The RSVPs Roll In
Tuesday, October 19th, 2004

We’ve sent out our invitations and the responses are rolling in at an amazing rate. It’s truly incredible to think about all of the people who will be coming in from out of town, out of state, or out of the country for our wedding.

Very nice and heartwarming. It’s also the first time since the ratio of legitimite mail to junk mail has been so high.

We’re working hard on the final preparations for the wedding and we’re looking forward to seeing everyone.


Behind The Scenes
Saturday, April 3rd, 2004

We’ve had some incredible help from our friends and loved ones while we’re planning for the wedding.

This is Jessica and I clowning around at Dave and Debbie’s house during our photo shoot for our ‘Save The Date’ cards (coming to a mailbox near you soon). Ben secretly filmed this. We had no idea the camera was running. Hilarity ensues..


Centerpieces and Seating Arrangements
Monday, January 5th, 2004

Jessica and I are having a hard time seeing eye-to-eye on some wedding-related issues.

This isn’t a plea for help or an invitation for you tell me that this is what married life is all about. This is a chance for you to make a difference. Make yourself be heard. Let’s settle this thing!

Holiday Stress
Friday, December 12th, 2003

We’ve got a few things to do in the next few weeks. The list has overflowed one sheet of paper and is onto the second sheet. The second sheet has overflowed to a third sheet. The sheets are stacking upon themselves so fast that a heavy breeze could topple the entire pile, killing us in our sleep.

When’s Christmas, after all? The list, probably not a final version, is as follows:

Guidelines for Invitees?
Wednesday, December 3rd, 2003

How many is too many? If you invite everyone, you risk not having a relatively intimate ceremony. If you limit the number of guests, you risk seeming like a snob.

What the hell are you supposed to do? Where is the line to be drawn?

First Holiday Meal
Monday, December 1st, 2003

Jessica and I undertook the responsibility of cooking Thanksgiving dinner this year for her family. We knew we would have leftovers, but I don’t think we had any concept of just how many leftovers we would have.

I have enough photos to get us all banished for gluttony.

The First Mean Thing I Did
Tuesday, November 4th, 2003

I asked Jessica to marry me on a Friday night. How long did it take for me to make her perturbed at me?

I wouldn’t let her call anyone. I wouldn’t even let her call her Mom. I’m such a jerk.
