My Chemical Romance Jeopardizes Our Catering

It's about time I start using our blog for sensational journalism! According to TMZ.com, the owner of the Green Leafe Cafe has received personal threats because the bands, My Chemical Romance and Muse, had to cancel tour dates due to alleged food poisoning after a concert at The College of William and Mary.

So how does this affect us? Gina and I picked Green Leafe Catering for our rehearsal dinner and welcome reception. We both love Green Leafe and they seemed well equipped to handle catering since they were on the recommended list of vendors at the Alumni House. Despite this bit of news, we didn't have any plans to change caterers. That was until this morning, when I ran into a co-worker, who is also having Green Leafe cater her reception and is close friends with the owner. According to this unnamed insider, this may result in health investigations and maybe even lawsuits that may shut down Green Leafe forever. Personally, I don't believe this news will change any of our catering plans, but we will be keeping a close eye on the situation as it develops.

4 months away

I can't believe our wedding is FOUR months away! It's amazing how fast time went by. I feel like I've been a huge slacker lately with the wedding stuff, but we're pretty much on track with everything. Designing invites are what's next on the list, but that's Chris' to do. I think we have a general idea of what we both want for the invite, so hopefully it won't be too difficult. Goal is to get invites out late June/early July.

I'll be heading down to Williamsburg in 2 weeks to meet with the florist and a baker. I'll also scope out some spas for nails and hair. Although, I have no idea if I need to get my hair done... it's probably something I could do on my own. I should figure that soon, huh? I spoke to a dj a few weeks ago and just need to call him to confirm. We have 2 more trips scheduled for Williamsburg in June for our rehersal dinner and reception tastings. Bridal showers were scheduled months ago, but since I'm the bride I have no planning involved with that. Also, Key West is coming up in mid-June for my bachelorette party. I do need to look into my bridal party gifts and giveaways. Oh, and wedding bands for Chris and I.

So, things are coming along. I'm even attempting to get into shape by taking a Pilates class and a swimming class. I just took my first swimming class today and it kicked my ass. I haven't done any cardio workouts in forever and haven't really swum in 8 years, so I was quite suprised when we were doing laps! I love being in the water, but it will take some time for me to learn how to breathe again and just build up my stamina. Probably didn't help that I had a glass of wine and heavy h'or derves prior to class... haha.
