Save the dates, check

So we have a wedding date set.

We are going to be married July 23, 2011. Darren and I will be married here in Indianapolis.

It's become our home and it is the best choice for us for location, it's where we met, have our favorite places, and where our lives have come together. We started mailing out save the dates last week to our family and close friends. Since we started dating Darren and I have mailed Christmas postcards from some trip or another, similar to our "save the dates," we used 3 different photos. One was from being at the track for the grounds tour, a close up from our trip to California and a third from Toronto- the day Darren proposed.

We are trying to finalize our location. One would allow us to hold the ceremony and reception at the same place but I hope that we end up using Darren's church for the ceremony and a second location for the reception. Darren's church does not allow receptions to be held there but they are a more comfortable location, up to date technology, and familiarity for the two of us. By the end of this week we will have it all figured out and more things checked off the list.

We have our engagement photos next Saturday. Exciting but still have to figure out my outfits and make sure Darren is also coordinating in his choices. If not we will probably see Darren in khakis and t-shirts while I will be all dolled up in heels.
