So on Monday we all found out that my cousin Paul was getting married Saturday. A week is a little short notice to suddenly decide to get married isn't it? They just sort of sprung this on everyone like, oh by the way... Even his parents didn't get a lot of notice. I was told that the reason they did it like that is so they could save money on having to decorate and send out a million invitations and things. I guess that's smart? Personally I liked having to plan it out and make it nice. All they're doing is the ceremony in the temple, and a pot luck family dinner tonight. Pot luck? They could at least plan that couldn't they? Oh well. I'm kind of stressing on what I should bring though. I don't know of any simple cheap side dishes. All the ones I have are a bit more complex and require a little more skill. I'm leaning towards lemon-butter seasoned vegetables, or a strawberry spinach salad though. These last few days I've had to really plan out my cooking. Yesterday just because I wanted to make it, I made pork chops with apple cherry stuffing. MMMMM!! Then today I have to plan a side dish, and tomorrow I have to make something for John's brother for his birthday. Who knows what I'll do for that. He's a very picky eater. Well, back to wedding, at least we don't have to bring a gift. They said they require our presence not presents. That's nice. Both of them have been living on their own for a while so I guess there's not a whole lot they really need. Like me when I got married. I'd had my own apartment for a while and pretty much had all the basics already. I know they did get some stuff from Grandpa. Anyway, I've got some planning to do. If you think of any last minute quick suggestions, feel free to let me know!

They have been dating forever and she did not want any big deal. Your salad was a hit, since by the time I got there it was gone. I couldn't get over how adorable Connor looked. It was fun just hanging out with the Told family. It was too bad Bonnie wasn't there.
