Countdown to I DO

Back in September, basking in our “just engaged” bliss, we weren’t too concerned about setting our wedding date just yet.  I had one request… “As long as we can get married before I turn 40, I don’t care when we get married.”

The past 8 months have flown by!!!  In that time I started two new jobs (in addition to continuing to work the 4 other part-time jobs I have), we moved, and we’ve both had a lot of fun planning every aspect of our big day.  The venue was chosen, and based on its availability the date was set.  June 1st easily met my request and it has the added sentimental value of being 15 months to the day after our first date.  We are both a little hopelessly romantic and have been celebrating “anniversaries” on the first of each month.  June 1st will be extra special! 😉

Its hard to believe it is just 10 days away!  We are so excited and we can’t wait to celebrate with all of you who are going to be there!!!

Yes, we have a wedding band!  Well, sort of.  We have a DJ for the night, but our band will perform a couple tunes.   Who’s in the band you ask?  Perhaps the name of the band will give it away…

Dave & The Groomsmen  

Drums: Dave Hooper (the groom)

Guitar: Michael Ripoll (the best man)

Bass: Jamie Forsyth (groomsman)

Background Vocals & Percussion: Rusty Jenkins (groomsman)

We had rehearsal today and ran the tunes we are planning to play at the wedding.  We had a great time working on the tunes and then spent some serious time at the BBQ grill.

We will also have a couple special guest singers and then maybe invite some of my musician friends to come up and jam?
