some pictures...

Hi everyone!  Wow, words can't really describe how happy, touched, and elated our wedding made us.  I figure most of you will probably only check this one or two more times, so I'll try to get a last post with a ton of  pictures up.  This is all I have so far, but Uncle Mike and our friend Jesse took a bunch so more to come.  I apologize that everything is out of order.

last minute stuff

Some of you guys may be wondering: what does this Verge place look like?  Here's a picture of the outside, at the corner of 6th and S.  You can see it has a somewhat small sign.  The entrance for the wedding will be to the left of this.  Street parking is free after 6, so bring some quarters for the meters just for the first hour of the wedding. There is also a big lot around the back of the verge where you will be able to park, although you'll have to walk around the other side to enter.

And, again, if it wasn't clear from the invitation, beer, wine, snacks, and mingling start at 5pm, ceremony at 6.

Tomorrow is our big cleanup and decorate day and we're really excited that it's finally happening!  Thank you in advance to all of our friends who have helped so much.  We are truly touched and honored.

Don't know about you guys but....

We are ready to party!!!

Shameful/funny photos

Although my days of catching bouquets are over, I love to try. I think I have caught maybe 4 or 5 over the years? When our friends Ella and Willy got married by the river, she threw the bouquet and I caught it. But there was a bit more to it than that, as you can see. Can't wait to throw my own! Get ready, ladies!

Honeymoon?

Quite a few people have asked me about honeymoon plans. We would like to spend about a week in Mazatlan. We can't go right away because we just got back from a rather long vacation. But luckily the best times to visit Mazatlan are November through about April or May. Otherwise, it's too hot! And around June the stinging jellyfish show up en masse. Scott and I have gone to Mazatlan a few times, but haven't been together for a few years, so we're raring to go back. The beach is beautiful, the food is good, the water is warm and calm, we can stay with a friend in her beautiful house built in the 1800s, and we can visit with my mom, too. Perfect!  Contributions would be A-OK.

Some pictures of a trip we took for Dia De Los Muertes in 2007 are after the jump

We're back!

 

 We're back from our pre-wedding vacation! It was a blast.  We were in Oslo, Norway for their National Day, which is like their 4th of July and is their biggest civic holiday.  Everyone dresses in traditional costumes and all the kids parade.

The Gift Question

OK, so a big question: gifts.  We have most of what we need for our house, thanks to generous family members and lots of thrifting, but for the few things we do need/want, we are registered at macys.com, under Becky Grunewald or Scott Miller.

We are planning on a short Mexican honeymoon, hopefully this fall, so if you'd like to contribute to that, there is a paypal button at right.  If you're not into paypal, there will be a good old-fashioned jar at the wedding.

Bye bye for now

Hi everybody!
We won't be posting again until almost June.  Scott and I are going on a two week trip to Scandinavia.  It was planned almost a year ago, way before we decided on a date for the wedding.  We're super excited.  I may post a few pics from my cellphone if I can figure out how. 

Keep checking back!

oops

Oh man, Scott was pointing out to me this morning that because we didn't specify on the invitation, that some people might think the ceremony is right at 5! Forgive us, we're new at this stuff.  There is actually going to be an hour or so of snacking, mingling, and sipping before the ceremony.  So if you're a few minutes late, no biggy.  Please spread the word to anyone you know is coming about this little detail.

marriage license

We went to get our marriage license this morning, bright and early

 It all went smoothly.  We saw a couple of kids who looked about 16 applying for theirs.  The guy was wearing a tshirt that said, "may all your pain be champagne", which is a festive sentiment.

Here we are after.  We weren't quite sure my phone was taking the picture so we look a little confused.

photos!

Ok, so no photos of us as kids, yet, but here are some photos of us on trip to Europe in 2009.  You guys know we love to travel, and this was our first time in Belgium, and my first time going to France.  Pictures after the jump

what you can expect

 We did some more shopping for wedding supplies this weekend and that mission took us to Party City. Here are some things you won't see at our wedding.  

 Wacky hats

 Scott in wedding-related flip flops.

 A cake with a silly figurine.

 OK, Scott might wear this at some point.

 No chocolate fountains!  These things seem unsanitary.

 You will see flowers from this farmer's market vendor.  I just love his bouquets.  So wild looking.

What's the deal with the Verge Center for the Arts?

Due to the fact that it often hosts fun events, many of you have already visited the Verge Center for the Arts - the space where we're getting married.  However, some of you haven't been there/may not know what it is.  Verge is a non-profit space that encompasses many artist's studios, a gallery, and soon to come is a classroom and print shop.  The Executive Director, who is a friend, has generously offered the space for our wedding.

The Verge will be under construction in June, so it will be a bit dusty and it is a big, cavernous warehouse space.  We will be working hard leading up to the wedding, stringing lights and decorating.  It's a cool, funky space.  It's at 6th and S, downtown, (very close to the 5th st and 10th st exits) and there is plenty of free parking!

Here's Verge's website so you can find out more.

Baby pic!

Scott and I haven't really had time to go through our old photos yet for a proper picture post but I just happened to have this one pinned to my bulletin board at work.  That's me, age 3(?) making it..cough....1977...or so.  I'm poolside in Honolulu, Hawaii right here, and it might just be my birthday, judging by the bow stuck on my head.  I think I even remember receiving this little outfit as a gift.  Is that possible? 

I visited Hawaii a lot as a kid because that's where my grandmother and grandfather on my mom's side lived.  They owned a few jewelry stores.  I should scan some pictures of those two, too!

Pistachio?

Wow, looks like pistachio ice cream is making a surprisingly strong showing, which I know will make Jackie happy.  Be sure to vote!

I swear we'll get some scanned pictures up soon!

Hellooo!!

I know the deal with most wedding blogs: you check them once and then you're done.  Well, hopefully ours will be a little more entertaining than that.  We'll post some pictures, some sneak peaks, etc.  Maybe we'll make a little wedding trailer, like a coming attractions thing.  Who knows?  Here are some exciting details that I have been authorized to reveal:
June is making her famous macaroni salad
Dessert will be provided by Gunther's, and I need your input about which ice cream flavors to choose, so weigh in in the poll at right!
