Q: Wedding cake table..?
What type of decorations did you put on the table where your wedding cake was? I am having a fall wedding so I was going to scatter fake fall leaves around the table with some tea lights and of course the knift set and personalized napkins we ordered.

A: Our cake is white and decorating with fresh strawberries so we’re carrying that white and red color scheme on to the table too. We’re putting a beautiful claret (dark red) tablecloth on the table and then sprinkling it with white and red rose petals.

Q: Help! Groom and groomsmen tux colors for fall wedding?
I’m having my wedding in the fall, i have my cake ideas, dress ideas, decoration ideas, location, blah blah…
But i have no idea what colors to put my future hubby and his groomsmen in, in fact i know nothing about tuxes at all, does anyone know any tux styles that are nice and complimentary color ideas for a fall wedding?

A: The classic black tux is classic for a reason. If you want to get the vests in your wedding color, go for it, but keep the tux black.

Q: How much detail is too much for a wedding cake?
I am a college student who is waiting to get married until a few years after graduation, so the wedding will not be happening until 2011. I have already found my dress though and bought it since the style has been discontinued. Our wedding will be in the fall and we are incorporating darker natural tones into the decorations. The dress I chose has a distinct floral pattern around the bottom edge and I am wondering how that pattern would look around the layers of my cake. I am thinking of a 4 tier round cake, with off white buttercream frosting. I would like the details on the cake to reflect the colors on the dress but would that be too much?

Here is a picture of the dress.

There are two different colored dresses, if you look at the second brighter dress, that is the one I have.

A: i think that design would look great on your cake. you might consider a large rectangle for the bottom layer so the design would have enough space to establish the pattern.

then i would use it just as accents on the other round layers or if you can find real flowers that match the design flowers, you could use them between layers.

btw, i love that dress! lucky bride, lucky groom!

Q: I’m having an Enchanted Secret Garden themed wedding. The colors are pink and green. Does anyone have ideas?
I’m having an Enchanted Secret Garden themed wedding and the wedding is in November ( fall ) but my colors are pink and green. I need some idea’s on centerpieces and cakes and decorations and flowers and pretty much everything lol. Any ideas would be appreciated.

A: First, congrats on your engagement- what a wonderful journey!!

Second, my first thought was a secret garden tea party theme. You could go many ways with that but going either whimsical or vintage would be my suggestion. My fave centerpiece idea for you is super easy, affordable, and charming- simply use antique china (from your china cabinet or even an antique or thrift store) and fill them with soft, romantic, vintage-esque flowers like pink roses and peonies. You can arrange them at different heights and combinations on each different table. You can even add something sweet into a few of them- gold wrapped chocolate candies are great throw backs.

Or, if you want to go whimsical, try using oversized mugs (you can pick them up at the 99 cent store) and add a few found objects to the mix like candle holders, top hats, or sparkling accents from your local craft store. If you place different elements at different heights on the table it will add a bit of a fairytale feel.

Q: unique wedding ideas!!!!?
i really want my wedding to be in the late summer early fall and have reds, oranges, and maybe browns as my colours!! Plz help, i want some cool ideas to have at my wedding from decorations to cake toppers!!!

A: I am currently doing a fall wedding for a client, we have choosen to not go over board with the “fall” theme and are staying away from leaves and leaning more towards pumpkins and flowers.

Table numbers are carved pumpkins illuminated from within.

Place cards are each held by a miniture pumpkin

flowers are in reds (dahlias) oranges (flame calla lillies) and coxcombs (reds and oranges) with chocolate table clothes.

Instead of plain clear galss votives go to Ikea, they have orange glass votives for pennies

