So I was thinking us boys should go out on the 19th and have a sit down cigar, dinner and whiskey at Edgefield so we can enjoy a little male bonding before the wedding. Maybe future brother-in-law Daniel and Uncles Paul, Deano and Jay can join as well depending on what day they are arriving.
Just a thought.

No Lionel Richie
I noticed some Lionel Richie suggestions for the music but after I saw this many years ago, I am deeply afraid of the man and unable to listen to his music without paranoia and fear:
One month away!

Wedding Planning, Kiss My...
Invitations are out. I trust everyone has gotten theirs?
Flower girl dress has been ordered (SO CUTE!)
Major honeymoon stuff is all payed and ready, Ian's suit will be ready next week (I hear it is smashing!)The garter is ordered, the playlist is stewing and most other "big" to-dos are to-done.
Here's what's left:
July 18th- 10am Meet with DJ to go over music preferences, attire and time line.
July 19th- 3pm Final dress fitting. Bring shoes.
July 22nd- Call Fire on the Mountain to confirm time, number of guests, and dinner order. (By the way, totally stoked about the rehearsal dinner.)
July 25th- Call Cupcake Jones to confirm date, time, and setup details. Make tasting appointment to choose flavors (yay!)
August 1st- 4pm Hair and makeup trial at Nicole Wagner's house.
August 1st- Obtain marriage license at the Multnomah Building before 2pm.
August 2nd- Call bad, bad no-RSVPers to awkwardly ask whether or not they are coming.
August 9th- 3pm "In case of emergencies" dress fitting appointment.
August 14th- Call Fire on the Mountain to finalize rehearsal dinner plans.
August 17th- 11am appointment for Ian's beautification.
August 18th- Make all honeymoon-related confirmation calls.
August 19th- 10am appointment at Wax On Spa to make Lisa look less like this:
August 20th- Strange together-but-separate bachelor/bachelorette parties at McMenamin's Edgefield. We'll try not to bump into each other?
August 21st- 11am appointment for Lisa's beautification of the finger and toenails.
August 21st- 4pm Rehearsal at Kruger's Farm followed by dinner at Fire on the Mountain at 6:30pm.
August 22nd- 10am Lisa and bridesmaids arrive at the farm with ceremony attire, guest
book & supplies. Check in with Nancy, set up at the Charlton House and relax with mimosas and breakfast.
11am-3pm Lisa and girls do makeup and hair at the Charlton House.
4pm Pictures (moms and dads, you too) with Craig on the farm.
4:50pm Lisa has a major panic attack, frantically fixes eye makeup and practices breathing techniques. No biggie, it's in the schedule.
4:55pm Dad comes and gets Lisa from the house of hysteria and prepares to walk her down the aisle.
5:00pm Lisa teeters down the lumpy, grassy, beautiful aisle to MARRY HER BEST FRIEND! Ian also will do this, but with less teetering.
Somewhere in there we've got to write our vows, plan out and put together programs, compile welcome packages for out-of-towners, get the bridesmaids dresses fitted, figure out how to bribe Rachel to get down the aisle, get Ian's shoes and tie, arrange wedding day transportation, figure out gifts for the wedding party, and find some wedding shoes already!
So there's my update. Also, Ian looks like a rock star. He is at the gym like 40 hours a week. Soon he will fit into my dress.
Love yous!
