The nice folks at the Courtyard Marriott in Danbury even made us our own website for the accommodations for our wedding weekend:

This is the hotel we'll be staying in, but there is also a Hampton Inn and a Holiday Inn at the same intersection.
If any one has any questions please let us know!

Scott's Scotch Tasting Birthday Adventure

Our website is up!

Todd and I have put together a website with information about our upcoming wedding. To find out about the wedding events, where to stay, or who the members of the wedding party are, visit us here: http://mysite.weddingsolutions.com/toddandolivia/

The invitations are ordered!

Good news!  I only had 48 hours in the time between flying home from Columbus, OH and flying back to Columbus, OH, but Todd and I succeeded in selecting and ordering our wedding invitations! Hooray!

It took four hours at Papyrus and several enormous binders, but we got through it. The woman working at Papyrus was extremely helpful and knowledgeable and steered us away from an inexpensive (but extremely mistake) prone company.

Then we spend a bunch of time trying to decide whether to deviate from the standard design, and there were a lot of options:  two layers of paper or three; lined or unlined envelopes; all caps, small caps or sentence case; center aligned or left justified; response, RSVP or please reply; entree, dinner choice or entree choice; where to put a wedding cake on the thank you cards; and many more. After a while we decided that some person had spent quality time designing the invitation, so unless there was something we actually didn't like, we should trust their judgement and let a few of the decisions fall by the wayside.  But a lot of the text we felt strongly should be a certain way, and luckily we had prepared taht in advance.

In the end were very happy with our choices, if a little brain dead.
