Just a remind for all the slackers:

Ceremony is at 11:30
Cocktail Hour is at Noon
Reception is at 1
Scott falls asleep at 3
Wedding ends at 5

There will be a shuttle from the hotel to the wedding around 11am on saturday morning. FYI!

Also, we have the big swank room upstairs.

I'm going to bed now!

Ok, I'm going to talk to the hotel about keeping the shuttle transportation after all, since I get the impression some people booked rooms but didn't tell them they were part of our reservations (I hope no one paid full price! If you reserved from our block of rooms you got a nice discount!)

I won't know until tomorrow at the earliest if that's still possible.

Also, we're working on where we'll all go to hang out after the wedding. I suspect we can cram a decent amount of people into the 2-bedroom suite that we've got, but on the off chance that we end up with 50 people all wanting to hang out, we're going to talk to the hotel about kicking back in their dining room (at the vigilant suggestion of Karyn!)

I'll keep updating here as I have info, since apparently some people are still reading!! (yay for technology)

Also, we've been tentatively offered the largest ballroom at the Bridgewater Manor because they don't have another event up there that day, which absolutely ROCKS. We're going to look at it tonight to see if it would be silly to use a massive room for our smaller wedding, but it would give everyone a lot more space. (Although I admit I'm partial to the room we chose, since it has a nice view of the pond and flowers outside). We'll see how it goes!

The weather has been changed to rain/wind now! Because just rain wasn't going to be bad enough.

By the way, the hotel tells me only like 4 rooms have been booked under our reservations, so I cancelled the shuttle transportation since it looks like there's almost no one staying at the hotel. This is strange to me, since so many people are coming in from out of town and claimed to be staying there! It's only 5 minutes down the road anyway. Although I do wonder where everyone plans to sleep.

If anyone is still reading this and is staying at the hotel either the night before or after the wedding and wouldn't mind someone crashing with you, drop me an email. We have a couple of people looking for someplace to sleep!

Item #1: Weather update: We've gone from Rain/Thunder to plain old Rain (). Which is somewhat disapointing i guess. I mean, if it's going to rain, it may as well do so in a spectacular fashion. They're saying 60% chance of rain, so i guess it could be worse!

Which brings us to Item #2: my foot is actually alot better today, so even if it's raining i may actually be able to walk down the aisle unassisted! Yay for me. I still may get a cane with a sword in it, just so when people i don't know start telling me i should dance with them i can grip it menacingly.

Ok, so I went to a podiatrist this morning to find out wtf is up with my foot. He says i either have a stress fracture or some generic inflammation. He gave me some anti-inflammatory pills which seem to have made things somewhat better. I still can't really walk so well, but at least i'm not hobbling along at a snail's pace. Hopefully it'll be better by Saturday.

I think Robin jinxed it! It's worse than ever now... . Rain/Thunder they say!! I guess if it has to rain, it may as well thunder too. We like thunder storms.

I'm going to hobble to the doctor in a bit, to find out if i'll have to hobble down the aisle on Saturday. That should make it a day to remember! Watch out if i'm still hobbling, if i have a cane there's a good chance it has a sword hidden in it!

They felt Joshua's wrath. They've changed it to mostly cloudy that day with a 20% chance of precipitation! I wonder how he linked that little picture...... Is that going to work?

Well, I pick up the fluffy dress tomorrow, and I don't know where to store it to keep it from wrinkling. Such is life.

I need to go revel in the glory that is the Matrix some more.

They have broken the contract! . So much wrath for them. Whoever they are. Why don't we have weather controlling machines yet?

I picked up my tux yesterday. I look suave. I mean, it's impossible to not look suave in a tux, but regardless, i look suave. Promptly left it at my mother's so as to avoid further infilitration of cat hair onto the suit.

After yesterday's false start, today is Official Start Watching the Weather Forecast^TM.

Good news! Due to the wonders of modern science (wonders....or blunders?) the forecast for the day preceding the wedding day has changed and the wedding day itself now is scheduled to be . This weather forecast is now a binding contract, and any downgrade in the forecast will result in breach of contract, and other such legalese.

For the record, the reason i'm actively watching the forecast is because we plan to have the ceremony outside, in case we never mentioned that. It'll be fun for when the officiant says, "Do you Joshua take..." and i'm 50 feet away running from bees....

Hey, what's this blog thing? I remember this.

I thought today would be the day to start checking the weather daily to see if we could have the ceremony outside or not. Apparently, May 14th + 10 days is only equal to May 23rd though. So i'll have to wait until tomorrow to start being neurotic. On the downside, May 23rd is supposed to be in Bridgewater. I don't know how accurate these 10-day forecasts are, but at least it's something new to worry about!

On an unrelated note, i was looking through our referrer logs because i'm a geek and that's what i do, and i found some other random blog that linked to us (do a find in page for "robin & joshua"), it was crazy. I don't know if we should be happy that some random person read this or worried that we've fallen into an apparent trend towards wedding blogging. Apparently we rank pretty high when you google for "wedding blog". Way higher then wedding-blog.com apparently (which could have something to do with the site not actually responding)!

So, I went to pick up our marriage license today which we applied for last week. (Note: I could've had a gun in less time!) Anyway, when I picked it up, the clerk handed me this bag of stuff labled, "Newlywed Kit". It was starkly reminiscent of those bags of stuff they give you on the first day of college. The first thing I noticed in this bag was the container of Excedrin Quicktabs. Then I saw the laundry detergent, followed by aromatherapy soap and deodorant.

The Excedrin made me laugh (they clearly know their market) but I was pretty sure I should be offended by the rest. Then I remembered I don't get offended, but at least it makes for a good story.

Ok, it's not even a very good story.

I take abuse for not updating our blog, but secretly I'm sure no one is still reading anyway!!

Just about everything is taken care of, so I have nothing new to report! Soon we'll all be sitting around, eating delicious food, listening (and dancing) to a great band, and I'll be wearing a goofy big dress, and it'll be a grand old time!!
