civil wedding invitation

We started giving out our invitations yesterday. It was a last minute thing, we weren’t even going to give out invitations in the first place. Here’s a sample of the invitation:

Anyway, our limit is around 50-60 guests. Still don’t know who we’re supposed to give the invitations to, especially our co-workers from the lab. Of course, there are people that automatically should get one. See the thing is, some of them have school that day, so they probably won’t be able to attend. Even my own brother, who goes to school for Physician Assistant probably, will be late for lunch. He won’t even make it for the court, although I’d really want him to be one of our witnesses. I guess I understand… Oh yeah, my niece, Avery, has school that day as well, and my sister probably won’t make her skip school. Me and Alou would love Avery to be present. But since it’s “just a civil wedding”, I guess Tuesday isn’t important enough for her to be there. Oh well, I guess I’ll get over it… We’re still hoping they’d come…

So, me and my girl have decided to change some wedding plans this year. We really don’t know how’s my dad going to be later this year so instead of celebrating a big wedding in August at Swan Harbor, we are going to have a civil wedding. We already set up a date, and that’s on February 26, 2008. It’s the date between our birthdays. Some of you may already know that my b-day is on the 25th, and Alou’s on the 27th. The celebration is going to be held at Enotria Italian restaurant in Forest Hill, Maryland.

We’d still do our big celebration in the future but it’s just won’t happen this year. Besides, we have the trip to Italy to worry about, and maybe another trip back home late this year.

Have a good night!

save the date

Last year, I’ve proposed to my gf on our 2-yr anniversary on August 29, 2007 . ‘Twas a great feeling and at the same time, very nerve-racking! We are giving ourselves one year to prepare for our big day, 08-29-08. We’ve initially liked the idea of having the outside wedding, so we already signed a contract with the Swan Harbor Farm. We also have seen a couple of photographers and loved the works of Story Motion Studios. I was assigned to do some “save the date” designs so we can give out magnets. Here are some samples:
