Almost there...

Wedding planning is coming along nicely and almost everything is set. We've got a very delicious treat in store for the wedding... the world famous Salt Lick BBQ from Driftwood, TX will be coming and doing the catering! Its not too late to change your mind if you RSVP'd you wouldn't be coming ;)

Speaking of RSVP's, a quick reminder that they're due February 7th!

We're still ironing out (and tossing around ideas) for what to do the night before the wedding. We should be sending out an evite shortly and will let everyone know what the plan is. There will be something, but it will probably be low key.

In other news Cara lost her mind and recently decided that she didn't like her dress any more. So she went shopping with her friends and bought a second dress! Now she's getting all the alterations done... again... express :(

Yesterday Cara also did a trial run with her hair and makeup person for the wedding and came home looking beautiful (like always but just a tad bit moreso) :)

Wedding Details

The ceremony and reception will both take place in downtown Austin at the Allan House (1104 San Antonio Street, Austin, TX) on February 28th, 2009. The ceremony will begin at 6:00pm. Weather permitting the ceremony and reception will be outdoors in the garden. Two of the past three years the average temperature in Austin on February 28th has been in the low 80's during the late afternoon, which is what we're crossing our fingers for. However the weather here is also known to change at the drop of a hat, so bring something to keep you warm at the wedding just in case, and don't necessarily trust the forecast.

Here is a map of Austin showing the wedding location as well as the hotels we are recommending (see the post below about places to stay). The green pins are hotels and the red pin is the Allan House. Click on a pin to see exactly what that pin represents...
