so it just occurred to me that perhaps what i should do is have the bit at spill the wine be ryan and my family and friends, and then have all our persian friends get together with us somewhere and do things potluck style. that way there won't be any culture clashing, i'll be able to give them my full attention, and it won't cost as much as doing everything at the restaurant. the persians are all about potlucks anyway.
brilliant. fucking brilliant! so now i just need to see if anyone will volunteer their home sweet home for the bash.
but still remains the challenge of dessert at spill the wine. to be honest, i'm not sure if they do little desserts or not--if they do, that would be the most economical, since it would be included in the $30/person minimum, and i wouldn't have to spend more or extra. i just remembre him saying that we can have the cake done by an outside vendor if we want. i don't remembre him saying that we have to. although, i've never been fond of cake anyway--especially wedding cake--so i've been thinking that cupcakes or cheesecakes or some other little per-person dessert would be more up my alley. probably would save us a cutting fee, too.
i just checked their catering menu and it says that they have bars&cookies ($18/10 people) and 10" round cakes ($3/slice), including cheesecakes, et cetera. No cupcakes, but it says "if there is something else that you would like at your event, please tell us--our chef will accomodate your needs!" so i'm guessing we could figure something out. perhaps cupcakes just aren't classy enough, though. but i do have some creative cupcake decorating ideas. who says there's no such thing as gourmet cupcakes?! i love cupcakes. they are far superior to normal cakes. and we could cut the cupcake! it would be so win!

i think this is so simple and clever:
remind me to track down a local cupcake artist.
...but in any case, i think i can commission an old family friend of ours to sew it for me instead of buying one. because i don't know if i could actually find what i'm looking for--especially not for the price i'm hoping for. of course, she might not be willing to give me a hefty discount like that, but hey, ya never know. i just know that it would be swell to get hitched in a dress custom made by the hands of the woman who once sewed ensembles for prince (yes, the prince).
