Weddings are Easy

Two months ago I completed the invite design for our October wedding. Last night I sealed and stamped the very last invite. It's not just the invites, I have your thank you note printed, ready to have a personal note scribed onto the bare card before being placed into the already prepared stamped envelope. That's assuming you are invited.

Bridesmaids and groomsmen aren't for us. In place of these tuxedo clad, ugly dress wearing unfortunates, we have requested our families accompany us during the ceremony and at the head table. We don't have any wedding colors, and there will not be any flowers.

We may be skimping on some of the trappings, but not on the good-time-party-fun-stuffs. You'll have your choice of meal served to you along with a salad, sides, and desert. The view of downtown from the fourteenth floor is remarkable. We'll be hosting an open bar all night, something that is uncommon for a Minnesota wedding. I can't ask one hundred plus people to travel from Chicago and make them pay for a drink.

I have a few things to do over the next three and a half months: Rent a tux, make table assignments (along with corresponding place cards,) finish the design for our wedding photo sharing web site, and make the center pieces.

My plan is do very little, if anything, in the month proceeding our wedding. I have little tolerance for chaos. We are arriving in Minneapolis for the wedding two nights before festivities commence. I imagine those days spent relaxing. Preparing for what is most certainly going to be a wonderful event. With you in attendance, even better.
