The Wedding Will Be in Orlando
Hello family members who read my blog. This post is a little FAQ on the upcoming wedding.
Q: When is it?
A: March 21, 2009 - at 10:30 in the morning. The reception will be a lunch.
Q: Where is it?
A: Here in Orlando at a lovely park near downtown.
Q: A Park? Isn't it hot in Florida?
A: The average temperature in Orlando for March is 66.7ºF. Both the ceremony and reception are in covered areas. Nice and Shady.
Q: But won't heels dig into the ground? And won't men be hot in their jackets?
A: Good point. We recommend flat shoes or wide heels. As for jackets, leave 'em at home. We suggest "dressy casual" meaning slacks and nice shirt for the men and dresses or skirts for ladies although slacks are certainly acceptable for the ladies as well.
Q: So when am I getting my invitation?
A: Who said you were getting one!? Just kidding. This is a family only wedding. If you're family, you'll be invited. If you got a "we tied the knot" announecment, you'll be invited. We hope to send out invitations within the next 2 weeks. Try not to let it get lost with all your holiday cards.
Q: No friends?
A: That's not a real question. But I'll bite. Yeah Tom and I will each have one best friend in attendance: Tom's Best Man, Dave and my Man of Honor, Jeremy.
Q: Are there other weddingy events going on that weekend? How long should I plan my stay in Orlando?
A: Weddingy? Really? You expect me to answer that? OK. The night before, I am having the wedding party to my house for a rehearsal dessert (parents, g-parents, siblings and bridal party). Even if you're not part of that group, we recommend arriving in Orlando some time Friday because the wedding is on Saturday morning. After the lunch reception and party on Saturday you're on your own for dinner. Tom and I will escape for a special night alone. Then we'll join you all for a Sunday brunch at my house hosted by my mom. I suspect everyone will leave Orlando later on Sunday.
Q: Will you be offended if we plan an Orlando vacation around your wedding?
A: Not at all! We'll even get you discounted tickets to the many attractions here if you ask nicely. Additionally, Tom is more than excited to give tours of Cape Canaveral if you want to head over towards the Kennedy Space Station during your visit (1 hr drive east of me).
Q: What if I think of another question when this interview is over?
A: That's what the Comments section is for.
