What am I going to wear!?!?!

We've had a few questions about attire.

On Friday, dinner will be at Molly Brannigans which is a very casual Irish pub atmosphere. Jeans, sweaters, turtlenecks, shorts, collared shirts, cardigans, blouses, t-shirts....you can pretty much wear whatever you want and I don't think you'd feel awkward because it's definitely somewhere that you wouldn't have to change your clothes to go to if suddenly you decided to go out to dinner at 6PM. Unless, of course, you were wearing your pajamas or your bathing suit.

For the wedding, I'll be wearing a dress and Devin will be wearing a suit. There won't be any tuxes (unless a guest should choose to wear one which would be AWEsome) so that gives you some direction for wedding attire.

And it might be cold. So ladies, it's totally fine with us if you want to rock some sexy pants because we'd much rather you be comfortable and not shivering the whole time so that you can enjoy yourself. Or it might be 70 degrees. In which case maybe you'll be able to bust out that "wedding uniform" that you've been wearing to the 74 weddings you've been to this past summer one last time. Or maybe some fella out there has a fantastic kilt that he's been wanting to wear forEVER but just hasn't found the right occasion. Well, this could be your opportunity. (I tried to get Devin to wear a kilt for the ceremony but then he gently reminded me that that's Scottish, not Irish, and that it probably wouldn't make a lot of sense for Devin Kelly to sport a kilt. Fair enough).

Just make sure you're comfortable, warm, and feel good in whatever you choose to wear. We're happy to share the day with you regardless of your outfit.

Devin has his first official shift tomorrow night at the hospital. Yay Devin!!!

Here comes the bride...

We were trying to figure out what we were going to do for ceremony music. There was the traditional violin that is always very beautiful. There was an option of a bass and cello. Again, always very beautiful. And then there's the option of having a great friend play the mandolin or the sax or the ukulele or whatever other instrument he chooses. That's the most beautiful option of all for us. We've asked our friend Peter to play at our ceremony and he so graciously said, "I don't know any wedding music." Our response, "Perfect." We cannot wait for Pete to throw down some tunes at the ceremony. That's Peter rockin' out on the far right with the cool hat and striped shirt. Cheers, Pete!

Invitations

After a couple of mishaps (the biggest being a red wine explosion in the kitchen that splattered on quite a few invitations) and re-assembles, the invitations are finally complete and in the mail. Have a great day!
