Well, folks, things are moving right along with the wedding. Jeff and I are marching right through the paperwork and requirements for the Catholic Church, and we really just have to meet with Fr. Gene one more time before we rehearse. Today I set up the contract with Hilton Garden Inn for a room block for our guests. Jeff will update the website sometime soon to let you all know how to book your rooms, if you choose to stay there. Jeff booked our flight/hotel for the honeymoon, so its official, we're going to the Florida Keys! That's all I really have for you now...but keep checking back with us!

Update, 03Aug09
Hi everyone. Not too much has happened recently, but I just thought I'd give an update. Firstly, we put a deposit down on the Beavercreek Golf Club as our reception site. They do their own catering so that is one less thing we have to worry about.
All of my bridesmaids have chosen dresses to wear, and as I might have guessed they are all very unique. I have also asked my cousins Nathan and Christine to be my "ring boy" and flower girl. Christine got to try on dresses this past Saturday and we found the perfect one for her. Nathan is just excited that he gets to wear a suit for the event.
Jeff and I are pretty sure that we've decided to go to the Florida Keys for our honeymoon. Anybody out there have a good trip there and have any suggestions/recommendations of restaurants/tours/events we just can't miss when we go?
I think that pretty soon we will be setting to the task of making our wedding registry, and dealing with some other little details, but at the moment it doesn't feel like we have much to do at all.
Oh, and we sent out the Save the Date cards, which will be how most of you find out about this website. Check back every once in awhile to get the most up-to-date info on our wedding. And if you have any questions/comments, feel free to leave them here.

We have a reception site!
We have chosen the Beavercreek Golf Club as your reception site. It has a nice big room with windows and a dance floor. Check out the info here.

The wedding site
On Saturday, Jeff and I went to see the chapel for the first time. It was a bit of a trial finding a church that would allow us to get married during Lent. Fortunately, Queen of Apostles is run by Marianist priests, several of whom are affiliated with UD, and whom tend to not get caught up in some of the frivolities of the religion. Fr. Gene (for all my UD friends) is also a regular priest there, so having him marry us will be super convenient there.
We started our tour in the chapel and it is pretty great. There are a couple pictures sprinkled throughout the website if you want an idea of the look; it is a simple and intimate little chapel that will meet our needs perfectly. Deacon Greg, who kind of runs the joint, gave us a little bit of history about the church and the community, and we both really like that although it is a Catholic parish, they pretty much welcome everyone with open arms. Afterwards, we took a little stroll on the Bergamo property. It is GORGEOUS. It is perfect for both of us.
