So delicious and nutritious! Chuck- you are always trying to steal from me! By the way, I expect my red dress to be back in my closet this evening. Mimi- I am seriously considering Vegas right now. I'm sure we could class it up. Melia- You have totally been remiss in your duties as maid of honor. In fact, I'm going to need you to fly down here to go to that Bridal Extravaganza. Maybe we should go to one of those dress sales where 3,000 women try to kill each other over Vera Wang gowns. OMG, that poem actually made me a little sick to my stomach. If you throw me a bridal shower-- especially one that involves stupid games-- I will make you wear this: http://tinyurl.com/34gwah I think "bridal shower" will translate to "all-night happy hour."

A Google search on the subject tells me that I've been a deadbeat Maid of Honor so far. For example, I'm supposed to "attend all bridal fairs with the bride as well as cake and catering tasting" and "host and plan the bridal shower." Now that I understand the scope of my duties, I must insist that you: 1) Participate in the Everything Bridal Extravaganza on 9/28 in Mandeville "next to the Department of Motor Vehicles." It promises to help you "plan your picture perfect wedding" in a single afternoon. 2) FedEx me samples of all cake and catering options. It is crucial that I offer my feedback. 3) Attend the bridal shower I'll be hosting. I found many poem options (www.abridalshower.com/bridal-shower-poems.html) to use on the invitations. Here's one that's perfect for you: "It is only fair that we let Gill in on a little secret. Brian may be fantastic but wait until she finds out that he is not Mr. Clean. He'll expect her to be a dynamo in the kitchen and he thinks all women should mop & glow. At night he'll wake you up at dawn to snuggle up close. We all agree that Gill and Brian will have a very happy life together. Our wish for you is that your home be filled with joy and you remain as happy as ever in the future." And there will be bridal shower games galore for the little Navy wifey to-be! From this day forward, your Maid of Honor vows to follow The Rules. Thanks for the crib sheet on being a maid of honor.

I think if I ever decide to rope myself a permanent bacon-bringer-homer, we'll fly to Reno and do it in style at the Silver Legacy!
