Wedding Trip #2

I’ve got a weekend of wedding planning ahead of me.

Christina and I head up to Maryland this weekend to flesh out some of our plans for our event.  Up to this point I’ve been fairly out of the loop.  This is sometimes by choice, sometimes by a simple turn of events.  I think this weekend will find me more involved.

I know that we’ve got the concept of the wedding rehearsal down, but I don’t know if we know all the details.  The idea is that it will be “if you are invited to the wedding, you’re invited to the rehearsal” type of thing.  More casual than the wedding, but I don’t think it’ll be jeans and a t-shirt casual.  More of a cook-out type of environment. The location is a manor near the ceremony and reception spot.  I’m really looking forward to this part of the weekend.  I think that the day of the ceremony and reception will be such a whirlwind that the rehearsal night will really be the time that I can hang out and socialize with everyone.

The ceremony location is set, but I think the most work we have left to do is related to the ceremony and reception.  That’s probably not uncommon.  Who knows, I’ve never been married.  One of the red flags in my head is a back-up location.  The ceremony is going to be outside, and we haven’t looked around for a site in case a storm rolls in.  I’m not sure, but I think we’ll have the reception outside (in tents) regardless.

Christina and I were up in Maryland months ago which I suppose was our first official planning trip.  That consisted of address lists for the folks we were going to invite and a bit of preliminary scouting for hotels and suppliers.  Planning for an event at a remote location has been odd because the actual planning takes place in concentrated spurts with lots of lag time in between.  Usually this  makes me worried as I tend to be a bit OCD when planning things I’m involved in or responsible for.  We’ve gotten some resources up near DC to help us out with a lot of this, so it’s all good.

I’m looking forward to taking some pictures of the different sites, and I was told there will be food tasting as well.

I like food.

your choice was right
no chance to be there now
i swear I’m done
no one to lead you back

it’s yours to find
it’s all you’ve ever done
you’re falling down
you’ll falling back to us
