Hiohiohio-
Just wanted to let you know where we stand in terms of getting out announcements and stuff. Looks like we're aiming for Sunday, October 3 to get the stuff out, which means that we need to complete our portion of the guest name and address list by next week.
If you could spend some time in the afternoons or over the weekend looking through this list (attached excel file) and filling in blanks (or adding in guests we may have forgotten), that would be verra helpful :) Drew and I are working on compiling the lists and making sure there aren't duplicates. Not sure yet if they're hiring a calligrapher or what, but I'd imagine we'll need at least 4 or 5 days to get all of these things addressed and out once the list is completed.
Let me know if you have questions or if you think I can help out with this. Love you bof! :-D

P.s. - Also, I've been thinking, and I don't know if I want to drop either of my current names... do you think the name Tina Michelle Salmon Starr (no hyphenation - just a new middle/last name) sounds too ridiculous?

What about James and Julie Mize? He was around a lot when you were little and is still a good friend. Marianne and Butch Vinagoni, Joe Cleghorn etc?
(note that he sends me names rather than just updating the list... this is not the first time I've asked for addresses and names, mind you...)

Oops I forgot about your married name. I think the hyphen is appropriate in this day and time and very well received by most folks (I'm glad you are wanting to do this), what problem do you have with Tina Michelle Salmon-Starr?
(this is what gets me... I ask him what he thinks about options A or B - very sensitive topic for me... So he suggests option C for the fiftieth time as though he's never suggested it. I have already said I WILL NOT HYPHENATE on many occasions while talking to him. And he wonders why I'm not sticking with the whole "I'm not even going to change my name when I get married" story that I told him when I was in the THIRD FREAKING GRADE! God forbid I actually grow up to fall in love with someone whose name I feel honored to take as my own. This is the last time I ask his opinion for the sake of making him feel included... Grr.)
