Wedding Blog
May 29, 2009
I've been doing some updates here and there and kind of forgot to mention what the updates were on the front page. Sorry about that! Anyways, if you take a look around, I've added our Videographer to the Vendor page and also added a page that lists where we are registered. Also, Terry Puerzer designed a really great monogram for us that we used on the invites (and will be using in a lot of other places) that you should have (hopefully!) received by now.

We picked out our wedding bands today! We were just out and about and decided to stop in a few stores to try rings on and found exactly what we were looking for. A few days ago we also decided on our "first dance" song.... so it's been another fairly productive week.
There's still hardly anyone in the room block... PLEASE go rent your room so we can figure out if we'll need to get another room block. If everyone waits, it'll be a lot more difficult for us to get more at a decent price.

Mandi's got her hair stylist (Chelsey) lined up for the big day. She works in a salon across the street from our last apartment, and Mandi and I have both been getting our hair cut by her for the past few years. Mandi's pretty excited because she claims that Chelsey's the only person who does her hair right. I suppose that's pretty important, eh?
We've also talked to a new videographer. The contract's not signed yet, so I don't want to give too much away and jinx it, but he seemed like he understood exactly what we want and is very flexible with modifying his standard packages to fit our needs. I'll give more details once we make things official.
That's about it for now. Make sure you get your rooms booked so we know if we have to get another room block!
February 1, 2009 - Where'd we go?
So much for frequent updates! So here we are... it's 2009, the SuperBowl is today and da Bears are nowhere to be found... and apparently it's time for a quick update!
We got the hotel rate lowered to $109. When you first go to the hotel link, it will still say $119, but don't worry. Once you get to the point where you select the specific type of room you want, it will show the lower price.
We've also made our final dinner selections (they're awesome...), picked out our cake (this is awesome too!), and almost have our invitations all figured out! Our first choice videographer ended up bailing out on us, so we're also about to pick a new one. We think we found someone that'll do just as awesome (if not better) job and we'll be meeting with him in the next few days to get things squared away.
What else... oh yea, we also have our florist contract as well as our DJ. You can get more info on them all on our Vendor's page.
Hopefully Mike'll get around to updating this more often now!
July 11, 2008 - Start of the Blog
Well, we finally got the wedding site put together enough that we felt it was time to open it up for anyone that's interested. Here's a few things that we've already checked off of our to-do list:
There may be more that I'm forgetting! You can find out more about the whos, whats and wheres by browsing around our site. The Photographer's site has quite a bit of really awesome pictures on it... find the link on our Vendor's page!
