First off, let me apologize for the gap in time between posts. I wrote a bunch of them, but the dog ate them. Then I dropped off a few at my local post office, and they got lost in the mail. I will try to be more diligent in the future; after all, this is more for our future daughters (you know, cause I guarantee we won't have a son) to read and I want them to have a detailed account of how Mom and I got together.
I think I covered the lead-up to the engagement in such greater detail because, frankly, it was much more interesting than planning a wedding will ever be.
This is mostly because getting engaged is fun, whereas planning a wedding is not. If getting engaged is like licking a delicious soft ice cream cone from Dairy Queen, then wedding planning is like finding out that cone in your hands is actually lard. The thing is, there is a great prize at the bottom of your cone of lard, and if you can just finish eating it, you'll be very happy with the result - even if you can't say you quite enjoyed the lard-licking.
It's not all bad, and future kids, your mom and I are getting along just fine. But there is a reason the first piece of advice everyone gives you when you first pop the question rhymes with "the Pope".
Anyhoo, the reason for this post in the first place is to give the good news. Finally, after much searching and several plot twists, we have found the place that we and our guests will be able to call home for the weekend of September 12-14, 2008.
Ladies and Gentlemen, we present to you The Sheraton Waterside in Norfolk, VA - Norfolk's only waterfront hotel!
We are pretty happy about being there. There is a lot to do in the area, and most importantly to us, it provides us with the opportunity to have all our weddings events in one location. Certainly none of our guests are required to stay there, but for those that choose to do so, they won't need to leave the premises for any reason other than to enjoy the surrounding neighborhood.
We should have a hotel-specific website up soon, so people can make their weekend accommodations straight from here.
More to come soon, I promise!
