It begins!

I’m leaving from work early today to catch a flight back to Colorado. The wedding weekend will be officially begun! We’ve got all the setup to finagle still. Gathering the foodstuff, setting up the trim on the gazebo, picking up the sound system. Jen already flew out yesterday to start it up, and I’ll be joining her and the family shortly. I’m really looking forward to seeing all the family and friends who are gathering for this. And of course I’m looking even more forward to actually being married to my wonderful, lovely fiance.

We’re going to hold an outdoor ceremony at a lodge in Black Forest (weather permitting) and then Jen and I are going to take a few days away as a preemptive honeymoon. Then we’re picking up a Uhaul and grabbing a bunch of stuff we both left in storage, and doing it cross-country back here to Brooklyn. Whew. Crazy, huh? I think it will be fun though, and we’ll definitely get some quality time on the drive.

Please pray for good weather, safe travels for all, and that everything runs smoothly. I’m impressed at how low-stress Jen has managed to keep this all, and it would be nice to end on a non-frantic note so we can enjoy every moment.

I’ll throw up another post or two, depending on how late the days go, and eventually I hope to get some pictures…although that might not be until we get back around the 12th. So if the blog goes silent for a week or so, you know why.

See you on the other side.

I see that smile.
