The wedding sale is off! I think I got enough to have a good wedding. 😀
The damage is:
Both kinglets sold (Brown and emerald) Both shipped.
The flame OW, should the buyer still want it. Sold and shipped.
My green fledge (That one hurt…)-Sold, shipped.
Arllas brown tabby griffin = Sold, shipped.
Momma griffin w/purple. Sold-shipped
Gothic goat (Another painful one…)
I think the wizards are sold, though I am not sure… ??
All in all, not tooo painful and this is for a good cause.
I may even get married in a chapel!! (Its $300)
Thanks girl! Besides a $100 goof on the price of the mother griffin (Thought I paid $380 for her, turns out it was $480) everything went fine. I should be able to afford a little chapel and a cake if I want it. 😀 Plus shopping… lots and lots of shoppping!! Gotta have a wedding trousseau right? 😛 Also a wonderful forum member is sending me a dress, so if we decide to have it in a chapel and his grandparents are not there, I can look exceptionally pretty and not a bit ostentacious! 😀 Its beautiful and simple. Perfect for what I had in mind.
For those who bought, items will go out NLT Tuesday! I want to get them out today, but am still waiting on some payments. I may just make two trips.

Oh I am sure they would love it! Its my tattoos they would take exception to. I am not in the mood to be worried about what his old fashioned grandparents might think of me just because im tattood and balled up 😛 I am sure I will have enough on my mind that day w/o adding on to it.

Ah!!! I don’t blame you. You don’t need the added stress!!! 🙂
I have tattoos but they are on my legs… 🙂 A easy and cheep way to do the cake is to get a plain white sheet cake and a round cake and decarate them with silk or fake flowers. That is what I did and it turned out great and I spent $25.00 for the cakes! 😉
The chocolate cake was my aunts idea, its the grooms cake.
See…
I have tatts on my legs, too. 😆 That cake is awesome!!! I would do it myself (or better yet, let my mother do it since she does that kind of thing) but I am gonna let someone else worry about it. I just wanna tell em what I want and pick it up… or do they deliver? Also, since we are on the subject, do you tip the cake maker? How about the person at the chapel who marries you? I know when you get married in a church, its customary to make a donation, but what about at a wedding chapel? Maybe I should google it… 😆
That I am not sure about, I got the cakes at a local grocery store (it was a good cake too) and we got married in our living room… we didn’t have A LOT to get married on and here a simple wedding was still A LOT of money, we just bought our house so money was tight. At a Wedding Chaple it was still over $1,000 to have a “Simple small wedding”. 😯 So those questions I have no answers to, wish that I did though! 🙂
Googleing is a good idea!
$1000? Holy crap! I thought $300 was expensive… course thats cuz the review I read said it was only $150… I think I will tip them both, depending on service. 😆 Those are the only two folks I believe will be involved in the wedding, so I can swing that.
Ski, have Paul’s mother order the cake at a decent local grocery/bakery. Most of them can make a nice wedding cake and it won’t cost nearly as much as getting it from a specialty baker or a caterer. Also, no tip is required for the cake too. You just need a volunteer to cut the cake for you at the wedding dinner. 😉

THe bakery I contacted is in Springfield, the same zip code as his mothers and the chapel, so I think it will be perfect! She mos def knows the place well. Looking at that pic, I am guessing I should have cheese and crackers, and other finger foods, hu?
That was my husbands moms doing there with a TON of finger foods! It was enough to feed an Army (no pun intended! lol) I made a finger food, Michael’s dad and step mom made one each and Michael’s mother did the rest! 😯 Lots Of Food!!! That picture doesn’t show ALL the food that was there! 😯
Okay, this is the best site I’ve seen.
Gratuities:
Officiant (Clergy, Priest, Minister etc) – Although officiants do not usually ask for financial recompense for their services they do expect you to make a donation to the church or their organization. As to the amount of the donation, traditionally they will suggest an amount when you finalize arrangements with them. The amount varies from a flat fee to an honorarium and can range from $50 up to $500. If you are expecting the officiant to travel outside of their local area then you should also compensate them for their travel costs. Do not directly offer a tip to an officiant. The nominated tip giver should pass the agreed amount to the officiant after the ceremony. If you are using the services of a civil servant, such as a judge, Justice of the Peace or a City Clerk, then you are allowed to tip them (although it should be called a “donation” rather than “tip”) provided you do not exceed $75 and you must ensure that it is paid to them outside of court/office hours.
Delivery Staff (including Florist, Bakers etc.) – Staff responsible for your flowers and wedding cake do not expect to receive a tip. You will have agreed to pay their set fee and that is sufficient. However if you feel that they have provided you with exceptional service and/or outstanding quality of products then a tip of $15 – $20 per person is adequate.
