We are closing in on the wedding day! Invitations are out and hopefully reaching everyone. Please use this space to RSVP and let us know how many people you will be and if the food we are offering (make-your-own chicken or veggie or bean burritos) is ok. We will try to accomodate any special diets.
We can't wait to see you!

Details and more
The way this works: James and I chose to have a small ceremony, which means not everyone will hear the actual "I do's." HOWEVER, we want you to be a part of the day and so if you are on this blog site, it's because we are asking you to please come to Orton Park to celebrate afterward with food, beverages (local, tasty beer? you bet!), music, dancing, games, etc. You will be receiving an invitation soon with this info, so if you haven't yet, please send us your address!
Food: We would prefer seasonal but can guarantee local. Seasonal in Madison in October can be more work than we have the time and energy for :). SO we will be having a burrito bar courtesy of Tex Tubbs (East side!!). You can bet Logan is out of his gourd about this. He will likely try and make yours for you. Feel free to politely decline. Or throw a tortilla out into the grass as a diversion. Believe us, it will work. It will work better if you include black beans...
There will be a meat option for you meat eaters (roasted chicken), veggies for the rabbits our there (like us) and plenty of beans and rice and salsa and guac.
Dessert: Beautiful homemade wedding cake and lovingly homemade and self-collected pies will be wonderfully provided by Sarah McCoy and Jessica Ciomperlik. Please make sure you thank them. Look for the tall, thin red-head and the scrawny blonde. We have beautiful friends with some amazing talent.
Weather: Check out the average conditions on October 15 in Madison. For most of you, the temperature during the ceremony will be cool but comfortable. At night, it will get chilly. We will have a tent and it will be heated if the weather is typical.
What to wear: We are getting married in a park and we are looking forward to a relaxed, fun time for everyone. Don't feel compelled to show up in your formal wear. However, please do plan to wear something a little nicer than jeans.
Mans - collars and jackets are great, ties are optional.
Ladies - pants, skirts and dresses will all look lovely on you, but you might want to think about tights if you do the dress or skirt thing, close-toed shoes, and something over your shoulders if it's a normal October weekend.
We will keep an eye on the weather that week, as should you!
What to gift, if you so choose: In lieu of a registry, we would love a charitable donation made in our name (we will provide a list of places soon). If you don't feel comfortable with this, anything you would like to contribute toward a house and combining our lives would be a wonderful. Of course, just bringing yourself is all we truly ask for.
Music: If you want to hear something, send it our way! We are asking for music donations, since we will be hiring our iPods ;). James and I don't have much in the way of 'dance music' (I mean, you can dance to Incubus, but it wouldn't be pretty) so help us, and yourselves out!
Keep checking back here until it's time to get yourselves to Orton Park. We can't wait to see everyone!!