Have a pumpkin spice cake for your wedding cake

serve appetizers of warm soups in little shot glasses

pass out hot glasses of apple cider with the desserts

have carmel apples as your favors

Q: HELP ASAP..how to make a cake stand?
I’m using a Wilton fountain for my wedding cake this saturday, I don’t like any of the ugly separator plates and pillars that are out there plus there darn expensive, I want to make a plywood circle 16 in in diameter with dowels for the support legs, I figured the dowels need to clear the fountain so need to be about 13-14 in in height, the cake is alternate chocolate frosting and white frosted stacked tiers, i’m using fall colours for decorations, should I paint the dowels? wrap ribbon around them? decorate with glued gems? wap fall leaves? and how would I undertake the construction of the cake stand itself..so I screw everything together? I’m guessing I would need a bottom plywood circle as well…..I just want to make the stand stable! ANY HELP APPRECIATED!!!!!!!
I was on wilton’s site again…and I really don’t want to use their product, they are cheap looking, the white will not work, with all the fluffy fillegree patterns on them, and the clear I just don’t like, I have made cake stands before but not for a high cake, and they do not look cheap, i’ve done them with mosaic stones and glass beads, hey end up looking like they are expensive, I do not want an all white cake…..my preferance I don’t really like them, they’re kinda boring, thanks for your reply, but you weren’t of much help, being told my cke preferance is wrong and my ideas on my stand basically suck, really isn’t much help to me.

A: Use the Wilton stand. Trust me, you don’t need the additional expense and worry over the cake with some kind of homemade contraption of a cake stand. You run the risk of the cake falling over and it will also look cheap. The Wilton one will be fine. Those Wilton people know what they are doing when it comes to cakes. How about using white and chocolate cake in alternate layers and then icing the whole cake white? You can then use some beautiful fall flowers for accents.

Q: What do you think of Sky & Chocolate Wedding Colors?
I’m picking wedding colors. omg it’s so tough. what do you think of this combination for a fall 08 wedding. sky blue and chocolate brown (blue & brown basically). would it be good for decoration, flower, cake, bridesmaid dress, groom’s men tie, etc.?
i really want to keep the blue part… any color combo suggestions? i hate the fall orangey colors… there’s gotta be something that i can match blue with (even if it’s just a little blue)

A: Sounds like a very pretty choice to me. Check out the brown-blue bio at theknot.com.

Q: $1500 wedding budget advice where can save money?
My budget for our wedding in November is $1500. Hopefully, we are going to get to use a church and it’s Multi purpose room for about $200 i am still working on it. I found a plus size wedding dress online for $150 it’s plain but my mom said she can embellish it and she is making the veil. I am making my own invitations it will just cost $20 for printer ink. I found some great party favour’s online for $80 that we can get our names and date put on. I found sterling silver engrave able wedding bands for $50 each. We are having a pot luck reception. I know people frown on this but MY family is all for it. My aunt is making my flowers. Since we are getting married in the fall we are using pumpkins and gourds for decorations. We are getting the cake from walmart and since there will be 20 kids there I am making a cup
cake tower for them so i don’t need that big of a wedding cake.
My sister is burning me cd’s and we are going to borrow a sound system from a friend. My sister and dad will take most the pictures. Instead of getting disposable cameras and having to pay to Develop them we are getting some cheap Memory cards and asking people to bring their digital cameras and then leave the memory cards in a marked box. Bridesmaids are buying their own dresses, guys are just wearing brown slacks and cream colored shirt. For grooms gifts we are getting them matching ties. I am not sure what for the bridesmaids yet. So far we are within the budget… Any suggestions???

A: Take your Bridesmaids to a local department store and get their dresses there. It will cost less and they will want to wear them again so no money wasted. I did that and it worked out really well. As for their gift, put together little goody bags for them. For 20 bucks a piece you can get them a makeup or travel bag full of lip gloss, lotions, etc. I suggest going to a thrift store and finding some neat vintage clutch purses. I did this for a local girl’s and they all loved them. Some of them were brands like Channel. You can snag these for cheap and they will have a unique gift.

I would skip the cake and just make more cupcakes. You really don’t NEED both, so that could save you money. Make the cupcakes yourself and you’re saving a LOT more.

Skip the favors. That $80 can go to something else. Most people toss favors anyway. If you need to get them something, go for bulk candy. It will cost less and everyone likes candy.

The memory card thing is a good idea. Make sure you make it very clear as to where they should deposit them at the end of the night.

Pumpkins are a great idea. If you want to go even cheaper, you could check out crafts stores for artificial pumpkins. This time of year they would be on clearance.

Q: Help? Ideas? Anything?
I’m planning a fall wedding this year. I’m having trouble finding a theme that I like. I want something somewhat casual so guests are comfortable. I like the country elegance idea, but I can’t seem to find flowers, decorations, cake, or anything that really goes with that theme? Does anyone have any ideas for a low budget? Or maybe know of some websites? I would really appreciate it. Thank you!!!!

