So, a lot’s been going on–too much to comfortably blog about without raising too much suspicion–but to make good on my promise from January 2nd’s post, I’m going to update everyone on our overall wedding plans.

After a couple of weeks of investigating locations, caterers, and all things wedding-y, Christina and I came to a mutual decision of, “Let’s Keep It Simple.” While we did find a great location within budget, the money we’d spend on food became a bit more than we were comfortable spending, starting our new life together. So I am pleased to announce that we have come to a really great compromise.

The actual ceremony will be kept to immediate family only, followed by an intimate dinner. A potluck picnic / “forest preserve party” to celebrate the event with our friends and extended family will be held after. So goes the plan, and we’re both very pleased with our decision.

Very soon we will announce the date, and a fun project for the big day.  Please stay tuned!
