The Beginning

Alrighty. This is the first entry of the blog. Kelly and I thought it to be a good idea to keep people updated on our progress on the wedding by creating a blog. How trendy huh? Well it'll eventually turn into an informative place for our family too so keep checkin'.

Ok back to the wedding. We are getting married in Vegas at a place called The Grove on June 7th at 7pm. You can check it out at http://www.the-grove.com/. It's a great venue (kudos to Kelly for doing the legwork) because they will do it all for us. We will have the ceremony, reception, DJ, open bar, hors d' oeuvres (this is not a sit down dinner so if you're a big eater eat a big lunch)..etc. Pretty cool.

We will be arriving in Las Vegas Wed afternoon (to go get our marriage license) and will be leaving Sat afternoon. We plan on leaving for Mexico on Sunday...honeymoon. We booked our room already at the Mirage on the strip. Kelly has always wanted to stay there and it's pretty nice so that's where we will be. If you can book your room at the Mirage that would be great but feel free to stay anywhere you like. The Mirage had pretty good rates but the least expensive we saw....out of the 8 or so hotels we looked at on the strip.....were Harrahs and Ballys. We looked at http://www.vegas.com/ and http://www.hotels.com. We ended up booking on the hotel's website though.

As far as for the schedule of events for those few days....that will come. We plan on putting together an itinerary of the stuff we plan on doing. Anyone who wants to join us can.

Kelly ordered save the date magnets today. They are pretty cool. Everyone should get a kick out of them. Invitations will follow soon.

Oh yeah, Kelly bought her dress this weekend. My sister Clarissa and Kelly's best friend Misty were with her and they say it is BEAUTIFUL!! I'm excited to see her in it.

More to come. Will send out emails to check for updates.