Q: New wedding info..?
Ok, so we are still getting married in April 2008. With the dress I fell in love with, as well as the bridesmaids, I know want a black and white wedding with royal/cobalt blue accents. I need pictures/ideas for everything now…..decorations for church, reception , flowers….etc. All help will be appreciated (as long as it’s not sarcastic.) I know to not over do it with the black, and I wont. I just want something to match my dress. Here are the links….

http://www.venusbridal.com/cgi-bin/description.asp?dress=K8734&dressline=AngelTradition That’s my dress.

http://www.barijay.com/style.php?PHPSESSID=88576dd02b7b49559dc5cc818a2a0f1e&coll=barijay&showid=50&PHPSESSID=88576dd02b7b49559dc5cc818a2a0f1e That’s my bridesmaids, only trimmed in blue not pink.

Also have a picture of an IDEA of the wedding cake, just ask and I’ll email it. Thanks all.
Ok, I can’t put the picture of the cake on here b/c a friend emailed me this cake picture so it doesn’t have a link. You have to give me your email address to get it. Sorry.

A: black is so elegant. my recommendations are: for your flowers are do simple like calla lilies. maybe a smaller version of your flowers for the bridesmaids. if you are having a church wedding and if there are pews i would maybe have some bows made for the pews in a sheer black and maybe a solid white and then if you have candle holders for the pews use the blue candles. you can also use just green plants (ivy, ferns, etc) to decorate.
i personally would kept it simple on decorations just because it might become tacky looking and take away from the dresses.
okay for the reception: (tables) white table clothes. (centerpieces) small square of a black material possibly a satin with a clear vase with blue marbles/stones with a simple flower.
well i have many more ideas, so feel free to email if you are interested in more of my thoughts.

Q: Wedding theme troubles.?
My fiance and I had finally decided on a date after a year of being engaged. We picked March 20, 2010, and set out to look for a venue. In the meantime, my mother and I decided that we should do a theme of flowering branches, as I love cherry blossoms, and early spring. My mother bought and paid for all of the venue decorations… the branches, and some cute bird’s nests with robin blue eggs– all very spring.
On a whim, my fiance and I decided to take a look at a venue up in the North Georgia mountains, and fell in love with the location. Here is where the dilemma comes in. He thinks that the wedding should be in the fall so that we have lots of color with the leaves. I do not dispute that, however, my entire theme for the wedding, with all of the decorations, etc, is for early springtime. My fiance claims that no one will care, and that it’s not that big of a deal, but I don’t want the wedding to look silly either.
My maid of honor recommended doing a “Love for all Seasons” theme, having the ceremony be fall, cocktails and hors d’oeuvres served in a summertime theme ( like a luau) the dinner/reception in a spring time theme, and then the cake and deserts in a winter theme. Does this sound like a stupid idea? I really actually like it, but I want to pull off something that isn’t tacky. Any ideas on how to tie in my reception decor with the autumn outside? Will anyone care anyway?
Thanks!!

A: i dont think you should trap yourself into a “theme”. Just do whatever you want and don’t worry about it. You’ll drive yourself crazy trying to match everything to be one specific thing!

