Congratulations to us!

How to plan a wedding in less than a month

Thank you to everyone who helped! I don't recommend ever trying to plan an event like this in under a month, but should you ever find yourself in the situation, I can recommend:

• Day-of Event Coordination by Jen Gets It Done - Jen helped pull logistics together and was a true lifesaver.
• Jacquelyn Martin Photography - photojournalist extraordinaire
  
• Greenworks Florist
  
• Spanish/Classical Guitar - cocktail hour music by Jarrett Laskey
• Favors by My M&Ms
• Dessert by Cake Love - Strawberrys & Cream and My Downfall
  
• Hair by Lauren at Fiddleheads
• Nusta Spa - nails/spa day organized by the amazing Megan, Anat, and Barbara
• More flowers under the guidance of the amazing Laura and Megan and with supplies from World Market and Johnson's Florist
• Paper Source - with place card bows lovingly tied by Kathy, Paula, Monica, and Heidi
• Ipod playlist
• Tux/Vest Rental

Plus...

• 300+ photos shot over the course of 4 years
  
• 1 minute of trans-pacific video shot over the course of 4 hours
• One 75-year-old wedding band, and another wedding band from a nameless jewelry store who has trouble fed-ex-ing things on time!
  
• One interview with the Australian Ambassador (good on ya, cobber!)
  
• Spence on hd flip video camera
  
• Dress alterations in 48 hours
• Vows and a Judge
  

After Party

We'll be heading out to Bar Dupont at the Dupont Hotel after dinner on June 19th - around 10:30 PM. The Dupont Hotel is located 2 blocks east of the Cosmos Club (walk over on Q Street towards Connecticut Avenue to 19th and Q; your car can remain in the Cosmos lot). We hope you can join us!

"The newly-refurbished Dupont Hotel houses the Bar Dupont: Intimate, unexpected and unashamedly chic, the cocktail bar redefines lounge style for the Dupont Circle set. Custom-designed leather furnishings, modern artworks and rich, dark textures create a seductive atmosphere within the hotel in which to enjoy lunch or dinner, a glass of wine or a colourful cocktail with friends."

... Sounds almost too chic for me, but I'll be at my maximum chic that night, so why not?! ;-)
