest Grey Goose and Canada Dry. thx.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Monday, 13 June 2005 20:37 (twenty-one years ago)

you need oatmeal as a binding agent.

― Ed (dali), Monday, 13 June 2005 20:38 (twenty-one years ago)

Our DJs were BIKERS. I forbade them to play "I've Had The Time Of My Life" or "Celebration".

― the D Double signal (nordicskilla), Monday, 13 June 2005 20:38 (twenty-one years ago)

ugh no ILX DJ!!! ILX photographer.

xpost those are pretty good corporate sponsors, though maybe Vera Wang might still be interested...

― Allyzay flies casual (allyzay), Monday, 13 June 2005 20:38 (twenty-one years ago)

My friend told his wedding DJ, "play whatever you want, but if you want to get paid then NO JIMMY F*CKING BUFFET."

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Monday, 13 June 2005 20:39 (twenty-one years ago)

- Cake is terrible after a year. Trust me, don't save it.

- if anyone in your wedding party is breastfeeding, make sure they child is fed WELL BEFORE the ceremony

- if you are getting married in front of a fountain, don't let Tom drink a lot of beer beforehand while he waits for your breastfeeding maid of honor to hurry the hell up and feed the kid

- if you are told to hang your veil over a hanger in the bathroom to steam out any wrinkles, hang it by the comb or whatever you will use to attach to your head because otherwise you will end up with a hanger indent in your veil. Not as pretty as you'd think.

- don't let your sister (the aforementioned breasfeeder) apply nailpolish right before you show her how to bustle your dress

- disposable cameras on the tables are kinda cool

- find someone to follow you around at all times with a bottle of champagne, so as to give you frequent refills, and don't forget to eat *something*, even if it's just a little.

More as I think of it.

The woman that designed Zellweger's dress designed my wife's dress! (so I'm told)

xp who knows that "Tootsie Roll" song? I heard it, for the first time, at my own wedding.

― the D Double signal (nordicskilla), Monday, 13 June 2005 20:40 (twenty-one years ago)

hire some conservatory trained russian classical musicians. they are normally to be found busking in metros, and on stage at the weekend at ther mariinsky. i reckon you could knock up a quartet for $400 + air fare. theres probably some knocking about in NY

― ambrose (ambrose), Monday, 13 June 2005 20:40 (twenty-one years ago)

Yes, don't forget to eat!

― the D Double signal (nordicskilla), Monday, 13 June 2005 20:41 (twenty-one years ago)

Of the many reasons Luna is cool, one of the best is her practical advice. :-)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 13 June 2005 20:42 (twenty-one years ago)

PLAN MY WEDDING

xpost omg if either of my maid of honors are breastfeeding at the time of my wedding it'd either be A) a miracle B) the ruin of my dad's life.

It is okay, I have everything under control. I have hired Ween to play at the reception, and the drinks available will be Iron City Beer, Sprite, and Cuervo Gold. My mother has offered to make the cake herself. Also, I am going to have all my buddies I have been able to track down from when I was 17 until the present in attendance as groomsmen, and we have some canary yellow linen tuxedos with drawstring pants lined up. You mom and dad will be getting a bill in the mail from the online build-your-wedding service I found while bored at work today. You should have seen it, it was totally easy to use.

― TOMBOT, Monday, 13 June 2005 20:46 (twenty-one years ago)

Haha I hope you liked my dad's collection of guns! Cos he gon' use it on you now, son!

― Allyzay flies casual (allyzay), Monday, 13 June 2005 20:53 (twenty-one years ago)

This is reminding me that I will DJ my own wedding with whoever my future spouse is, splitting down the middle on song choice, firing up the iPod and leaving it at that.
