Ultimate Frisbee!

This post is for anyone who is not getting their hair, toes, fingers, or faces done Saturday morning. Starting at 10:30am there will be frisbee being played behind the Sunnyside Building on the Inn's property. Hopefully enough people will show up that we can get a game of Ultimate going - we'll wait until about 10:45 to start making teams. A quick rundown of Ultimate's rules can be found here, but basically its like football and soccer combined - with a Frisbee.

The lawn is located toward the rear of the Inn's property behind Sunnyside (pictured to the left). If you can't find it just ask at the front desk.




People can play as long as they want but Groomsmen will have to be dressed by 2:00 so some of us will drop off.

Hope to see you out there!

3 days and buying cat food

3 days to go and I have to buy cat food.

Trigger and Elie will be on vacation with my parents in CT while Scott and I are on our honeymoon and I am almost out of cat food.  I'll be getting that today along with a few other little items that needed to wait for a day or three before the wedding.

Family is starting to come in from out of town which is very exciting.
My cousin Deb is here from Oregon, Ric and Mary and Mary's mom Carla are here from San Francisco and my sister will be here tomorrow from DC.

I also had my final dress fitting two days so I'll be picking that crazy little number on Thursday morning after they finish steaming it and whatever it is that they do to it that I probably wouldn't notice.  (insert smiley face here)

 See you all soon!
Toi! Toi! Toi!

5 days and counting…

and counting and counting

Counting favors, tables, chairs, place cards, programs, and more counting.  A lot of simple math but man am I tired.
I am in Tolland now, heading for a dress fitting tomorrow, a hair appointment on Tuesday, Ric and Mary and Mary's mom arrive on Tuesday in CT from CA, then final last minute items on Wednesday, picking up the dress on Thursday morning before heading up to Lakeville.
It's a terrific ride that I am looking forward to.

Trigger and Elie will be getting comfortable at my parents house for the duration of the wedding festivities and our delayed honeymoon. We will return to CT from our honeymoon on August 13th.  It is all going way too quickly these days.

For the record though, Trigger & Elie seem happy enough with the wedding plans and as the official advisors they have approved and signed off on everything. Phew!

And this is me signing off and going to sleep.

signs, signs, signs

Kate here.
One week and counting.
Today is July 17th - our original wedding date AND my friend Jills birthday, so HAPPY BIRTHDAY JILL!!!

Last night Scott and I made almost all of the ceremony and reception signs and had a lot of fun doing it (honest).  What I have learned is that Scott is WAY better at cutting in a straight line than I am.  I can draw them ,just cannot cut them.
Here are some signs that inspired our own homemade designs:
That is one that I kept finding online over and over again and I think it is hilarious.



This one is for my dad…

In all seriousness, making the signs was a lot of fun.  Hopefully they'll survive this week of moving around from NY to Tolland to Lakeville, but my good karma should kick in, right?!

Scott and I also made our wedding programs, which we are very happy with with one exception I suppose, and that is that the printer cut off part of one sentence on the back so I had to hand write in "At the" but there was NO WAY I was wasting all that paper and color ink and reprinting.  Besides, I would have had to reformat everything and we are a-okay with how it turned out.  Who really keeps their programs anyway (maybe the parents and the bride and groom, [and Kate because she's super sentimental], right?).


There are a handful of other errands to run the few days before the wedding, per usual I am guessing, bottles of water, flowers, snacks, and so on and so forth.   There's a final fitting too and then picking up the dress before heading to Lakeville.  Oh - and the marriage license.
Nothing to go crazy about.  Hopefully everyone will be relaxed and having fun.
Oh! Did you check the weather?!  Morning rain on the 24th.  Oh well.  Bring those umbrellas!! I know I will.

Maybe it is all about Karma?

I'm not sure if that many of you remember, but about ten months ago, maybe more, we had picked the date of July 17th as the date to get married on.  Then there was the mix up with the dates at the Inn, etcetera, so we graciously accepted the 24th as "The Date".

Now, I'm not saying I want it to rain for the people who are getting married on the 17th, it's not their fault the Inn double booked, but in light of all the hotel troubles everyone has been having the weekend of our big party (you can see where I'm going with this, I know) it would make me smile a little bit on the inside if it rains the 17th and not the 24th.  That said it would make me sad if it were ridiculously hot and humid on the 24th - I'm trying not to curse myself with this.  How about this - I hope the weather is better on the 24th than on the 17th.  That way I'm not hoping for anything terrible, just that our weather is better, right?  My Karma is still in check, right?! Anyone?!

Anyhoo, moving forward, here is the link to the "history" of July weather in Lakeville.
PS: bring rain boots and umbrellas, that will be our rain insurance
