... and a million things to do!
We've updated the map and transportation section so you can have the most up-to-date information on getting around. Finishing touches are coming together and all we're really waiting for is everyone to arrive so the party can begin.
Please let us know (or ask our immediate families) if you have any last minute questions or concerns and we'll be seeing you soon.
Love and hugs, ~Heather and Richard

Have Questions?
Chances are you just got your invitation and you're looking for details about our special day. If you can't find what you're looking for here, please leave a comment. I'll answer them all here so that everyone can benefit. Help us remember what we forgot to tell you ... start the comments feed below!
Invitations Out!
It was a wonderful relief to have the invitations go out the door this week. The thought of so many guests heading this way is simultaneously invigorating and terrifying. It's real (and only 53 days away!). There are so many details yet to plan, so many lists to make and to-do's to cross off.
The thought that gets me through it is knowing that by the end of the day on March 31st, I get to be married to my best friend in the world, surrounded by my best friends in the world and the greatest family a girl could ask for.
So let the box of favors arrive and almost trip me as I walk in the door. Have the shoes fit in the evening and be too tight the next morning. Make us appointments on weeknights and weekends and in between each of our alternating shifts. Just get me to the church on time and sign the papers when we say I do.
Please don't let those reply card stamps go to waste; drop us a line and tell us whether you'll be here to party with us! It's going to be a good day ... best of our lives. :)

Delighting in Details
The past couple of wedding planning weeks have been all about the details. Do we have all of the correct addresses for invitees? What is the timeline for all the necessary paperwork? Are we going to do this? Are we going to try that?
Honestly, I'm comfortable with all of the details so far. It can be overwhelming to think of them all at once, but on days like that I just remember my friends flying in from around the world, my family driving in from every-which-way, and then I am thrilled to be planning these details for them.
So what's been going on?

So what's been going on?
- The first dress fitting
- Printing and stuffing the invitations
- Planning the rehearsal dinner
- Taking care of the marriage prep and religious paperwork
- Trying to find a Catholic officiant
- Cake tasting
- Bridal shower planning (that's Lorien and Mom)
- Getting the flower girl dress
- Finalizing honeymoon details and payments
- Reserving the honeymoon suite
- Sending the last of the save-the-dates
- Taking Mom to the reception site

Engagement Photos
When we were putting together this website, we realized that the only pictures we had of ourselves together were taken at arms length. So, in November, my Uncle Thomas came down and took some amazing engagement photos of Richard and me.
The first round were taken at Stoneleigh Golf & Country Club - soon to be the site of our reception. Later on, we met Lorien and Travis (my sister and brother) at Great Falls National Park for some pictures there as well. The dressier shots we took the next morning around our neighborhood.
There are not enough words to thank Uncle Thomas for his brilliant photographic work and my cousin Micah for her assistance setting up shots and keeping us laughing. But, since "a picture is worth a thousand words" we'll let those speak for themselves!

Registries Up!
It has been fun working on our registries over the past few months. What have we learned about registering and each other?
- We both love quality.
- Not all scan guns are of equal quality (we're looking at you, Target).
- Apparently, we only ever want to cook.
- RJ loves green as much as I do.
- Registries should be done in bursts; too much "shopping" at once can definitely get you frustrated.
- We both really like to find the best deal on everything - RJ online and Heather by staring at three different brands for five minutes at a time in the store.