Q: How should I kick my bridesmaid from my wedding party?
I got engaged early November 2009. I immediately picked out and asked my two bridesmaids to be in the wedding that is coming up in early October 2010. One of them lives about 40 miles from me where she goes to College. I had asked if she thought it would be a problem to come down for dress shopping and basic wedding stuff (shower, bachelorette party, rehearsal+rehearsal dinner, wedding) because I would understand if she couldn’t make it down because of whatever reasons..money, busy with college, whatever. She said it wasn’t a problem at all and she would come down soon to dress shop and discuss other things. A few months later when I was getting into planning colors and such I asked her if there was anywhere around there where she lives now that could give her her measurements and I’d help her look for a dress if she couldn’t make it so I could make it easier on her. She said not to worry and she’d just come around here soon to shop with me and the other bridesmaid. Then she finds out around late January or so that she is going to be doing this internship about 700 miles away during fall of 2010 (which is when my wedding is of course) but that she’d be happy to fly down for anything I needed her for. I asked if she was sure and I didn’t want to get in the way of her awesome time with the internship and she said it was no problem at all. A few weeks later she drove over to the city I live and texted me about midnight asking if I wanted to meet her at a local bar where she was with her other friends from around here. I couldn’t because I was working and she left for back home in the wee hours of the morning..of course the time that she was in town was when no dress shops were open. She told me she’d be back again soon to dress shop. I have bought my dress, my MOH bought hers around February, I have the cake and venue and invites and photographer and some decorations picked..I mean my fiance and I are close to being finished with planning this but without her picking a dress I can’t choose the floral arrangements or the groomsmens tuxes since they are supposed to match and all. My MOH asked nicely about two weeks ago if she knew when she could come down and she said she had just gotten done with finals and had her summer break and time to come down “soon” (same word she’s used for months) and with 4 months and a few odd days now I think soon isn’t coming soon enough! I haven’t asked for her help on anything I just need her to pick out a dress. I gave her the choice of a good few colors and said ANY style works and said she could browse online and send me pictures of ones she liked if she couldn’t make it here but even that hasn’t happened. I would hate to see the wedding come between us as friends but I vowed to my fiance and I we’d plan this thing in a timely manner as best we could so that the weeks leading up wouldn’t be SO stressful. So far we’ve done a great job of this. Also, I have another girl that would be willing to take her place and take over as soon as I give her the green light. Dress shop and start helping my MOH plan the shower and bachelorette party (which the other bridesmaid hasn’t asked about yet either) and another thing, the bridesmaid was supposed to come to my and my fiances house warming party last weekend, said she was coming and never showed and no explanation. My MOH is known for being unreliable but she’s the one thats doing good! I just need another bridesmaid that will take some initiative. Bridesmaid number one has had almost 7 months..with only 4 left I don’t think I can handle anymore waiting..and if she isn’t going to drive 40 miles for dress shopping or a party she said she’d come to (but will for drinking apparently) I doubt she will FLY 700 miles to attend the wedding and the events leading up to it. So hopefully you guys don’t think I am being a bridezilla, but either way what should I say to her to let her know I want to replace her before its too late?

A: This a VERY childish and irresponsible thing that she is doing. Tell her that she is causing trouble that could have been avoided, and if she doesn’t get her act together she will be replaced.

Has she done things like this before? if she has, she might think that she can be irresponsible and
get away with it. Once someone she knows threatens her like this, she might get her act together and stop being so immature.

This is a wedding you’re talking about. There is no room for silly ladies who are only causing you frustration. Hope your wedding goes well!

Q: Combination of both ideas? Please Help!?
I can’t seem to picture this in my head very well so please tell me what you think. We have been throwing around two major ideas either a western wedding or an autumn wedding. What do you think about this:
groom in black suit with white shirt, and a bolo tie and a cowboy hat
groomsmen in black pants and white tops with black cowboy hat and bolo ties
bride obviously a wedding gown
bridemaids black dresses
bouqets a general autumn mix
centerpieces of watering cans with fall flowers and/or min pumpkins
favor either personlized mason jars and/or carameled apples
drink hot cider, coffe, punch, and water
food either turkey dinner and cake or appetizers and cake
general decorations would be fall like.
Does that sound weird? Would you think it would look nice or tacky. Please be honest and if you have any suggestions that would be great. This planning thing is harder than I thought!
we are planning on about 250 for the reception. what about centerpieces that are just pumpkin themed?

A: I think it’s an interesting mix that will work out just fine. Right now, your themes seem really divisive. You need to find a way to work each of them into each other – I recommend mixing in some horeshoes in your decor. I like your centerpiece idea – but what about replacing the watering cans with old-fashioned campfire coffee pots or something? (Or even just metal buckets..just something a little less “girly” to make it more western!)
If you are decorating around the room (not just centerpieces), see if you can find a wooden wagon wheel to lean against a wall or table. Wagon wheels evoke that “down-home country” feel, and tie in both with autumn hayrides and old western travel!
You’ll be able to have a beautiful, cohesive wedding, you just need to add some ‘Western’ to the decor!

