All the photos are coming in... and slowly... we are compiling them.  Right now, we're happy to present our brief selection to everyone of the best of day 1 and 2 of our wedding.

These photos represent October 8th & 9th. 


October 8th was low-key, primarily a day for Rachel and myself to get acclimated and knock off a few errands ahead of time... you know, like getting our marriage license and purchasing the liquor.

On the 9th, the bulk of our groomsmen and bridesmaids arrived in town.  Oh, and so did Rachel's immediate family.  The afternoon was spent waiting for the rental company to come by and setup the tent and drop off the chairs and tables for the wedding.  Which, of course, ended up happening more or less at the same time as Rachel's entire family arriving on the farm for the first time ever too.

That evening, we got the families together for a meet-n-greet dinner while the groomsmen and bridesmaids went out of the town for dinner.  My brothers and I caught up with some of them afterward for some late night bar-hopping... along with the Grest brothers, our first out-of-town non-wedding party guests to arrive.

There are no photos here of that adventurous evening.

Not really.  It's actually the Chuppah that we'll be married under.  But whatever.  It's all love baby! 



Before you say anything, YES... we know it's not a "Square".  It's kind of trapazoid-like, it's true. But, if you follow the blog, you'll know that Rachel just sewed the Chuppah cover and it is 60" x 80".

The original map I sent Will.  As you can see, it's a trapezoid.  That's because the Chuppah cover measures 60" by 80".  But the trees we're using are 120" apart.  Nature, why won't you work with us?


Eventually, it will all come together.  Thanks to the help of Will...


And Andrew...

If you're anything like me, you've got tons of film canisters lying around with undeveloped film in them.  Why?  Because compared to the ease of digital film, it's just too expensive to develop them.  However, film still has that something special about it... at least in my opinion.

So just last week I gathered up the six or so film canisters I had sitting around and got them developed.  To my surprise, one of those rolls was from a trip Rachel and I made in October of 2005 to Kentucky.  The photos are BEAUTIFUL examples of what we hope the farm will look like for our wedding next October.
