wedding recaps!

Just thought I’d post a note here to let you know that I’m posting wedding recaps over at our wedding website, so go take a look! We’ll even be posting our favorite pictures from the photobooth!!

Also, if you were at the wedding and took pictures, don’t forget to head over to jasonandjen.seeyouthen.com and upload your pictures. I’m having so much fun looking through all of them! Keep them coming!

So… posting here will be light, if at all in the upcoming days/weeks since digging through wedding photos and reliving wedding memories will be taking up much of my free time…

we’re on our way…

… to Milwaukee!

We’ve got everything packed and even had time to have a pre-crazy-wedding weekend brunch together.

See (most of) you soon!

1 week from today (Sunday)

In exactly 1 week, I’ll be on my honeymoon (PS if you want to hear a 20-min story from JT, ask him where the term “honeymoon” comes from. Hint: it has to do with beer.)

Exhausted from a big party the night before, JT and I will have said our goodbyes to out-of-town guests, opened presents with my family and those that don’t leave ’till Monday. Then we’ll have packed up the car and driven 3 hours.

We rented a cabin in northern Wisconsin for 5 days, and we’re really excited to just get away from it all for a few days (please, don’t call unless its an emergency!). We’re staying at the Chanticleer Guest House, a B&B that also doubles as a working sheep farm. We’ll have a whole cabin to ourselves, and that cable has a fireplace and cable TV. So I’m pretty much going to be parked in front of the TV all week, with a glass of wine in my hand, and a roaring fire near me. Except for when we decide to go hiking or biking in the nearby state parks, or when we stop in nearby towns to shop, go to wineries, or eat out. Sturgeon Bay is the closest town to the cabins, but we’ll likely explore other towns in Door County as well. It’ll be a great week!

FYI: This is where door county is.

1 week from today (Saturday)

In just 1 short week I’ll be married!  It’s going to be one heck of a party!

Things are mostly ready to go…  just a few little details to be taken care of still.  JT and I continue to work on wedding surprises.  I continue to check the weather forecast every 3 minutes.  Both weather.com and accuweather.com are saying that it will be sunny and 60s on Saturday, so I’m crossing my fingers that they don’t change their minds in the next 7 days, and also that they’re both accurate.

Anyways, since there’s been some concern re: the candy bar, I want to assure you all (and especially Dr. Probability Theory) that we’ve got over 40 lbs of sugary substances waiting eagerly to be devoured.

Eek.  1 whole week.  I can’t believe it’s coming up so quickly!  All of the planning and scheming and we’ll finally get to see it come to fruition.  I am really excited, a little nervous, and even a tiny bit sad that this crazy wedding-planning ride will be over in a week.

I took Barley to the doggy park this morning while Jason ran some errands.  He had a great time, and came home covered in sand.  He got several compliments on how pretty he is – in fact, if I get half that many compliments next week, I’ll be a happy bride.  We spent the afternoon bathing him, cleaning the house, and bottling beer for the skating party.  Barley’s exhausted now, and I think JT and I are, too.

1 week from today (Thursday)

I’ll be at John Hawk’s Pub boozing chatting it up with the wedding party and out of town guests!

Weather.com suggests that there is a 60% chance of rain next Saturday.  Accuweather.com says it will be sunny.  Now, I know I have no control over these things, but I am inclined to go with accuweather’s take on things.  (and I am also inclined to obsessively check and report on the weather for the next 9 days).

Tonight we’re working on finalizing the ceremony, filling out a worksheet given to us by the photographer, and preparing one of our wedding surprises.  Just a few last minute details, although it seems silly that the ceremony should be one of the last things that we prepare, since it is actually the most important part of the day!

I’m getting more and more excited about being surrounded by our loved ones every day.  How great will it be to have (almost) everyone that we love in one room at one time!?!
