So, we've been hearing from people that they've been getting their Save The Date cards already, which is awesome. While you're busy saving the date, you can also now stay up-to-date on all of our brilliant missives as we plan and execute what is sure to be the most wedding-of-Sarah-and-Matt-y wedding of Sarah and Matt ever. Over on the right hand side of the page, you can enter your e-mail to receive a little reminder every time we share something on here. For the more rss-reader-savvy, you can subscribe to posts.
Also, if you need to get in touch with us about the wedding, or the hotel, or just want to ask us some random bit of trivia that you were too lazy to research on Wikipedia, there is now a contact form in the sidebar, for all of your burning questions, as well as comments you didn't feel were appropriate for the public comments section (just remember that both Sarah and I get copies of whatever is sent).

While I have yet to write about the trials and tribulations of the Save the Dates - and there were a few - I wanted to post here that we have updated the Hotel Info page with information on both The Three Chimneys (where Matt and I will be lodging and the BIG EVENT is happening on Saturday...umm...you should be somewhat aware of this event if you're on this page) as well as the Holiday Inn Express, which has graciously also offered us a room block. Please click on the "Hotel Info" tab above to check out information on sleeping spots!

I am a leaf on the wind...
Well, I am not a leaf, but the Save the Date cards are. Ok, this sounds like I tossed them off our balcony and let the wind carry them, and...well, what if I did? What if I put my trust in the forces of nature, asking the spirit of the wind to carry the envelopes to their appropriate recipients, speedily and accurately? Isn't that just a little romantic? I think it could work. Provided you all live in our backyard. And in the apartment below us. Ok, so it was a bad plan. Hang on a minute.
Let me just clean these off.
Right, so after a great experience getting them printed (Colonial Printing - ask for Danielle), then a few arduous days of getting the addresses formatted and then the envelopes printed (in our apartment - ask for Sarah), they are out there, in the world, journeying to their destinations, carried by those brave men and women in blue (of the US Postal Service - ask for...stamps?) to the remote castles, dungeons, and jungle lairs of our friends and family. Also, to their apartments, condos, and houses. Mostly those last three.
If you're reading this, you've probably received yours. If you haven't received a Save the Date and managed to get here by some sort of black magic or lucky guess that we have a wedding website and what the name would be, nice job! If you're here because you just stumbled in here because you thought this was a blog about the wedding of Sarah Michelle Gellar to Matt Smith, I'm sorry, but that's not happening, except in some Buffy, The Vampire Slayer/Doctor Who crossover fanfic (which would probably be awesome, but I digress).
In any case, welcome to the site! More hotel info should be coming soon!

Achievement - Get it Printed
So, we have the preliminary stuff done. We set a date. We booked a venue. We spent some time together, and made sure we actually kinda liked each other. Now it's time to get going on the meat of the planning. First step, ordering our friends and families around. By that, of course, I mean that Save the Date cards should be going out shortly. The cards that Sarah and I designed have gone to the printer, and I received word that they have begun printing. Soon, they should be back in our hands, then in our envelopes, then in our local post office, then in our guest's local post offices, then in our guest's mailboxes, then out of our envelopes, and (finally) in our guest's hands!
And then, everyone can start the countdown to W-Day.
And then, everyone can start the countdown to W-Day.
Geronimo!
It's that time of year again! Well, actually, it's that time of year for the first time ever for me (and, unless there's something no one has told me, for Sarah as well). Really, this should be the only time it's ever "that time of year" for us. This is getting away from me. I should start over.
Let's start over.
Let's start with a number. That number? 255. What is 255? Well, it's the largest register in an 8-bit computer system, but as this blog has very little to do with computers, that's kinda meaningless. If you convert it to hexadecimal, you get FF. Repeat that three times, put a hashtag in front of it, and you get #FFFFFF, the hex code for the color white. Convert it to binary, and...we'll come back to that.
255...days? What is in 255 days? Let's see, that's about 36 days, which is about 9 months. Nine months from now is August. 255 days from now is August 9th. That's our wedding day! W-Day in W-255!
That's right: there are just 255 days until Sarah and I approach the...well, it won't be an altar, per se. More of a stone. Rings will be exchanged, as will vows. And kisses. Then, there will be dancing. Seriously, no food if you don't dance. We're not trying to be mean, but that stuff is terrible for you. This is for your own good. Ok, we can't really hold food from you for refusing to dance, but we will be dancing, so if you're worried about looking foolish out on the dance floor, well, then you've never seen me dance.
Anyway, we decided it's about time we got off our lazy behinds and started planning this shindig in earnest. I've also just decided to never use the term "shindig" again. So, we've started a blog. Here, you'll find information on the hotel, the ceremony, the people involved, our progress, and, most likely from my posts, random bits of trivia like the fact that Bakelite was invented in 1907 by Leo Hendrik Baekeland. So, be sure to subscribe (via the link at the bottom of the page) to get updates, or bookmark the site and check back often!
Back to the binary conversion of 255, it is 11111111. So, you could say there are 11,111,111 days until the wedding. That's over 30,000 years! That's a long time! For us, I'm sure the 255 days will feel like 25, while for others, it will feel like 2500. The point is, all of these are sort of true, from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint.
