Holy cow...how time flies...!

So apparently I haven't updated this since the monday BEFORE the wedding? Seriously?! Well I guess by now we all know the wedding plans were completed and everything went off without a hitch (haha - get it?). Of course there were a few mishaps along the way, but nothing that had any major impacts on our wonderful wedding weekend.

Brook is working on the wedding pictures and we have a few ready to tide us over until the rest are done. Enjoy the pictures at the link below! Aren't they great?!!!

Feeling somewhat better...

I made it the whole day today (Monday) without drugs (except the nyquil that was probably still in me from last night) - and seem to be doing better. Now we just have to hope Ben didn't catch it - he has been sneezing some, and claims to have a scratchy throat. I didn't have too much of any throat issues...but rest assured that hasn't stopped him from blaming me for giving it to him! Hopefully it's nothing...and we'll both be in tip top shape for the weekend!

I had a shower with some work friends tonight and it was a lot of fun - thanks for putting that together guys! I'm officially done with work now for the week - so I can concentrate on putting the finishing touches on plans for the weekend.

It's not allergies...
I have officially picked up a cold. I thought it was allergies that was causing me to sneeze non-stop, since otherwise I was feeling fine - however Friday night & Saturday made me think otherwise. I'm completely congested and if I blow my nose one more time, I think it might fall off. I'm staying drugged up and trying to take care of myself so I'll be better for the wedding. I don't want a red nose in all our pictures!! Hopefully Ben won't catch it before then either!

Wedding Weather...looking good so far :)

Click the link at the right to view our Wedding Weather page - right now Friday is forecasted to be 60 degrees and partly cloudy
Just one week!!

In just about an hour we will be exactly one week away from our ceremony beginning!! People are doing a lot of asking about how I'm holding up stress-wise. And really - I'm doing pretty well! A few friends came over to my Sun Prairie house on Thurday night and we put together all the centerpieces, the FAQ Postcards (mailed today), and favors. So that's a lot of things off the list! I pick up my dress tomorrow (Saturday), and I had my test run for my hair this past week too, and figured out (somewhat) the plan for flowers. Now it's just a lot of little things - I need to draw some pictures of the layout to get a sense of how I'll have things laid out at Devil's Lake...and figure out what I need to accomplish this weekend and next week. I really need to update my Wedding Planning Document - which sounds completely dorky, and something that looks pretty much like one of my work Project Plan Documents. It's currently 10 pages and basically summarizes are wedding weekend and has been helping me stay organized and remind me of things yet to be decided and completed.

There's no turning back now!

The booming metropolis of Portage is apparently now fully aware of our pending nuptials. A neighbor to Joe and Carolyn's Portage Farm stopped down when we were feeding the cats and mentioned he saw that we were getting married in the paper! We were both surprised, and confused...until we figured out it was in the "legal" section saying that we applied for a marriage license. Here's a link if you want to see it - I know - how thrilling :) It's under the Sept 22 date...that's when we applied for it...
Time to "Meet" the bridal party!
At Left:
Dan - Best Man
Joey - Ring Bearer
Rachel - Sister of the groom

At Right:
Amy - Matron of Honor
Gianna - Flower Girl
Scott - Brother in law of the bride

Two weeks and counting!

Well, we officially passed our RSVP date of September 30 this week on Tuesday. Basically everyone we invited except for a small few (and some children) are able to help us celebrate at the reception! With that – we’re about right on with the number we can have in the shelter…just over 100. We met with the music director over at St Joseph’s in Baraboo on Thursday night, and we’re good to go. We picked our songs…we just have a small decision to make yet on the Unity Candle song. I have a song picked out (listen to it here!) – but I can’t figure out if we should have it sung (which requires much more planning) – or just play it on CD.

Other items yet to be figured out…I still can’t make up my mind on centerpieces, I have few ideas that I’m hoping to play with this weekend. We need to put together our favors yet, and I still need to get flowers planned out. Oh yeah – and yes…we will be getting your parking stickers to you – I promise! Hopefully I’ll have them Monday and they’ll be in the mail before we know it.

Some of Brook’s Photography!
One of my posts from a long time ago mentioned that Brook Blaser (my best friend since I was 3!) is going to be the photographer at our wedding! I thought I’d share some samples of her work…she is absolutely amazing, as you'll see if you take a look at a few of her recent photoshoots!
