Yes, folks. 9. We have arrived at single digit days remaining. This holds several key advantages, first and foremost, I can put my toes away and just count on my fingers! Second (and actually foremost) we can now rely on the incredibly inaccurate weather forecasting system to sew our dreams of a beautiful Saturday with fear and doubt. Based on the weather the last couple weeks here in Pittsburgh you should be prepared for sunny-rain-clouds-storm-lightning-heat-humidity-wind all in the span of 1 hour. As my step-mother asked, "How does one dress for 85 and rainy?" To which I answered "I dunno." We will be obsessively checking the weather forecasts for the next week, but as of now it looks like it might be stormy on the 4th, so I would say, bring a light raincoat or jacket and check the weather that morning to see if you want to bring it.
We do have a contingency plan if it is raining, so I wouldn't worry too hard about sitting outside in the rain. But keep all of your appendages appropriately crossed for the next 9 days and we will hopefully have great weather after all!
ADDITIONALLY, it has come to our attention that many things on our Macy's Registry are waaaay on sale. So if you're still looking for that great gift and would love to save some of your hard earned moolaz, you may want to check it out.

ONE MONTH TO GO!
Hoooooooooray!! We are one month away from the BIG DAY. That is so exciting! Also, slightly frighteningly soon.
EMBOLDENED ANNOUNCEMENT: If you have not yet booked a room at the Marriott, do so now. The room rate expires on JULY 13. That is only 10 days away.
Less serious stuff. We have been super busy with wedding things. Our lawn games are coming along well, we have begun to plan what the actual ceremony will look and feel like (other than hot), and we have added new friends to the rank of people who will be helping us with the wedding.
We would like to officially welcome the lovely Danielle Burkhart and Claire O'Hanlon to our party. Danielle will be taking the role of Reader - during the ceremony she will be reading a text that Sarah and I chose because it embodies the spirit of our relationship. Claire will be the Orator - she will be handling the introduction of the ceremony and bringing that certain je ne c'est quoi to the whole affair.
As a last bit of rather sizable news: in an unfortunate twist of fate one my groomsmen, Jeff, was offered the chance to play the gig of his life on....August 4. We were both pretty torn up about it when we talked, but we both knew that an opportunity such as this one to advance his career should not be overlooked. As such, I would like to welcome a new groomsman to the mix! Eric Burkhart has graciously offered to take Jeff's place on the roster and will be fulfilling all groomsmanly duties from this point forward. I am very sad to see Jeff go, but also very happy to have the chance to involve someone as amazing as Eric more deeply in the ceremony.
Pentultimately, Happy 4th of July everyone!!
Finally, my grandmother Betty is celebrating her 90th birthday with a whole bunch of family today. So Happy Birthday to Betty! 90 is kind of a big deal.
