I wish I had taken this advice to heart. We had prime rib and we didn't get to eat any because everyone kept coming up to us to talk, and then we went visiting the tables. Then our plates were taken away. We were so hungry when we left the reception that we went through the drivethru and grabbed a burger.LilMissMollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05847160970054624743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57166953240040768.post-79521583372589842082010-06-28T12:58:53.752-04:002010-06-28T12:58:53.752-04:00Hi Maya,
