2 Weeks

Well, 2 weeks out and things are looking great. We have our final guest list, give or take a handful of flaky people (you know who you are!). Vendors contacted, orders placed, pickups arranged. Getting our final plans in order with our officiant and coordinator. We made a trip out there, to show them and take a last look-see on where to put everything and everyone, and check acoustics. Everything was in line, except for the cold cold weather (55 degrees, windy, foggy). It's not like that all the time! But it might be socked in on July 12, be prepared with layers, everyone. We took the chance to scout the path as well, you all should have maps, or a mapquest printout... a few tips : take the Marin Headlands 'tunnel' road (not the coastal road); watch out for the left turn to get to the tunnel (don't follow the Sausalito road too far); go about 1.9 miles after the tunnel, and it's a soft left (road bends but you want to veer off to the left). Parking is rather limited, we're asking people to carpool if possible.
Let us know if you're needing help w/ accommodations, but we're getting more excited about the day!

A few weeks out

We're getting the final preparations done for the big event! We have our stellar coordinator Vera, our officiant, our entertainment, our furniture, our catering. We've been getting a lot of RSVP's back, and we'll start following up on ones we haven't received yet (thanks to those who've sent in - we realized the postage rate went up after we sent the invites out, but many of the postcards have actually been getting back). Looks like both our families are coming out, which will be amazing to get them all together - some of my kin have never been out to visit California.

For those who are coming in from out of town, and you need help looking for accommodations or tips on site-seeing, please give us a shout out. Looking forward to having everyone out! We sent the card with a map to the place, but here's a satellite view to help clarify, including a look at the highway exit from the 101 as well :
