A long time coming...

It has been brought to my attention that Kris and I haven't really posted anything since we got engaged. Apparently it is my responsibility to update this blog, though it was Kris's idea to create it in the first place. So here it goes...

Kris and I are well into the planning phase of our wedding! We have finally set a date, Friday September 16, 2011. We will be holding our ceremony in the Seattle LDS temple and having our reception at the Lake Union Cafe in Seattle.

We are just under 3 months until the big day and still feeling a little overwhelmed with planning and organizing. I didn't realize how many details go into planning such an event so I'm slowly picking up on what all needs to be done.

For example, wedding invitations. I thought this would be pretty easy; pick them out and send them. Wrong! First of all, having an envelope that is 1/16 oversize will cost you an extra 20 cents per envelope. Second, buying a smaller envelope to fit the response card will cost $40 for 200. Whether or not you buy the smaller envelopes, or just pay the extra postage, its going to cost the same...super lame!

Speaking of lame...Chipotle needs to have catering services. Seriously.
