Hi all!

 We anxiously and excitedly await your response cards and are curious to see what songs you’ve picked. We also want to hear from you on the blog! So use the comments after each entry to let us know what you think and what you are looking forward to!

  Last night I talked to my friend Amy, a college friend who is going to not only do the photography for the ceremony, but do it for the whole weekend. Yea, Amy! You can check out some of her photos as her website, www.ajputnam.com. She’s a folk music and whale watching junkie. 

 The Cast of Characters page has been updated with some info, including Amy’s and the addition of our Program Distributors. So check it out!

Yesterday, Lisa and I received the first response card for the wedding. It was from Stef Shea and her two kids…and so the reception song request list has also begun…

Hi all! On Saturday Rowly and I were in Montpeiler for the all-you-can-eat pie breakfast that was a fundraiser for Grace’s school…yum! We also did other errands such as finding Katherine a bike for the summer at a bike swap and oh, we bought our wedding bands! It was both very exciting and anti-climactic at the same time. We didn’t want anything fancy, simple white gold, so it was really a matter of finding out what size ring and the width we wanted. The funny thing is that we are actually the same ring size! Gold is apparently going up or has gone up, so the owner honored the prices in the catalogue he had. Although he mentioned a couple times, he should really be charging more. So it seemed prudent to order them there. 

    A word of explanation about the song requests on the response card…please feel free to put down anything! We are creating playlists on Rowly’s IPod and hooking it up to an awesome sound system for the dancing and entertainment during the BBQ. So we want to hear from you about what you want to hear and/or dance to! It’s a party for everyone just as much as it is a wedding reception. Yes, you can request more than two!

      You may have noticed that we are getting married on June 21st, which is also the summer solstice. This is a happy accident for us. When we looked ahead at the calendar last fall, we had only a few weekends to chose from given the time that Katherine would be with us.  When we realized that June 21st was a Saturday AND the Summer Solstice, it seemed perfect. June 21st is also my dad’s birthday, so I did check with him about the date and he  nicely said he couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate his birthday.

  We’d have a bonfire no matter what the date, but there is symbolism in having a bonfire on the Solistice and celebrating the longest day of the year. Even better!

Married on midsummer with a groups of friends and family celebrating with us! I can’t wait!

Well, last night Lisa and I stuffed the envelopes and today will mail out the invitations. Todd called, and the local Probate Court has been notified about his credentials to perform the ceremony. He is a clergy in Rose Ministries, and this will be his second time officiating at a wedding (with a third planned for later this summer). His wife Cynthia is coming also, and they’re arriving early and bringing bicycles.

Please check back often as we will be constantly updating the site. There is lots of information in the tags and we have tried to think of everything. Rowly and I will also take turns blogging updates and our thoughts as the next few weeks fly by.

After the big day, we will post pictures and then turn it into a family site…so there will always be something to check in on!

  Welcome!
