I'm Sorry

Hi Girls,

I am so sorry to cause such confusion. I just wanted to look at the
option of having a place where I could be the bride that I have always
dreamed of being. So by asking your ideas for "2005" was all that I was
doing. I don't want to put a halt to any plans that the DLV members have
already set up. I thought that by asking a year and a half early would
help all of us to make good plans. I just thought that we all could have
such fun together, dressing, drinking, eating and just enjoying each
others company. I hope that I haven't caused any hurt feelings. I feel
as if I have. I was just looking for your ideas and suggestions. I was
just looking for the opportunity to celebrating with all you girls.

Bobbie:

I don't think there is any reason to apologize. I think the wedding is a
great idea.

I don't think there's any apology needed. There are, however, a few
points that I think are misunderstood, and I have a few questions
about this activity.

<DLV organizer's hat on>

First of all, are you thinking of this for 2004 or for 2005? I think
everybody, myself included, assumed you meant 2004, thus the discussion
of how it would fit with items already penciled on on the schedule. Your
latest note referred to 2005.

Do you see this as an evening or daytime activity?

Is it to be a stand-alone activity, or combined with something else?

Where do you envision this happening? One of our usual bars? Hotel
suite? Other place?

Would this be open to the entire DLV group?

Any costs involved? If so, who covers them and how?

If something like this is to be on the DLV schedule, somebody (you or
another volunteer or volunteers) will have to agree to "adopt" (sponsor)
it and work out the details. When there's a volunteer on record for it,
then it can be placed on the DLV schedule, subject to availability of
the preferred timeslot.

<DLV organizer's hat off>

Personally, I think something like this would be well-received and would
be enjoyed by the majority of the DLV attendees.

If you want this to happen at DLV 2004, I suggest you (or somebody else)
adopt it ASAP and get the the wheels turning. There are a number of
timeslots still open if it's to be a stand-alone thing. The important
thing is to make plans very shortly if you want it to happen in 2004.

If you want it to happen in 2005, it's far too early to make any plans
now, so be prepared to propose it when the planning for DLV 2005 starts,
which will most likely be in late summer 2004.

Anyway, let us know which way you want to go with this.

The wedding/reception is a fantastic idea, and being brought up for 2005
leaves a gigantic amount of time to discuss where/when/how it can be
done. The weekend we had for my 3rd Annual Traveling TGirl Summertime
Road Party will have the pictures and write ups posted in a few weeks.
I will let the list know when and where it can be viewed. Maybe that
will give some suggestions. I congratulate you Bobbie and all my best
wishes for you.

Hugs and Love,

Cat

Ditto as far as I'm concerned. Please plan on joining us for both DLV'04
and your wedding plans for DLV'05, IMO.

I didn't even realize that you were talking about 2005. I 'm not sure
that anyone else did either. However, I don't think that you have
caused any trouble for anyone and your suggestion for a wedding is a
good one. It looks like we were just having a little trouble trying to
fit it into the schedule for this year.

If you really want to cause trouble around here, you have to come up
with something better than a wedding...something like dressing up as
nuns and going to a casino.
