China or Plastic?

So last night, Tony and I sat down to firm up our budget for the rest of the wedding. Still lots to do, lots to buy.
At the moment, the current debate comes down to plates, glasses, and silverware. So, i ask you.... does it matter? It will cost us about an additional $600 to rent china, silver, and a bajillion different kinds of glasses. OR, the caterer will provide clear plastic plates and plastic everything else for FREE. Tacky? Maybe. Cheaper? Definitely. Worth $600? This is where I struggle. Will the people that come to the wedding stand off to the side saying "Oh my Gosh- can you believe they spent all this for a wedding and we are eating off of plastic?". I really don't know. I know that I would never go to a wedding and say that. But I don't know about anyone else. I have two or three people that feel it is critical we get the china. A few others that say it doesnt' matter. Thoughts?

Wedding Rings

What a week! Recovered from Shannon's bridal shower, which I hope she loved. I thought it was nice. Monday night, I skipped class. I was way too tired. Last night I had class and then we went to run errands. We went to T-Mobile and priced the new phones we want and will need soon. Both our phones are falling apart. Then, we went to David's and picked up the bridesmaids dresses. They are really pretty. Not totally what I envisioned for them, but very pretty.

Then, we went and picked out our wedding bands! That, of course, was the best part! I was expecting to put them on layaway or something, but we ended up leaving with them. Tony doesn't trust me not to keep trying it on- I can't imagine why! So, he made me take it to school and give it to Keene to keep with my dress. It's really pretty. I like his too. He told me he wanted diamonds on his. BLECH. I kept trying to tell him he was going to look like A. an old man or B. a pimp. It wasn't until I said "oh ok...go ahead...get whatever it is you like. You are the one that has to wear it" and he tried them on....then he says "ugh. You are right. That looks ridiculous!". UM....really?!?!? So, he got a pretty simple band...kind of beveled. I like it.

Today is soooo pretty. I just wish I had been home today getting my house clean- it's been a wreck since the shower. I had an appt for 4 pm today at the gym, but I cancelled it. It's just too pretty out. I'm going to go running after dinner instead. I need to get my big butt used to running. We are going to try to run the Race for the Cure this year. :-)
