So I've decided two things:

1) I'm going to go vegetarian, with the exception of fish now and then.

2) I've signed up for the 100 mile bike ride again in Buena Vista on May 17th. It will give me motivation to get off my lazy arse and start running/ biking again . . .

Things are mostly good, with the exception of reception halls that aren't 100% straightforward. We checked out the Hilton, and were told we could rent a ballroom for $54 per person (which includes food, setup, cleanup, cake cutting, room rental, butler passed champagne, taxes, etc.). We also were told that a cash bar is extra. HOWEVER, we weren't told that for the ballroom, we MUST commit to paying for 160 people. I expect 100-110 people to come to our reception, which is a significant difference from 160 (obviously).

It really annoys me that they didn't tell us these things in the beginning. When we left, our understanding was that the cost would be somewhere in the ballpark of $6,000. Instead, we're sent a contract in which (if we sign) we agree to pay a MINIMUM of $8,640. Why weren't we told that at the start?

Ok, enough meck mecking. Time for exercise.
