Last Minute Wedding Update!!

Hi friends and family!  This will probably be the last blog post before the wedding so enjoy it for all it’s worth!  Just an upfront warning, you will see lots of exclamation points and incoherrant rambling (due to my brain being filled with all things WEDDING). If that makes you nauseous, read no further. And lastly, we wish that all of our friends and family in the entire world could be there to celebrate with us and we will really miss everybody not there with us.

Over the past few days things have been winding down, but we have been able to fit in a little fun as well!  My wonderful girl friends and sisters (yup, already calling Emily my sister) threw me a wicked fun bachelorette party.  Thank you so much for a night filled with delicious food, tasty girly drinks, and tons of laughs and happiness.  I am so glad you could turn a stressful week into one of my most fun weeks ever.  I can’t wait to see you all next weekend!  Currently Ben is away for his bachelor party and I am sure his friends are having a nice relaxing weekend on the lake.  Enjoy it honey…this is the LAST time you’ll ever have this much fun with your friends!!!  Married life begins in T-6 days

After about 9 months of planning, almost everything is all set.  This means on Sunday there will actually be food to savor, music to dance to, and drinks to help our guests dance better than they already can!  It’s hard to believe there is less than a week left and I know it is going to go by fast.  We are leaving for Van Hornesville on Wednesday morning, we’ll meet the guy setting up the tent, and from there things are just going to get rolling.  Ben’s parents also leave on Wednesday, followed by my family on Thursday.  Our first friends arrive on Friday and I can only imagine that we’re going to have 3 straight days of partying with everyone around.   What else might you need to know before you leave for upstate NY?

• The weather is going to be on the cool side.  The weather predictions say it’s going to be around 65 so bring a sweater or wrap to keep warm!  The tent will have sides if it’s too cold, and you can go into the carriage house, but neither will be heated in the evening.
• There is a pool that we will be able to enjoy with us and there is a lake at our rehearsal dinner.  Don’t forget your suits!  Also at the rehearsal dinner there are fields for playing in.  You should bring frisbees or wiffle ball sets.  Also, get ready for some games of “Ninja” which we learned at Eric and Clarissa’s wedding.
• If you have a cooler, we can probably use it!  Would you mind bringing one for us to borrow?
• If you are looking to meet up with other people in the area for our wedding, or would like to set up a hiking trip up the creek (I know Amy might be interested!) post a comment here or on Facebook to find others who want to go too.  There are tons of really amazing things to do outdoors and I am hoping many of you can take advantage of the outdoor beauty.

We can’t wait to see you all and spend a wonderful weekend with everybody we love.  See you soon!
