It's Almost Upon Us

The latest Gary Lezak forecast (the only one worth looking at, according to Marcela) says the high will be 45 on Saturday with a low of 25. Cold but not too cold, it sounds like. Perfect! The only thing, weather wise, that will make it better is if some snow sneaks into the forecast and falls at 6 p.m. in downtown KC. Wouldn't that make for some pretty pictures?

Speaking of pictures (sweet segue), we have set up a Flickr group for anyone taking their own snapshots this weekend. If there are some fun photos (or funny photos) that you want to share, feel free to upload them if you're a Flickr user (or if you want to create a new account just for us). The group can be accessed at: http://www.flickr.com/groups/marcelakylewedding/

See you Saturday!

Happy Thanksgiving!

We wanted to take some time to wish everyone out there a very happy Thanksgiving!! We are just 9 days (holy turkey!!) away from our wedding and cannot wait to see everyone who will be joining us. It's going to be a wonderful couple of days. We can't thank our parents enough for everything they have so generously provided. We are thankful this year for all of the blessings that have come from joining our families. We love all of you. Enjoy turkey day!

The Forecast is Available!!

According to Accuweather.com, it will be mostly cloudy and cold on December 5. The high is slated to be 33, with a low of 21. It's going to be brisk everyone! Bring your coats, and dancing shoes. We are hoping for a light dusting of snow from 6-6:30 so that we get a picture something like the one on the right----------->

Also according to Accuweather, it will be 81 in Nassau, Bahamas on our wedding day. My extrapolations (learned exclusively from Gary Lezak) tell me that it will be 85 and sunny during our entire trip and that the water temperature will be a beautiful 76 degrees. Can't wait!!

In case you were wondering, this is where we will be December 7-13:

Nah nah na boo boo.

Less than a Month

Well, we missed both opportunities (time to fire the blogger) to say the wedding is one month away (the 5th of November and last Saturday, exactly 4 weeks from our wedding date), so it's time to say that we're within a month of W-day. That's totally awesome! And totally soon! We are tying up more and more loose ends every day. Tonight we bought some bad-ass black shoes that will go with my bad-ass black-on-black suit and bad-ass shirt and bad-ass tie. Basically, I'm going to look hot.

In other news, our great friends Kristin and Jer just returned from their wedding(!!) and honeymoon at Sandals in the Bahamas. Guess what...that's where we are going! They said that the place is unreal and provided some pictures to prove it. Hopefully they left us treasure maps and secret messages. Actually, I hope they clean well enough that nothing like that would hang around for a month.

Time for a reminder. If you're booking the Aladdin hotel downtown (details to the right), you have until Monday to get the super-sweet discount we arranged for you. If you have any questions about lodging, feel free to give us a call or email one of us.

Most of the RSVPs have been returned. Can't wait to see those of you attending! Sad to miss those of you who can't. If you haven't sent back the RSVP, go ahead and do that or call/email us so we can turn in final head counts to the caterers and drink providerers.

Two More Months

Oh-wowee. Two months. The gestation period of a wolf. The amount of time kids have off during the summer. The amount of salary one is supposed to spend on an engagement ring. The amount of time until Marcela Rodriguez and Kyle Rogers are married. That seems soon huh? It's not. Well, it is, but it's also exactly how much time is left. So it can't be too soon at this point.

Today was a fun night of procrastinating from real work to do fun work. We spent the evening going through our checklist of things we need to do and picking out music for a variety of playlists we will need. Needless to say, Marcela started dancing and Kyle tried. He is still pretty white, but the Latina(o) is starting to rub off. Sorta. Some playlist favorites.

I gotta go slow dance. See ya.

Drew, I'll Kill You

This is what happens when the best man gets drunk the night before the wedding:


DOH!

Note: Marcela almost cried when watching this video. Really. She did. Almost.
