Eat your heart out
For those 1.3 Cornell people that actually read my blog, this should look familiar.
Yes, this past weekend, we took a little trip down memory lane and drove up to the utmost beautiful Cornell University.
(That was just so everybody believes that I speak the truth.) I haven't been back since the year that we graduated, which would make it almost 5 years! The place is just as amazingly beautiful as ever, except after living in the real world, going back there and seeing it again is so nostalgic as to make it almost painful to walk around and take it all in. I doubt that the details of our trip would be of much interest. So I'll just say that we managed to eat at all of our favorite places, including Alladin's (which still has the same menus, and more importantly - the same prices), College Town Bagels (which has all the same yummy bagel sandwiches, but in addition also tons of new and fancy coffees and deserts), Simeons on the Commons (not impressive) and John Thomas Steakhouse ($34 steaks rarely disappoint I suppose). And just so I don't give the impression that it's all only about the food - we also visited two wineries around Cayuga Lake.

I am starting to feel that planning a wedding is just like doing one of those huge puzzles where you have to find each peace and make the fit together. Except it's not always clear just how many pieces there are. For example you think there are only 15 pieces, but each week you realize that there are more and more pieces hiding somewhere and the realization makes your head spin. So basically all the time I am realizing just how many more extra little things I need to find out about, get recommendations on, research, etc. At least we ordered bridesmaid dresses this week, and after only one shopping trip too, which is a huge relief for me. The dresses will look like so:
Except the upper part will be in white.. I mean in "candlelight". And the trim will stay pomegranate. Before I told people that my wedding colors were "white and red," but now I will switch to saying "candlelight and pomegranate."
I will leave you with this last picture that demonstrates just how gorges (get it, get it?) Cornell is.
