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!
W-242!

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.
