Gathering together

[rms10]

We have finally set the date for the wedding -- September 16, 2006. Hooray! We had everything else ready -- the deacon and the rabbi were both free that day, and the reception hall we wanted was open -- but the priest we had to talk to about scheduling was in Rome. For two weeks. Aaaargh.

But. He's back! We have the church, the officiants, the hall, and my baptismal certificate is en route to the deacon. So we are not worrying about anything else until January, which is another cause to celebrate.

Meanwhile, we will be celebrating Thanksgiving with both of our families, here in Ann Arbor. This will be the first official meeting of the parents, and we're actually all looking forward to it. It might be because we're too busy worrying about the turkey to worry about our parents, but I really think they're going to get along well. I'm just really excited about bringing our families togther to celebrate Thanksgiving in our home -- it feels like a concrete step towards marriage.

Congratulations! That's fabulous news. Hope the parents meeting goes very well, mine was interesting but I think it will all turn out very well.

Just remember to get read the defrosting instructions on the Turkey NOW and plan your week accordingly. :)

Oh, that's so wonderful! :) Have a happy Turkey Day. (I'm a wee bit jealous, I confess; I'll be doing Thanksgiving sans family yet again.) Is your brother coming too?
