We’re in semi-swing wedding preparation mode now! Our first guests have arrived (Dallas & Erin), and last night I had a volunteer sweatshop of friends helping me put together our wedding programs. This morning everyone but me has gone out for an epic five hour grocery shopping trip so that Erin can get started on food prep.
I meanwhile, am sipping tea (decaf, of course) and preparing to get my legs waxed. Tough life, I know.
Tomorrow is when the madness really kicks in…several friends are arriving over the course of the day, and we’ll have two of them — Sarah, upper location manager; and Megan, DJ and invitation designer — staying with us tomorrow night. Have you noticed yet how every single person who’s coming to this wedding is helping out somehow? I think “helping guests” outnumber “standard guests” 2:1.

Hi Ariel & Andreas!
It’s been a while since we saw each other, but I want to send my best wishes from Germany! Have the best time ever and a wonderful life together.
Please give Erin and Dallas a BIG hug.
AND make sure that you see each other enough on your wedding day!! Marcus and I got married in February and for some strange sort of reason…maybe 100 guests that we hadn’t seen in a long time ;-D…we hardly spend time together that day. I hope you have a blast, it looks like you will have an outstanding day.
Love
