Snafus & Good News

C & I are thankful. For the most part, wedding planning has been low stress and a lot of the details have just been working themselves out organically.

However, we're 40 days before the big day and hitting a few bumps in the road.

The biggest bump is we are juggling catering and tent rental costs and talking to a few vendors and hoping to come to an economical solution in the coming days.

Also,we still haven't locked up a wedding officiant. There are a few people we are talking to, but its not settled yet.

But the good news is C&I drove to Great Barrington, Massachusetts on Friday and filed for a marriage license at the Town Hall! We will have to drive up again before Oct 12th to pick up the license and have the justice of the peace say those words that they say when folks wed.I know everything is going to be great on Oct 12th - but getting to that day has me on the edge of my seat!

About Face

Lots doing and havent had but a moment to spare.

First things first -- big changes for some major details:


#1 we are now getting hitched at the beautiful Inn at Stone Ridge



#2 we moved the date to the one we wanted Sunday, October 12, 2008!


Its amazing when things just come together -- fate guiding the way perhaps it was meant to be.

Chris and I wanted to get married outside in outdoor surroundings with a fire going. Check.

We also wanted to get hitched on Columbus Day weekend at a place where our friends/family can stay on Saturday and Sunday night. Check.

Peak foliage is the following weekend -- allowing for breathtaking natural views. Check.

My family embraced Chris/my nuptials yesterday asking questions, getting excited, at my mom's 60th surprise birthday party. It felt real good and the way it should be. Makes me feel even more amped because its important they share in our joy.

Happy with where things are headed.....
