Hey everyone!
This will probably be my final post before the big day, which is just 13 short days away (but who's counting, right?). Anyways, just wanted to let you know a couple things.
If you haven't made travel arrangements yet, please do yourself a favor and do it right now, it's been getting increasingly harder to find rooms at this point - I've been looking.
If for any reason weather should prevent us from having the ceremony at the park, please check this blog on the morning of the wedding for a backup plan - we have a couple options. But hopefully *knock on wood* that won't be necessary. If anything it might be a little hot and muggy (which reminds me, wear something you can breathe in, but also bring a sweater/shawl/jacket/something to warm you up since it's right on the water, you will want to be prepared!).
I am so excited to see all of you, travel safe and I will see you very soon!
Love,
Mandy

Répondez s'il vous plaît
It occurs to me that I forgot to include a "Respond by" date on the invitations. Please give me your yes or no answer by July 15th if possible. We need those numbers for the caterer!
Thanks for your cooperation :)

4 Months and 3 Days!
Hello All!
Wow, I can't believe we have only 4 months, time is really flying. If you haven't made travel arrangements and hotel reservations.....Well, you know what I'm going to say. You may be hard-pressed at this point to find a place to stay in Gloucester (where the reception is) so if those are your plans you might want to have a backup. There are cheaper hotels, as I've mentioned before, in Danvers and Peabody, places like Days Inn, Comfort Inn, Motel 6 and Marriot Courtyard. Let me know if you need any help finding a place, I did grow up in this area!
Anyways, on to the fun stuff. Adam and I picked out our rings! I won't spoil the surprise but they're very clean and simple, I'm very happy with them.
Bridesmaids are all suited up and ready to go! No you groomsmen just have to go get yourselves fitted for your tuxes. We're registered at Men's Warehouse, you can go into any location and give them our info and they will fit you for a tux. Probably not something you have to worry about for another month or so, but I would definitely get in there by the end of June.
Invitations are almost finished! I just have to write out the addresses and work out a couple more details. Those will probably be going out around the end of May/beginning of June.
Once again, please feel free to contact me with any questions about any aspect of the wedding. Whether you're concerned about hotels, flights, places to eat, or even what to wear (just FYI there is no official "dress code", it's not like I will turn you away if you're not fancy enough, but I'm pretty sure most of your know what's appropriate and not appropriate for a wedding).
Love to everyone!

Less than 6 months to go!
It's getting down to the wire! If you're planning on coming and you haven't booked your flights/hotels yet, now is the time, especially if you're planning on staying in Gloucester, where the reception is. It's a vacation town and those rooms will fill quickly, so it would be a good idea to act now.
In other news......GAHHHHH!!!!!!!! LESS THAN 6 MONTHS!!!!! There is still so much to do and my stress level is slowly rising, but I am beyond excited.
Just to update everyone a little bit on mine and Adam's life, here is the latest:
We decided to lease our current apartment for another 6 months. Our lease is up at the end of March and we were planning on moving, but decided that it would be a little more costly and a little more of a hassle than we'd prefer. After the wedding just seems like a better time.
We've been traveling quite a bit. Last month we went to Vancouver and I went home to visit my family in Boston, and this month Adam visited his family in Ohio. We also just got home from a one-night trip to central Washington to visit some friends, which was awesome. The drive through the mountains is breathtaking.
I got glasses! I went to an optometrist and as I suspected, I am moderately nearsighted. I am amazed at how well I can see with the glasses, I keep saying I don't think I could ever see this well before, it's an incredible sensation. I will probably be going back to get contacts before too long, because even though I don't mind the glasses, my vision for myself for my wedding day did not include them on my face.
Well, I hope that everyone is doing well and had a fantastic Valentine's Day! Let me know if you need any help selecting a hotel or finding flights. Kayak.com is great for flights, and hotwire.com is great for hotels if you're looking for a good deal.
Take care!
Love,
Mandy

6 1/2 Months!
Hello everyone!!!
February 12th is fast approaching, and that means we will only have 6 months to go before the wedding! I have been hard at work on the registries today and I will continue to add to it, but I just wanted to remind everyone that since we will be traveling to Boston for the wedding and returning to Seattle afterwards, we ask that you please have gifts delivered to our Washington address. You will have this option at checkout. We are registered at both Macy's and Target.
The tuxes have been selected! All the men in the wedding party will need to get fitted in addition to dads/stepdads/grandfathers if they want. You all have plenty of time to get fitted, so I would suggest waiting for now (we may be changing a couple of details). The deadline is 30 days before the wedding. If you're driving it would probably be a good idea to go to the store closest to you and then you can just return it at a Massachusetts store the day after the wedding. If you're flying you might want to consider picking up your tux at a Massachusetts store, but you should still go get measured at least a month before and they will make sure your order is available in Massachusetts. Danvers and Peabody both have locations within 15 minutes of the wedding location.
Hope everyone is doing well and having an excellent 2011!

It's Been Awhile...
Hello everybody!
The 7-month mark is fast-approaching! Adam and I will be picking out the tuxes soon, so groomsmen beware! Bridesmaids, it's probably a good time to start thinking about getting measured and buying your dresses in case any alterations are needed. You will be ordering from Benita's Bridal in Silverdale, WA, just call them (360) 692-9600 and they will ship it to you. You can get it altered at any dress shop if it doesn't fit. Remember, if you're in between sizes, go for the bigger one, it's easier to take a dress in than it is to let it out. As for shoes, I'm looking this morning and will be emailing you with the final decision soon.
Hope everyone's holiday season was a blast, we certainly had a lot of fun :).
Love and hugs,
Mandy
