Marriage License

Joo Lin and I are getting our marriage license on Friday. Well, we are turning in the paper work for the license. It should take three business days to get the actual license. I guess there is no turning back after this. :)

Almost December

It's almost December and that means that I will be getting married shortly. 16 days and 21 hours and 35 minutes according to my count.

Plans for the wedding are going well. We are figuring out the logistics of the reception and ring ceremony.

Plans for the Bachelor party are going well. I purchased eight tickets yesterday and these are the people that will be attending.

James Butts
Ryan Andrews
Scott Morris
Shane McDaniel
Greg Knips
Josh Woodall
Brian Bullard

It should be a wild and crazy time but don't tell Joo Lin that.

Also Joo Lin is having her last Bridal Shower this Friday.

Joo Lin Quiz

There is a Joo Lin quiz on the website. Check it out to see how well you know Joo Lin.

Fine China

Joo Lin and I went to Bed Bath and Beyond yesterday and picked out our China that we liked. You can go to the gift registry and check it out if you like. Not sure if people still buy this for people but we thought that we would register for it anyway.

First RSVP

We got our first RSVP yesterday from our group of people that we sent out invitations to. How exciting is that? Very exciting if you ask me. Hopefully they keep flowing in.

Invitations Mailed

We mailed the first batch of invitations today. So people should be getting them within the next few days or so. I am excited for everyone to get them. I think they turned out really nice.

We are close to running out of invitations so we are getting some more printed out. That will put the number at close to 250 invitaitons.

Thanks again to Dale for robbing Fred Meyers and getting us cheap stamps with the coupon books. I am not sure what we are going to do with 20 $1.50 off dog food coupons. Maybe we will send them with the Thank You cards after the wedding.

Wedding Website Update

The wedding website is almost 100% complete. Joo Lin and I updated a view of the remaining links to it and we added a special thank you section to it. We started working on the the family/friend section and that is almost complete. Joo Lin needs to write up stuff about her family and then it should be finished. I need to write up some stuff on the sisters too. I think there are few small pages to finish too but we want to have it complete shortly after we send out the invitations.

Congratulations Dale!!!

Congratulations Dale for finally figuring out how to get on to the wedding website. He even RSVP'ed to the wedding. So far we have four of them and we havent even sent out the invitations yet.

Target Gift Registry

We completed registering at Target on Saturday. We went a little over board but I think we covered a lot of our basic items. It took over two hours to complete and by the time we were done we added over 100 items to it. So if you don't have any clue what to get us for our wedding presents, go to Target or their website and you should have plenty of options.

Invitations

We are getting our invitations a few days later than what we expected. We are going to get them on Tuesday and hopefully we can get our first batch sent out Wednesday. We still need to get tissue paper for them since we are adding our picture in them.

We had some problems with our pictures at Costco so we had to resubmit our order today. They should be ready tomorrow evening, all 200 of them. Hopefully we send out 200 invitations so that we don't have left overs. If we do have left overs, they will make nice christmas presents.

Bachelor Party

I have created a website with some information about my bachelor party. I am trying to get a rough count of who is going so that we can get seats together.

I am planning on celebrating at the Seahawks - 49ers football game on December 11th. It should be fun. Tentatively we are going to drive up Saturday afternoon/night and I am hoping that we can crash at a friends house up there. We will see if that works out and I will keep everyone posted.

Special Thank You's

I was thinking about adding a Special Thank You section to the wedding website. A lot of people have been helping us out with the wedding and I think it would be tacky to not show our apperciation to each of them. So I think by having a link on the website will help accomplish this feat to show our gratitude.

Photo Shoot

Joo Lin and I had a photo shoot tonight. We had to deal with the fact that it gets dark at 5:30 in the evening now so the majority of the pictures were indoors. We did venture outside for a little bit an got some nice pictures. One of our friends is helping us out and she is doing our wedding for free and she said that she would take engagement photos of us too. Thanks Sonny!

It was hard during the photo shoot because all I wanted to do was kiss Joo Lin but she thinks it is tacky to be doing that in your engagement photo but I got a few in when she wasn't paying attention though. Lucky me.

We might post a few pictures from it depending on what they look like. I will keep you posted though.
