Picture in the Sidebar

I wanted to make sure that everyone knows that my sister Vanessa took the picture on the sidebar of this website. She took the picture when my family was visiting New York for my graduation from law school. I love the picture and I plan to use it as our official engagement picture to be published in the Sun Current back home in Minnesota. Thanks, Vanessa!

Tentative Date for Wedding

Right now, Brian and I have decided to have the wedding on August 15th, 2009. I plan to reserve the date with the ceremony site very soon. By very soon, I mean the next couple of days. Therefore, be on the lookout for a new post announcing the official wedding date! I am excited!

Don't make solid reservations yet but I just wanted to make sure everyone was aware that we are planning it for a Saturday in August!

Open for Business!

The wedding planning blog is now kicked into gear. After the necessary comment from my sister this morning wondering why I procrastinate planning the wedding, I thought that I should just buckle down and start this blog!

I stopped nit-picking over the perfect banner for this website and just created one that I liked. Brian's first response to it was "We aren't using those fonts on our invitations, are we?" I said, "No." "Oh, then it's great!" he said.

He's a picky man.

So, here it is. I created the banner by downloading vector graphics for free from Vecteezy! Then I created the graphic in a combination of MS Word and Gimp, a freeware version of Photoshop. I know that most people won't care about those details but I felt the need to give credit where credit is due.

The banner is subject to change as we figure out what fonts and styles we are using for our invitation suite. I like it for the time being. Expect many more posts in the future since there are many things to do! Happy planning!
