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
