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.

Look What the Crane Brought!

Marcus Aurelius is my head usher. I wanted him to be in the bridal party, but fears of my putting him in a seersucker dress prevailed, and he’s now head usher.

I searched high and low for an appropriate gift for him, but kept coming up empty. He’s not really a monogrammed money clip/key ring/silver frame kind of person; so standard groomsmen’s gifts were out. So was getting him something from Bonbon Oiseau, which is usually the answer to all my gift giving needs.

Then it came to me. Personalized stationery, in a banker typeface. From Crane, of course.

It took about 14 working days to arrive, but I think it may just be perfect.

($160 for 50 cards and envelopes — if you get exactly the same thing I did.)
