Invitations are coming soon. We have the art for them, we just need to design the text, get them printed, and send the damn things.
The art for the invitations is amazing and its taken so much for me not to post them here for every one to see. Its so good, we want you all to be surprised to see it.
Lots of details to work out yet, but things are moving along.
We are considering registering at Crate & Barrel.
Things are going swimmingly. :)
Was it love at first sight?
... and I answered
It was immediate friendship and respect. We hung out a lot while dating each other’s friends and it very organically turned from “friend” feelings to more after those relationships ended. I knew right away I wanted to, at the very least, know him forever.
I checked this answer with him and he totally agrees. :)
