You Know You're From Pittsburgh When...

As my 3-year wedding anniversary is approaching, I have been thinking back to our wedding -- the things I loved, and the things I would do differently. I have to say that there isn't a whole lot I would change about June 18, 2005. I think Guy and I really personalized the wedding "format" and made it our own. From the caricature artist to the candy buffet to walking down the aisle to the theme from "The Princess Bride," I'm proud of the affair we put on! One thing, though, that I really loved was the way we used table names instead of numbers, and how we created a "You Know You're From Pittsburgh When" saying for each of the table cards. No, we didn't look these sayings up and copy them. We actually made them up! (**Toots own horn**).
So, in honor of my walk down memory lane, I now present to you...our table cards.

You know you're from Pittsburgh when...

-You have a collection of pickle pins (Heinz 57 table)
-Every time you see a Campbell's Soup can, you think of Andy Warhol (Andy Warhol table)
-You've ridden the Incline at least twice, even though it's the most boring ride of your life (The Incline table)
-You go to the deli and order a pound of chipped-chopped ham (Isaly's table)
-You've spit off the top deck of The Majestic (The Gateway Clipper Fleet table)
-You know which two rivers form the mighty Ohio (Three Rivers table)
-You've eaten at Buca di Beppo, danced at the Matrix, or laughed at the Funny Bone (Station Square table)
-Your sports stadiums are named after banks (PNC Park & Mellon Arena table)
-You've hung out at the fountain where three rivers meet (The Point table)
-"Double Yoi" can accurately describe how you're feeling (Myron Cope table)
-You know where your school field trip will be before you get the permission slips, and you've already saved your $3 to buy astronaut ice cream for the bus ride home (Carnegie Science Center table)
-You've taken prom pictures at the overlooks (Mt. Washington table)
-Fries and coleslaw come on the sandwich, not on the side (Primanti Brothers table)
-Mr. Rogers really is your neighbor (Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood table)
