With only 25 days to go before W-day my mom reminded me of her plans to make me a white satin bag for me to carry at the wedding. The purpose of the bag, you ask? So that I can collect the cards filled with money or checks that people will be bringing to me. (!!!)

Todd suggested that she bedazzle a dollar sign on the bag, a la those cartoon bank robbers.

My mom told me about these plans months ago, and I put up a bit of a fight and hoped that she would forget about it.

The only thing tackier would be if I opened the cards, took out the cash and stuffed it down my dress into my bra. Yes, I think that Kate Williams would find that very amusing.

Anybody want to stage a robbery in order to get me out of carrying around that tacky tacky bag? You could even wear a Hamburgler mask and yell "robble robble."
