Mark your Calendars

Money has been spent, the deposit is paid on the church, so there's no turning back now.

Saturday, July 30, 2005 at 5 pm we'll be at St. Mark's Episcopal Cathedral on Capitol Hill in Seattle, Washington getting married. Where will you be?

We have decided that there will be a eucharist (i.e. communion). Sweetie and I have been given the option of serving as chalice bearers, but we're too likely to spill or drop something so will leave that to the professionals.

The one deer-in-the-headlights moment of the night was when the coordinator asked us how we wished to process into the church. Apparently there are a LOT of options available. After about 5 minutes talking about the important issues (Dad must walk me down the aisle, I'm having both male and female attendants) we are leaning toward a full processional. That means everyone gets in on the act. The groom and his attendants, my attendants, priest and deacon, cross, bible. There will definitely be some pomp and circumstance in this affair.

Now the only wedding/church related matter immediately at hand is the premarital counseling. The remainder of the planning will resume after the first of the year.

Next up: Finalizing the reception site and finding a caterer.
