SAVE THE DATES ARE IN THE MAIL

The Save the Dates are finally in the mail and we could not be more excited about that :) There has been lots of stress and lots of fun around Goccoing our own STDs. Hopefully we have learned lots of valuable lessons and the invitations and everything else that we are doing for the wedding will go better. We will definitely post pictures after all you lucky people who are getting one receive them. We want the surprise of their beauty to come when they arrive in your mailboxes and not when you view them online.

In other wedding news we still have a lot to do on our August to do list and guess what... August is almost over. This list still includes ensuring our engagement rings, getting a JP or at least looking into it, Photographer, music, and flowers... yes we have been slacking. In fact we haven't crossed anything off the list this month. Instead we have been enjoying our 3 weeks of free time together without grad school and studying for the CPA exam. We are hoping to at least have some names on a list by then end of the month. The wedding coordinator at the inn has been swamped with the 2010 wedding season. Hopefully we will get some direction from her after the season is over. We knew there would be lots of work involved with planning the wedding but it might be overwhelming us a little right now.

Engagement Photos

Last Saturday (July 31st) Jessica and I sat for our engagement photos. We had the fabulous Bess take them with the help of Sherri and Donna. The whole day was super fun and we took photos on our roof (where I proposed), Village Gate and on University Ave here in Rochester. We took about 560 photos and walked away with a ton of great ones. I'll post some below but all those lucky folks who are getting a STD will be getting one.

These first few were all taken at Village Gate




This is one of our favorites from the traditional shots










































































































































These were taken on University Ave










































We have also finished the STDs and will be sending them out as soon as our envelopes arrive. They have been ordered but we ordered them from a little company in Kansas City and they did not give us a tracking number. We also have a nice list of things that we need to get done this month. Our list includes finding a photographer, DJ, ceremony music and a JP. Hopefully we will be able to get it all done and things will continue to go smoothly.
