Info for the Wedding Guests

Couple of things:

- If you're staying at the hotel during our wedding weekend

- DON'T bring a car - it costs 55$/night to park at my hotel.

- The pool is closed right now for a major overhaul. We have an agreement to let our guests use the pool at another nearby hotel. Check with the Front Desk on the exact hotel.

- If you're driving to the wedding reception, street parking is limited but available. We will have a Valet service that will valet your car for 10$.

- LOTS of people have asked about the dress code for the party. Think "very nice cocktail party". Not formal, but by no means casual.

More to come!

Next up, things to do in Chicago!!!!

Some Wedding pictures

I just realized my last post (which was in JULY) said that I would post pics from the Wedding day.... and I never did! My bad! We took a BUNCH of pictures, but here are a handful of the best. (Also, I'll be working on some more posts in the coming weeks with Reception details, Hotel info, and starting some posts about "Things to do in Chicago". )

Anyway.... On with the pics!!!

**************************************************************************

Here we are outside the Marriage Court entrance - we're about 15 minutes away at this point.

Almost there!!! This is right outside the Judge's chambers, waiting our turn. We're now about 5 minutes away!!!!

The Vows!

The Rings!!!!

The Judge! (isn't she adorable?)

And lastly, here's a super-duper-awesome cake our friend Pontip made for the people we had over the house after the ceremony it was delicious!

"Moving right along..."

So, things are moving along at a nice pace:
- Venue reserved? DONE
- Save the Date cards? Ordered and on their way
- Addresses of friends and family? ALMOST done
- Hotel room block for out of town guests? DONE

Next up: we're looking over rings we like on Amazon, and trying to make decisions on DJ vs. iPod.

Just under 7 months to go!

Save the Date!

So -- we're GETTING MARRIED!

Obviously, or I wouldn't have started a blog about it!

My plan is to use this space to keep family and friends updated, as well as have a central location to keep all the information (Date, Time, Venue, directions, hotel info, etc etc...).

So far, all I have for you is this: 1/14/12

And that's simply the date for the Celebration.
We already have the license, and we'll be getting hitched quietly at City Hall some time in the coming weeks. Then in the winter, after a few other family wedding are finished, then we'll be having our celebration.

So Save the date!

More info to come!