Q: Dissapointed in how Wedding turned out – How can I get over this?
After a solid year of planning, my wedding day turned out to be somewhat of a disaster.
First one of the groomsmen dropped out, and I had to move my brother from usher to groomsman and find a new usher.
Then the day of my beautiful blue runner had to be pulled becasuse of bad weather and high winds- they tried everything to hold it down and it wouldn’t stay.
The programs I had designed and ordered online were due to arrive the day before the wedding did not because of an error of UPS, (who basically told me there was nothing they could do) and I had to get up early on my wedding day and BEG Kinkos to do me a favor and print out some more.
My hairstylist put my 2 teired veil on backward! I didn’t realize it until later because we were already late starting while my mother was in the next town picking up the flowers and got caught in a hail storm and got drenched (all my wedding photos have the backward veil -short on bottom, long on top).
My mother was late because she was waiting for my father’s nurse to arrive who had promised the previous day that she would come and un-hook him from his IVs for the ceremony and then just didn’t show up. As a result, my dad had to walk me down the aisle with an X-Games backpack on!
Half the wedding party got caught by a train and so one of the bridesmaids never made it to the changing room to put on her hair decoration.
The venue kicked us out of the changing room in the building next to the wedding stating that they were closing up- so I and my people had to cart ALL of our stuff out to the parking lot so they could lock up before the ceremony.So imagine me going down stairs in my wedding gown with a dress bag and my purse!
A LOT of guests didn’t show, many of whom gave no indication they weren’t going to show, the others the result of a death in their family 3 days before the wedding, thus leaving ALOT of open seats and alot of paid for plated meals.
My veil got stuck on the steps and almost got pulled out of my hair (I had to reach up during the cremony and fix it to keep it from falling out).
The same storm that took out my runner and hailed on my mom made some loud booms during our vows ( I had to laugh at it but it was like yikes)
The DJ sucked, played none of the songs we requested, except for one, citing that his ITunes was messed up.
The Bridal display portraits I ordered got ruined in route to us, and there they were outside the reception with huge bubble wrap marks melted into the varnish (we had to display them, no time to get others).
Our cake came out looking waaaaay different than in the picture (supposed to be blue PEARLS but instead were blue BLOBS dotting the cake) and there was a side that had apparently got smashed against the box, the attendants had to cover the boo boo by turning the messed up spot away and using rose petals to cover it, and our cake topper was leaning and looked like it would fall over any minute.
After the meal 1/2 the guests left.
And a 1/2 hour before the end of the reception my dad told people to start cleaning up and they were taking all my beautiful tablecloths and chair covers and decorations off – How embarassing.
On the way out no one was around to grab my purse, so in our petal toss pictures I am holding my coach bag (How fairytale!).
And the groom’s uncle stepped on my train also turing the petal toss/exit.
Ever since then, I have been so upset and bitter, I don’t want to see or hear anything about or even remotely related to a wedding. I hear people talking about bachelorette parties, and spa time with the girls and how beautiful everything was in their weddings, and I didn’t have any of that. I feel like my special day was ruined.

After all my hard work, and all the money spent it came out so awful and ghetto, I can’t let it go. And no one understands why it bothers me so much and why I am so dissapointed but I can’t help it- I didn’t go to prom, was the ugly duckiling in school and this was my one chance to shine and I feel it was totally TOTALLY ruined. I want a re-do, but I can’t afford it. How can I make peace with this and stop the dissappointment and sense of loss? My husband and everyone are tired of me moping. I AM glad to be married, and I am happy that it is to the right man, and I do believe that the marriage is worth more than the wedding but I just can’t stop obsessing or wishing it would have gone a bit smoother, and I get kind of jealous when people talk about weddings they had or have been to that were like, fairy tale nice. I know something always goes wrong in a wedding but I feel like mine was an extreme case, I am so sad.

A: I read every word you wrote, and you’re right. Yours was an “extreme case.” I have never heard about such. However, it reminds me of a few years ago on the Gulf Coast of Texas and hearing about some brides whose wedding plans were totally messed up because of the hurricanes that kept hitting the coast. We can plan and plan and plan some more, but we can’t control everything. And when those uncontrollable things happen, we have to make a choice. Either we can become bitter and depressed, or decide to make the best of it and move on. We can’t afford to let ourselves get “stuck in a rut” and worry over things that we have no control over.

I am so sorry that your wedding had so many problems. If I were your friend, I’d be glad to sit down and have a good cry with you. You have deserved it, if any bride ever has. Yet, I have a daughter who would also cry with us. But, then she something would “pop” into her head that had been humorous, and she would start laughing. That’s the way she looks at life. And before long, you and I would be laughing with her, and would laugh so hard we’d end up crying again. But we would feel much better afterwards. I think my daughter has taught me the healing powers of laughter. She’s not disrespectful, but is quite compassionate.

So maybe it would help if you could take some time to look back and see if you can find anything humorous in all of this disaster. And remember that you still have your pride. You are married to a wonderful man, and he deserves the happiest and best wife of all. That’s you, my dear! Be the best that you can be for him. You won’t regret it.

