It's official!
This week I went to the courthouse and submitted the paperwork for my name change. It was a really easy process, and the people at the courthouse were very helpful.

1. Our maid of honor got married!
We just got back from a wonderful weekend in Vermont celebrating the marriage of Nicole and Stephen. It was beautiful, tons of fun, and everything we could have hoped for. To read more about the wedding, check out Tom's recap here. We're currently awaiting Nicole and Stephen's return from their honeymoon in St. Lucia. WE MISS YOU GUYS!
Our Maid of Honor Got Married!
Last weekend our Maid of Honor, Nicole, got married! Yes, she still is our MAID of honor (Who wants to be a MATRON, even if it is out of honor?). Caitlin was Nicole's Maid of Honor, which was great for its own merits, but also allowed us to get some wedding practice under our belts before our wedding (I swear we took everything seriously, Nicole).
What's in a Name??
Marriage is a funny thing. You start a new family as a combination of two already established families. You're creating something new, yet carrying with you all of the history that came before you. In the middle of planning all of the food, seating charts and music options, there was this one big decision that kept bothering us. After the big party was over, and our focus turns to the real reason for this wedding - our marriage - how would we define ourselves?

What Are You Curious About?
I've heard from a few of you that you're enjoying this blog as a peek into our wedding planning process, and its been a fun way to stay updated. Usually I blog about whatever we've been up to, or if something was particularly fun, but I'm sure I've skipped over a few things (like all of the many packages from etsy that have been showing up at our door lately..)
Hello Brian Fans!

The Real Reason Everyone Gets Married...
FOOD TASTINGS!
A few weeks ago we had our dinner tasting with the Top of the Hub, who will be catering our reception. I'm pretty sure it was Tom's dream come true. We tried 6 different appetizers, different salads, first courses, and three main dishes. Everything was so delicious, I'm not sure how I'll pick which one I want to eat on the big day! (Or I'll just have to steal bites from everyone else's plate - come on, you know you won't say no to the bride!)
Saturday Night Live
Every August, I always enter the SNL ticket lottery, and then make all of my friends enter it as well, and promise to take me if they win. This past March, it paid off! My best friend forwarded me an email she'd received from NBC informing her she'd won two tickets to the dress rehearsal of the March 28th show. Not wanting to forget a second of it, I've written down everything I can remember.
Honeymoon
Even though we haven't posted any updates here in a while, rest assured that there are many things happening behind the scenes! We'll definitely share more details when they're finalized.
One thing I can share, though, is that we've booked our honeymoon! There were many places we looked at, but there was one place that kept coming up in recommendations, especially from Ryan, Becca, Brooke and Joanie (thanks guys!).
