We'll try to get them out in the next week or so. Things are quite busy, but all we really have to do is address them. We found a designer through etsy.com and she did a lovely job. She was very communicative and flexible. She did the work quickly and beautifully and we'd certainly recommend her highly!

I'm doing some preliminary dress shopping this weekend, so we'll see how that goes. I also updated the wedding details page with some thoughts on attire, which are also posted here:
Attire is beach dressy (a term I made up). We want people to be cool and comfortable, but not totally beach bummy. Ladies, a cute sundress or something like that is fine with sandals or flipflops (the bride and groom may both be barefoot). Guys, we'd like some form of sleeves (short is fine), so a polo or button down with khakis would probably be your best bet.

June 16, 2009 it is!
I just heard back from the resort and they're holding the date for us! Now we can really get moving on booking our trip and getting the invites finalized! Keep an eye on the wedding details and travel information tabs for continued updates!

I added a quiz off to the right hand side. I know we don't have a ton of readers, but I thought it might be fun to give it a try.
I'm trying to think ahead to what kind of dress I'll want. I'm torn between having a tea length one, which would be fine for a summer beach wedding..or a longer more elegant one, particularly since it's an evening event. I've got to keep things like temperature (so, no long sleeves or heavy layers :) !) and packability (not too poofy to fit in my bag, not so delicate to not get wrecked/wrinkled in transit) in mind as I begin my search.
Suggestions welcome!
Thanks!

We'll be tying the knot at Barcelo Maya Resort, in Riviera Maya, Mexico (just a bit south of Cancun).
The ceremony will be at 6:00 pm on June 16, 2009 on the Beach at the Resort, with a catered dinner on the beach following the ceremony. We just got the menu options, and while we have to talk it over, the choices look pretty delicious! If the weather doesn't cooperate, alternative arrangements will be made.
Invitations will go out in the next couple weeks.
We understand that with a destination wedding, not all of our friends and family will be able to attend. We look forward to celebrating with everybody in our hometowns (Grand Rapids, MI and Lyndon, IL) and most likely our current home (Evanston, IL or Chicago) later in the summer when we return. We'll be finalizing dates for these get-togethers and sending out save the date notifications soon!

As we are thinking about budgets and planning and what we want our wedding to be like, this article comes at a very good time. It highlights how easy it can be to get caught up in spending, spending, spending when planning a large event, whether it is a wedding, a bar mitzvah, or something else. The author also offers some tips on how to avoid getting sucked deeply into debt during the process. I thought it was worth reading.

Planning is hard! We're trying to get some preliminary decisions made and are facing some challenges. Living away from both of our families of course contributes to planning struggles. Considering holding the wedding in a unique locale adds a whole new twist. Hopefully we can get some more pieces settled in the near future and begin sharing those!
...is still not set!
Just to clarify for folks out there, the wedding date has NOT been set. Sept 1, 2009 is listed as the date on our knot site. That is only because that website requires you to select one, even if tentative, when you register. We just chose a date approximately a year out from the engagement.
Evidently, some folks are already concerned about our wedding falling on a holiday weekend. Fear not and read closely. If you notice in the section called "about the big day" (located immediately beneath the date a little bit down the page), we indicated specifically that the date and location are still to be determined. We even used an exclamation point! :) Unfortunately, the knot posts the date in big bright letters right at the top of the page. It would be nice if they let you put in a tentative date, but unfortunately no dice.
So everybody just relax. We'll let you all know when we've decided on a specific date and location. Sorry for the sparse posts, there really haven't been any decisions made and things have been quite busy! Will post again soon - promise!
