302 Days Until September 6th...

I really didn't know that off of the top of my head, I had to look it up. But we're almost less than 300, which seems a lot closer than it did a week ago... or something.

Anyway, so the date is set, for those of you who don't already know. Sunday, September 6th. For those of you coming in from out of town, it's a holiday weekend, so you have an extra day to travel back on Monday = all the more reason to make the trip.

I will update shortly with all kinds of details and more info, specifically how to get here from just about anywhere, where to stay once you're here, what to do when you're not hanging out with us and more. If you have specific questions, please ask. There are so many things going on in my brain right now, I'm sure I'll forget a lot.

For now, here's what we know:

The Wedding (Caps used intentionally. This is a big deal, after all.) will be, as I said, Sunday, September 6th. Time TBD, but it will be early afternoon - keep that in mind when you're planning attire. It's still pretty hot here in the beginning of September. The ceremony will be on the City Overlook at Vulcan Park. (Anyone who knows Gary should not be surprised by this. We have a picture of Vulcan on our kitchen table, Vulcan's spear in our living room, and a Vulcan snow globe on our mantel. I'll save the backstory for another day.)

The reception will be at Fleming's Steakhouse and Wine Bar - again, no real surprise there. We'd eat there every day if we could afford it. Take a look and you'll see why. Well, and we're big fans of the Operating Partner, Travis GO BULLS Grappo.

The site of the after-prom is still being debated. Have ideas? Bring 'em on, but remember, it's a Sunday night in Birmingham - not a lot is open.

After the wedding, we'll be vacationing in tropical paradise - really. We're going to Sandals Regency La Toc in Saint Lucia. They say the luxury is included (no, really, they do, that's their tagline) - but we still have to pay for it. Want to make a contribution to our couples massage, day of zip-lining in the Rain Forest, or candlelit dinner on the beach? Check out our registry and see how you can help with the honeymoon. There are a couple of other things there that we might enjoy as well...

There's your info for now - a whole lot more to come. I've got to get to the gym now - the girl who will be wearing my wedding dress will need to be in much better shape than the one who bought it.
