10 days to my son's wedding....am I stressed
...booking this place was a piece of cake compared to the trials and tribulations I'm having just booking a rehearsal dinner....we booked a restaurant and it turns that they have closed
...no notice to us......we only found out on the weekend....jeeeezz
mab
p.s. the manager at Milestones wants to give us a "menu" because there are 22 of us rather than us picking from the standard menu. He's worried about delivery time of the meals and possible delays...I'll keep you posted. He wants us to enjoy our experience. I told him about Rootschat and there was a very long silence........he nice young gentleman

Mab,
no wonder you are stressed. Plan B, quick
I laughed at your report of the young manager's reponse when you told him about us.
He has no idea how patient we all can be,
some of us have been waiting years for a dead person to turn up

Poor young guy doesn't realize what's going to descend on him on a very quiet Sunday
....I was thinking of staying with the standard menu but I don't think I could be so mean
...hopefully everyone will agree. On the weekend it's usually students at this time of year...sons and daughters of someone ...trying to get money for university fees etc ...so if the "menu" is OK
I'll keep ya posted.

I think the "Menu" idea is fine.
LOL genie, that's funny

Hi MAB,
I'm fine too with the menu... however you might some folks with special diet requirements though ie. diabetics. I trust they will let you know.

So far we only have one person with special diet requirements and I'm not sure what I can do for her. The fact that she's still coming is totally amazing. She and I will be definitely doing New York fries in the food court because I like them too
Once I get the "menu" she can let me know what she prefers or not.
