Mrs. Caterpillar, New York/CA Age and Occupation in 06: 28, Corporate Attorney to be Fiance's Age and Occupation: 29, Musician Engagement Date: March 9, 2006 Wedding Date: September, 2006 Venue: Rooster Point About Me: I don't like Jeff Koons, mushy corn, or the unnecessary diacritical marks the New Yorker adds to words like cooperative. Also, I'm an obsessive compulsive when it comes to crafts. And not just the ordinary kind of obsessive compulsive who needs to have everything even and aligned. No. I've gilded the heads of pins to make sure they looked properly antique. Gilded them. Then coated them in german glass glitter. I am that crazy.

Eyes on the Prize

I finished finals Monday — barring any unforeseen catastrophes, I’m done with school pretty much forever, oh except for bar review, right . . . still have bar review classes EVERYDAY . . . stupid bar — and was looking forward to a week of wedding planning glory!

Today was the day I was planning on finishing up the registry. I was going to stop by Michael C. Fina and add in all the little things we didn’t get during the first pass. Like pitchers! I’ve always wanted a pitcher. Or a set of sugar tongs, the kind that have chicken claw feet. Or those bowls that don’t actually fit anything in them, but are nice to have just in case you want to serve someone a single pistachio. And I was going to put a cartload of picture frames in too. Our consultant suggested we put in a lot of picture frames because people like to give picture frames over, say, silver chicken-footed sugar tongs or the $200 canape dish Mr. Caterpillar had to have. I’m still not convinced that people are actually going to give us gifts.

What did I actually do? I sat on the floor of the apartment and dug through the gift bag I got from the Wedding Salon, trying to find uneaten personalized M&M’s. I think I’m ready for reality TV.
