The end is near!

Here we are down to our last three weeks before the wedding and still have a lot to take care of. We have no real excuse for not updating our blog but we have had much happen.

Unfortunately I must start things off with a somber tone. Within the last few months we have lost two people that were very dear to us. Aunt DeDe was very excited to see us get married and my best friend Brian was to be my best man and also was happy for us both. The loss of them seemed to take the wind out of our sails for quite some time and the idea of planning a celebration seemed trivial. There was no big decision to start planning again; we just slowly started to get back to work on it. We both wish these two people could be around for not just our wedding but to share everything before and afterwards with us and everything else in our lives. They will be in our hearts and minds and will not go unrecognized on our wedding day.

February and March gave us two different wedding showers. To our great surprise we received just about everything we asked for. Unfortunately we didn’t ask for more cabinet space to put everything into. Thank you to everyone that attended and gave us such great gifts. I have to say that Jess is receiving finer cooked meals with all of the kitchen stuff we received.

We also had a couple of visitors this year. Colleen and Chris visited us in January as well as Margaret and Steve in February.

I recently returned from a trip to Munich, Germany. It was the first time that we spent more than a week apart since we became engaged. I know someday we may cherish the idea of time apart but for now we missed each other a great deal. As we head into the final weeks of planning we tend to stress about the small stuff we may have overlooked. Certain details could be fine tuned a little better but I will repeat myself once more. As long as Jessica and I end up a married couple I really am not worried about too much.

Thank you to all of our loyal readers. We will continue to post on this site as life happens to us, if not before the wedding then definitely after to let you see our honeymoon destination and snapshots of the wedding.We hope to see you May 19th

Love,
Tony and Jessica
