Good idea, **mangeorge**. It’s a really nice everyday set, and not too expensive. Toasting flutes for the reception. For a toast. Just two, for Jer & me. Of course, since we don’t drink, it’ll be sparkling white grape juice. 🙂 ---

BTW, have you gone any further with the juice/coffee bar idea? ---

**Baker** , one of Jer’s yentas is hooking us up with a caterer who should be able to give us a good price on the meal. We’ll have to hammer out the whole coffee/juice bar thing with them. The caterers are “program,” as it were, so they’ll understand that we don’t want alcohol, and I’m sure they’ll be receptive to this idea. 🙂 ---

Cool that you don’t drink, and that you didn’t chide me for my misuse of the contraction “you’re”. 🙂 I know you’ll post pictures of your wedding here when the “Deed” is done. ---

Unless he’s a Canadiens fan… 😃 I’m just kidding. If Scott’s a Canadiens fan even though they suck more than Toronto (take that, CuriousCanuck) all these years, that’s all the more reason why Jeremy should love him. It shows devotion and commitment; the whole “through better or worse” thing with sporting teams as well as in the sack. And I know I’ve always wanted a mate who liked to watch Hockey. And play Hockey. Sexy Hockey… 😉 ---

Hate to burst your bubble, there, **Blackeyes** , but Jer scanned that one. We couldn’t find the 80s Trivial Pursuit game, and we had to scoot over to electronics on the 6th floor before going back down to the 4th floor for the rest of the housewares. So he scanned two versions of Monopoly. We have to go back anyway for the china and some other things we didn’t scan, so we’ll look for Trivial Pursuit then. Yes, **matt** , it’s validating, isn’t it? 🙂 ---

Got a question about the Trivial Pursuit game. Do you mean the original Genus Edition that came out in the 80’s, or the edition with questions about the 80’s? ---

I recommend registering for a nice table linen sets. Get multiples of runners and mats and napkins…if you have friends like mine, you will need to replace often. ---

Wine glasses, wine glasses, wine glasses. You probably know already how quickly you break 'em. :::embarrassed about the one I broke this weekend belonging to my best friend::: ---

No place to click to see what the things actually look like? What if they’re ugly? What if you have people buying you ugly gifts? I concur about going to eight sets of china instead of four. Too bad there’s no way to buy, say, one place setting of flatware. That’s always a nice way for people without much money to buy something. Although one napkin is pretty inexpensive for those who are really strapped. How about things like vases, mirrors and other home furnishings besides what’s already there? I like how you’ll be having a “dinnerwar” but I have to know what the hell a “salt rimmer” is and did you pick it just because two gay men wanting a salt rimmer sounds so completely dirty? ---

I know you can’t click to get a picture - that sucks. But nothing is ugly, trust me. NOTHING is ugly. Everything we chose is gorgeous. We upped the dinnerware to 8. Jer went back to the store today and added some decorative furnishings (vases, picture frames, etc.), some more odds & ends, and stationery, photo albums, etc. ---

I’m still desperate to know what a salt rimmer is. I did a web search and it’s either something for putting salt around the rim of margarita glasses or something to do with auto racing. Neither of which makes a lot of sense in this context. ---
