We’re currently traversing North America on our honeymoon with our Airstream travel trailer and cat in tow. These are our stories from the road.

Honeymoon Stop #39

We're headed to Greg's sister's place on Friday. Then, home.

The Wedding Photos. They’re Ready.

Wow. Go here. Click on Greg and Melissa. You can order ones you like. They are amazing.

The final countdown

Sorry it’s been so quiet around here. As many of you know, I lost my father and my grandmother in two days. It’s been a difficult time.
That said, we’re nearing the magical day, and our emotions have shifted in joyous anticipation of this weekend. We keep checking the weather, and it’s been tricky to figure [...]

Have you responded?

Just a friendly reminder that the responses for the wedding were due yesterday, 9/12. If you’re slacking a bit on that, no worries. Just go here and select your meals and we’ll know you’re coming!

Ring Ring

You can stop holding your breath; we both (almost) have our wedding bands! Yes, we still need our marriage license, but rings are so much more visible!
During a jaunt with Stew and Cindy to Vero Beach, Florida I stumbled upon the work of a self-taught jeweler while perusing the wares at the Laughing Dog [...]

Invitations headed out this week!

Hi everyone,
Melissa has been a busy bee. With the help of Elizabeth Stokes, the invitations are in the final stages of assembly and will go out this week, and likely by Tuesday the 18th. keep an eye on those mailboxes by the weekend or so.

Rehearsal Dinner Grub

This is the finalized menu:

Voodoo Shrimp – Get your fingers dirty with [...]

Flowers, part 1.

So, we’ve been busy planning, especially Melissa.
I’ll let her tell you about the florist situation. I’ll just say this, for all of you ‘budding’ (har har) florists out there: never, ever tell the bride-to-be that something she wants is ‘not recommended’. Or, more importantly, do your homework, and know who it is you are talking [...]

Our food tasting experience

We sat down to a lovely sampling of all things tasty…  and very much enjoyed rating each morsel. Most items fell into my ‘YUM’ category, while Greg used facial distortion and exaggerated ocular expression to communicate his findings. Departing just a few pounds heavier in our food comas, we were thrilled with the chefs’ culinary [...]

‘Twas the night before the food tasting

So while Melissa visits Aimee, Mike and Jack this evening in the greater Boiling Springs area, I await my food at a local haunt where one acquires food of the meat persuasion. I should have thought about my choice of location at bit more, because I chose an establishment without a TV. No March Madness [...]

Mail call

The third batch of save the dates is almost signed sealed and delivered.
