Wedding cookies, or, Why I still can't move my fingers

About a month ago, I was asked to make cookies for the president of the library's daughter's wedding on October 1st. Like a fool, I agreed. 240 cookies. I've never made that many at one time before. The birthday cookies I made in June were only 3 dozen. This was 20 dozen cookies!! In the shape of wedding cakes and wedding cakes with heart toppers. The heart toppers scared me. I knew there would be casualties. There were only a few actually. Luckily I only had to decorate in two colors, red and white. I left them fairly simple, with easy-ish designs, and two colors, plus black for writing. Here's how the process went over a two week period.
