The Dress and other news
We've been working on wedding details, and we're doing a good job of sticking with a laid back feeling so far and I hope we can keep true to that. I bought my dress yesterday : D and I love it... it's a great combo of all that I wanted; a vintage look, not just white (less traditional) and it has a fun shorter length (right in-line with the budget :). Justin's looking for a suit with a vintage style, too.
We're going to send out emails to a few people asking to make playlists for the after party dance music. Be on the look out for that!
Our friend, Luke, is going to officiate. He lives here in Chicago; a calm, wise soul.
We're going to do registries hopefully this week and we'll have more on that soon.
Save the Dates are coming, really.
What else... we'll be channeling our rural roots by having wildflowers and mason jars for center pieces.
Justin is still planning to look into group activities for the days before the ceremony, so if you are wondering when to come maybe consider including a little Chicago sightseeing Friday & Saturday.

Dank Haus
We have booked the after party site: Dank Haus German Cultural Center.
And dinner at The Grafton.
We're hoping that people can either take the train, cab or drive to the neighborhood where there's plenty of free parking, and everything is within walking distance!!!!

Hotels and other accomodations
It's been too long!
So we are finalizing hotel ideas. We were able to negotiate a price of $99 a night out by O'hare. We'll post that info soon. If you want to stay downtown, we suggest www.priceline.com or if you want to stay somewhere simple "Arlington House International Hostel" is an option, it's on the Northside and not far from the train.
