registry

we're still working on the registry, but you can click here to see what we've got listed so far. use code "newyear" to sign in.

feel free to purchase items directly from the registry, use the items listed as a starting point to come up with your own gift idea, or get us some completely other thing that you think we'll love. we're also more than happy to accept cash or check to help pay for wedding costs, honeymoon spending money, etc. and if you have questions about anything, let us know.

invites

they're in the mail, folks!! we were hoping they would go out last weekend after spending a day finalizing formats, printing, and assembling... until, that is, nick said to me, "is this quote supposed to make sense?" oops.

so it was back to the paper store i went... followed by spell-checking, more printing, and assembling.

i'm happy to report that we finished them all last night (though clearly the dogs were NO help), and they went off into the world this morning.

i'll be posting an FAQ within the next few days to cover questions you may have about registry, places to stay, RSVP, etc. in the meantime, if anything comes up, don't hesitate to let me know.

what is semiformal, anyway?

the real work on invites has finally begun. they were designed months ago, but today i completed the final formatting and printing, and started assembling them. yes, assembling. with a hammer, even :)

today i also had to deal with the issue of dress code. so i consulted the master, Miss Emily Post. in case you're wondering like i was, here's what she has to say about semiformal (full list here):

Semiformal

For Men: dark, business suit matching vest (optional) dress shirt conservative tie dressy leather shoes and dark dress socks For Women: short afternoon or cocktail dress a little black dress long dressy skirt and top dressy separates

there is still quite a bit of work to do, but hopefully these will be heading out in the mail soon.

seen on the interwebs... US!

just wanted to post a few links to some lovely blogs that have honored us with posting links to the engagement shoot we did back in april with the incredibly lovely and talented Marissa Bowers of marissa bowers art*design*photo right here in Lebanon, OH.

emmaline bride posted some highlights from our shoot back in may, and you can check it out here. this site has been a great resource for DIY ideas and inspiration as we've been planning our big day and we were honored that the wonderful folks over at emmaline were ecstatic to hear about our interest in the blog.

more recently, Abby at Be U Weddings posted this lovely piece about our story and our engagement shoot. she says, "Sweet as pie, this DIY engagement photo shoot and enchanting love story radiates pure joy and happiness." :)

enjoy!
