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!