“Don’t cry over spilled milk” probably sums it up the best. Even though it wasn’t the wedding of your dreams, it will be a story to tell your children and grandchildren. They won’t believe it. In fact, you should take the time to write this down so you’ll remember it someday. You can entertain your future family for hours with this one. And they’ll love it that you can enjoy life enough to laugh and share it with them. They’ll appreciate you even more.

I wish you much happiness!!!

Q: Did I “Paint the Picture?”?
my mom always tells me that the key to writing a good book is to “paint the picture”. you can’t just expect your readers to see the same thing you are. it makes total sense to me and i was just curious if my first chapter (even though its not finished) paints a picture for you.

The engine cut off with a hum and my seat belt unlocked at the same moment. I grabbed my backpack and pulled at the door with a sigh. I planted my feet firmly before I shut the door. As I headed to the porch I watched my step for the sneaky black ice that tends to jump up at you. As walked up the seven steps to the house, I savored the last silent thoughts I would have inside my head, for I knew what was waiting for me behind the front door. I reached the door, and automatically my hand stretched out for the knob. I gave it a good twist, pushed it with a little power and took a step inside. I turned with the door and shut it behind me. I slipped out of my shoes, kicked them out of the way and waited for it. It wasn’t long until I heard the murmurs. But as soon as I had taken another breath she was already there.
“Violet!”
I met her eyes and smiled brightly, just as anyone would.
“Hey Darcy.” I managed to get out before I was suffocating in her arms.
“God you look the exact same-”
“Good your home. I’m glad; you’re just in time for cake decorations.”
“Oh mom, its okay I really don’t want to intrude on Darcy’s things. I mean isn’t this a mother-daughter thing?”
“Well considering I have two daughters, it’s going to be a mother-daughter-daughter thing.” Her hands were already reaching for me and I was forced out of my jacket and scarf before I knew it.
“Besides I need your opinion, you are the only one who I can truly trust in this house” Darcy winked at me in the same moment that my mother shot her a “yeah right” glare.
I walked to the kitchen with my mom rattling on in one ear and my sister in the other. Darcy was talking about how she wants a classic looking cake, and I think my mom said she wanted something with a modern-twist. I wasn’t paying attention, my mind was elsewhere. I sat down next to Darcy, and my mom sat on her other side. The book was right in front of Darcy and already opened before I even blinked twice.
After two hours of looking at baked goods, I eventually made them believe I had homework to do. I practically ran to my bedroom, knowing if I took too long they would weasel me back into there plans. I closed the door, and breathed in the sweet scent of raspberry. It was the one thing I would never get tired of. It was comforting, sweet, and only two dollars and eighty three cents at the store (the plug-ins that is). I went to my dresser, got a hair-tie and pulled my hair back and put it into a pony resting on my neck.
Just as I was about to turn away from my bed I noticed a little white envelope sitting on my pillow. I smiled, knowing exactly what it was. I took two steps, picked it up and read the front of the envelope addressed to, “my dearest little sister”. I turned it around and slipped my finger underneath the seal to open it. Inside held the invitation to Darcy’s wedding. The paper was so soft; it could’ve been mistaken for silk. I let my finger glide across the letters before I actually read them, I knew if I read them now I would fall over, considering the date for the wedding was just a little over two months away. Something about the date always caught me off guard, and it wasn’t even like the day was dedicated to me or anything. It was just the way it all sounded. March 11th my older sister would be marrying the love of her life, and I would be standing next to her as the proud maid of honor. It didn’t seem to be real. I still remember when she announced to mom and dad that she was marrying Brain, it was raining outside, and I had just walked in. My mother had tears of joy coming down her cheeks, and my dad was already crunching numbers. But here we are, December 3rd and we just finished the final decisions, the cake decorations.
I sighed and set the invitation down on my desk, knowing it would be waiting for me to read one day. I sat on the edge of my bed and stretched my arms up high above my head. As I was lying down I heard the familiar ring of my cell phone. I let out with a grunt and picked up my phone from underneath my bed. I glanced at the caller ID and saw in big bolded letters TIFFANY.
“Hello?”
“Hey its me, so I was out getting the mail and my neighbor, the police man, you know which one I’m talking about?”
“Yes, I know which one, the old one right?”
“Right right, well he was talking to me about this family moving in down the street.”
I was trying to relate this back to me or her in any way, but I couldn’t find the connection.
“And what does this have to do with us?”
