augh...

So Aaron and I went to the library today. While I was waiting for him, I went upstairs and looked through the wedding books. I found one book with a neat idea for centerpieces if we decide to have our wedding at one of the places we are looking at. The venue gives you a mirror tile and votive candles for each table. That way you only have to add some sort of main thing in the middle -- like a bigger pillar candle, or a bowl with a flower, or something..

like this:


So I saw a book that showed a small square vase or could be a bowl with blue water and a white floating candle in it. It looked pretty and would probably look really good on the mirror tile.

While arranging with my mom what time to meet us so we can carpool to look at the top 3 choices tomorrow, I tell her about the centerpiece idea that I liked.

So this is our converstation:
Mom: Well I thought they gave you the centerpieces
Me: Well they give you the mirror tile and the votive candles, you just add the focal point
Mom: what good is that? Might as well give you nothing
Me: If they give you nothing, I'd have a small bowl of blue water with a candle floating in it
Mom: I thought you said you wouldn't have to buy centerpieces if you went there
Me: Well we could get away with not having a huge floral display at each table
Mom: Thats just dumb.. You aren't saving any money

Me: *bangs head into desk*
