September 6, 2008. 365 days away. If you head over to our wedding blog, you’ll see the countdown widget is finally under the one year mark. Natalie and I were engaged last December, so we’re 9 months into it with 20 to go. Seems like a long time, eh? It is. But for Nat, the planning never stops. I’m excited about gearing up for this year and all that it entails. We’ve secured the venue, the caterer, and the church. That leaves pretty much everything else. Nat’s on top of it, so I don’t have to be. We’re having a discussion over the band as we speak. I want one group, she wants another. We all know who’s going to win that battle.
There’s so much to do and see that Nat has even started to write a secondary blog about all the wedding things she sees and reads about called i heart peonies. She’s a great writer who puts a smile on my face. You should go subscribe to her feed on the site now. I’m excited that she’s enjoying the web as it relates to our wedding. As we get closer, I’m sure we’ll be doing more and more things with our wedding website to ensure that everyone that’s invited will get all the details they need. At some point, unless you’re a really traditional bride, I could see folks just sending out invitations with web urls. In fact, why not just twitter it to your friends and family. That seems like it’s all the rage, doesn’t it?!?!
Regardless of how we do the invites, I couldn’t be more thrilled that Natalie said “yes” last December. It was the best decision of my life. Thanks, Nat! I can’t wait.

1that was very sweet
as much fun as all this planning has been, i am looking forward to what we will be doing a year from tomorrow- just being married, and hopefully napping!
and even if i “win” the band conversation, how can you lose with a wilco acoustic set during dinner and at least two songs from “the band?” oh, yeah, and the rock violin!
