rehearsal dinner schmimmer

FH got taken to the cleaners by a restaurant in Little Italy in the Bronx and put a deposit down.

Came home freaked out. Talked it over. Since the dinner menu was going to be fancier than our actual wedding and there was a hazy area re: tipping, we canceled the reservation and stopped payment on the check. We decided to go to more affordable and less nice place. You know, the place with all the politician pics on the walls as you walk in, the pizza place in the front and the mirrored room in the back. alls kinds of classy.

As I've said before, I'd prefer to skip the whole thing, take a tylenol pm and got to sleep on the twin bed from my childhood, but if dinner is to be had, even the bare essentials will do for me. It's the parents who "care". Bring on the mirrored room and the cheap chianti.

There's a lot to be said for mirrored walls & cheap chianti. Mostly, that they will mercifully erase your memories of said event. Good luck!

Hey! Enjoy the wine and take a Tylenol PM anyway (Just not TOO much wine...)

The whole point is for everyone to mingle, those who don't know each other - get to do so, and eat, right?

No stress! Glad you got your money back!
