Venue update - day 2

The only appointment we had on Sunday was with the cake lady.  She's a friend of the family and we figured we could get a decent  price on the cake.  So at 11, we headed out to Hurst (lots of driving this weekend!!!) and tasted 5 or 6 different flavors of cake.  I think the group was unanimous with the Italian cream (still not even sure what that is) and strawberry flavors.  B is allergic to chocolate, so we'll have to consider whether we'll have a chocolate option.

Okay, cake done, now what?  We stopped by a printer, but they were closed.  At any rate, I think we're going to try and do the invitations ourselves and put my DIY skills to work!  So we drove up to Plano to try a Vietnamese restaurant called Zander's House.  This is Option B for the wedding reception.  I never ever wanted a reception at an Asian restaurant, but I was willing to at least go and see the space and try the food. 

The food, I will admit, was pretty good.  And the space wasn't too awful (not compared to most of the strip mall joints around DFW).  My biggest gripe was the location - it was FAR!  So another consideration. 

Sunday I definitely started to get frustrated with the parents.  They were driving me nuts and honestly, we just don't see eye to eye on how this wedding should be.  So I was frustrated and annoyed and didn't want to do anymore planning with them.  B saved me and we went out for date night that evening to get away from the house and enjoy ourselves a bit.  Phew.
