Rest and Relaxation

We've had a few people ask what are plans are for the honeymoon. We didn't really have any plans to go on a honeymoon anytime soon. We've now found out that as a wedding gift we are being sent to the Tauca Lea Resort and Spa for a week long honeymoon. We don't leave until a few days after the wedding, so we have booked ourselves into the Markham House B&B for the night after the wedding.

Tam and I would like to give a big thank you to the friends who are kind enough to send us on our honeymoon.

Check your mail

Finally!

The invitations are finally in the mail. Hopefully people should start receiving them later this week. We didn't include return cards per se. We included an email address and our phone number for people to let us know if they are attending. We will reply to any emails we get, so if you send us your reply via email and we don't get back to you in a few days, please try sending the email again or phone us. That being said, we did include cards with the invitations. They are so you know exactly who is invited. If you really want to, you can mail the card back to us, but we would prefer email first, then telephone.

In other news, the alterations on Tam's dress are nearly finished, the bridesmaids dresses have arrived, and the boys and I are going down on Thursday to get fitted for our tuxes.

Last Thursday we met with the photographer to have our engagement portraits done. I believe he will be posting them on the web, so we will let you know when they are up so you can have a look at them. We aren't planning on having a traditional guest book, but instead will be getting one of the engagement portraits framed with a large mat so people can sign the mat. We didn't think that we would really go back and look at a guest book, so we thought this would be a better idea.

Less than 2 mo. to go.

Holy cow.

I can scarcely believe that there's now less than 2 months until the wedding. On the plus side, today was a pretty good day, wedding wise. We got the rest of the stuff we needed to do the invitations, so if we can huckle our butts, they should be sent out later this week or early next week. I hope everyone likes the look of the invitations as much as we do.

We also met with the chef at the Delta who will be doing our cake. He has recently finished a cake decorating class with one of his co-workers. They are just trying to get as much experience as they can, so the cake will be quite inexpensive.

Finally, we went in and ordered our wedding bands. Getting all that stuff done is quite a relief because we are really starting to feel the pinch of time.
