Okay, we haven't posted in a while because we've had trouble finalizing certain basic aspects of the wedding, but in the last week or so, things have really taken shape!
We met Reverend Melody Johnson (pastor at Porter Hills) last night. She will be officiating our wedding, which will be taking place in Meredith's parents' back yard on Saturday, June 9 at 4:00pm. We are both excited that Reverend Johnson will be taking part! Hopefully the weather will be nice and the ceremony will be in the sunshine, but we will be prepared with a tent in case "Michigan Weather" hits us.
My Dad will be my Best Man, and Meredith's sister Sue is the Matron of Honor. Meredith's daughter Danielle and nephew Noah will be Flower Girl and Ringbearer, respectively (I don't think I really needed to say 'respectively' there -- you could've figured that one out). We're still working out others' roles, but we won't have any other groomsmen or bridesmaids.
The reception will start at approximately 6:00pm at Mangiamo (formerly Gibson's) on Lake Drive. We have reserved the Library Room, the one adjacent to the bar near the entrance, which seats about 50 people. Although there's no door to separate us from the bar, the room is fairly enclosed and should provide a very quaint setting for the reception!
After that, Meredith and I are going to Niagara-On-The-Lake and Toronto for our honeymoon! We've reserved a nice-looking Bed & Breakfast for Sunday and Monday night in N-O-T-L, and a very well-reviewed hotel in Toronto for Tuesday through Friday nights. So far our only plans there are a Leon Redbone/Madeline Peyroux concert on Wednesday night, and a Blue Jays game on Friday night. It was actually Meredith that stumbled on the fact that Leon Redbone (one of my favorites) was going to be there the same time we were. I love her!!!
