3 Months 9 Days 13 Hours 27 Minutes 30 Seconds

I have finally decided on having this beauty as my bouquet. I'll either have to a) pay $135 for a pre-preserved already-handmade one to be shipped to me OR b) try a florist, preserve it myself OR c) purchase, create and preserve it all myself:


Mine and Matt's five year anniversary was just a few days ago, and his present almost arrived on time, but it finally came! It's absolutely perfect and I couldn't be happier. Something memorable to signify the end before the beginning.

The inscription reads "You'll Always Be My Hero"

The invitations were ordered and paid for, printed and shipped, delivered and sent out. Now to await the RSVPs. I'm becoming very anxious and impatient as I wait, haha.


Food
We will be serving up some penne pasta with your choice of three different sauces served with baked bread and of course shredded Parmesan cheese to top it all off, buffet style. So I hope you like pasta!
Feel free to bring food, as well.

Photos
I've drummed up a 'shot list' of those that I request have a picture taken by the photographer (majority lies within the family). If you would like to be included in this shot list, just let me know! It's all about tokens of memories (:
I've tallied my conjectures as to who will and will not attend and have ascertained a comprehensive number of 72.


FYI
*Please respond by mailing your RSVP back BEFORE April 3rd.
*If you have anything specific to request or any advice, please write it on the RSVP card (i.e. I'm allergic to pasta., I can help clean afterwards., I would like to help decorate., I know a wonderful florist in Etown., etc).
*The date of the wedding is May 3rd.
*The ceremony begins at 3pm, Saturday, May 3rd.
*You may begin arriving to the ceremony as early as 2pm.
(We would appreciate it if you arrived no earlier in order to give us time to decorate and such)
*The reception is held at the same location as the ceremony, travel between the two is unnecessary.
*There will be municipal parking directly on location; however, depending on your arrival time and guest numbers, you may have to park in a different municipal lot within walking distance.
*We expect dinner to be ready at 6pm.
*Toasts should begin by 7pm.
*Cutting the cake will be at 8pm to catch the last bit of sunlight before sunset at 8:36pm.
*We expect the reception to close out by 9pm, at the latest.
