Next Up To The Plate...

This past weekend, our friends Miriam and Seth got married. It was a lot of fun, with the added bonus that they had the decency to get hitched here in Atlanta. Of all the weddings we've been to over the past few years, this is only the second that's been here in the ATL. It was very nice.

Now that it's over though, we are officially on the clock. That's right - we don't have a single other wedding on our schedule until Sept. 13 rolls around. It's a little scary.

It's not scary in the "I'm afraid of commitment and getting cold feet" kind of way (quite the contrary - Hilary and I are both ready to be married yesterday), but because for so long we've been attending everyone else's nuptials it's weird to think that it's finally our turn.

There's no turning back now - we are picking up our invitations this week and will be sending them out shortly.

It feels like we've been engaged forever, but I have a feeling the next 10 weeks are going to fly by.

Just me personally, here is my schedule for July: Celebrating the 4th in VA Beach with Hilary's family, then back to Jackson for an engagement party the next weekend, Chicago the next week for NHL meetings, and finally my bachelor party in New Orleans to close out the month. With that much traveling, I'm starting to feel like my father's son.

We are in pretty good shape, planning wise. All of the big ticket items are taken care of - we have a photographer, a videographer, a florist, a harpist, co-officiants, a wedding party, and a DJ.

Now, it's all about the details...
