San Antonio, And the Blogging is Light
I'm in San Antonio enjoying more of the pleasures of planning for that big day next June. (Forget existential queries: To Seat Cover or Not to Seat Cover, THAT is the question.) Blogging may be light until Monday night.
Matt -- We hit a bit of a goldmine with the planning -- we found someone (actually family friend of my beloved) down here in SA who will be like a one-stop shopping locale for a whole hunk of the wedding stuff. There are headaches to come, but when you find an older woman who can sew and who makes wedding cakes, whose daughter does design work for things like gift tables and who can do wedding video (I am opposed to the wedding video idea, but still), and whose son does real Mexican food catering that undercuts the opposition, and who because of the family ties tosses in a bunch of add one? Well, that's a "Eureka!" moment. It's especially a eureka moment when she knocks the prices down in half since you are paying for your own wedding. Dcat is the biggest violator of typoes in comments, so no worries on spelling here.
Have you tried Earl Abel's and Tiptop Cafe yet? Earl Abel's pies are to die for, but you have to get there early before they run out, Tiptop has some great food, their breakfast is good, but you have to get there early as well since the line can run out the door.For the money, Taco Cabana does a decent margarita. If I am feeling touristy, I do like Mi Tierra's food, though the margaritas at La Margaria are better, go figure since they are owned by the same people.

Only dorks don't use seat covers. Everyone knows that. Get with the program Holmes.
Really, wedding planning made me dumb. I think the firs thing I said to my after "I do" was "NOW can we talk about something else?"
Sorry for the lousy spelling...

Derek,

Anon --
Will make note and try those places. We do periodically hit Taco Cabana.
