Its been a while.

It has been a while since we last posted, but thats mostly because there isn't much to post about. We have 22 days left until the big day, nearly everyone has RSVP'd, (something we should look at soon since today was the deadline), and everything is pretty much on track. We'll probably take a trip to Costco next weekend to get the booze/snacks/disposable table settings, and to check out the flowers.... and we'll also go next week to get our marriage license.

Short of that, we're all set. We have the rings, we have the music chosen, seating chart has been figured out, Jessica just went for an alteration on her dress and everything fit well - in fact, she even got the dress fit so that she can wear flip-flops while in the dress! (Did we say it was going to be somewhat casual? :)

After spending Memorial day at our friends' house, and playing a fun game of bocce ball, we may go pick up a set for something to do at our wedding reception. It was a lot of fun- games can be really quick, and it doesn't require much setup or skill to enjoy it!

We are getting pretty excited- especially after seeing Jessica's sister get married 2 weeks ago. It was everything that we didn't want our wedding to be - we are so excited to be doing things our way - for instance, between the ceremony and the reception, those of us not in the wedding party had to wait almost 3 hours for them to finish taking pictures. Sure- there were cocktails and hor douvres, but COME ON! 3 HOURS??? Yeah- not at our wedding!!! It will be about 8 minutes, since we're doing pictures the following day! After we are officially married, we'll go change into something more comfortable, and we're going to enjoy the backyard bbq/picnic! We're also not doing the whole 1st dance thing, or the bouquet toss, or the garter thing, or the father daughter dance, or throwing rice, or little gifts of almonds for the guests. No, no, no. Too formal. Too many "haftas". I don't want to HAVE to do anything. I want to have a good time, and I want people to relax and treat it as an informal get together. We're hoping that there are very few people that won't know anyone, that way everyone has at least someone to talk to there.

So, yeah. This should be easy! Right?
