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.

Hotel Booking Details

To book a room at The Aladdin for the night of our wedding (December 5 if you've forgotten), call them at (816) 421-8888. When calling, make sure to ask for the Rodriguez/Rogers wedding in order to receive the group rate. If booking on-line, use the group booking code “RRW.” These rooms are only placed on hold at our special rate until MONDAY, NOVEMBER 16. After this time, the rooms will be available at their standard rates on a first-come, first-served basis. Make sure to book ahead of that date to make sure you get the best possible rate.

Holy Shit

There are only 81 days left until our wedding. That is quite soon. We wanted to share that with all of you. Invitations are being printed as we speak and will be mailed out soon. They look great...thanks to Lisa for the help.

We are now in the final haul, putting all the finishing touches on flowers, decorations, food and all the other things that will make it a really good party. (Not the booze though, that was taken care of long ago.)

We finalized a deal with the Aladdin hotel in downtown Kansas City, MO for the night of the wedding. The hotel is just two blocks from our venue, Club 1000, and a short walk to the brand-new Power and Light Entertainment District. Single rooms will be $99, while double rooms are $109. Call the Aladdin at (816) 421-8888 and ask for the Rogers/Rodriguez wedding block of rooms to get the special rate. This info will now live on the right-hand side of the blog beneath the registry info.

Please feel free to contact us if you have any other questions or if you'd like to stay closer to our parents in Overland Park, KS. We're happy to give you a name for a hotel closer to them.

Lawfully Wedded Wife

Well...most of the time:

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You

It's a little late, but we just wanted to say a huge THANK YOU to everyone that attended our shower last Saturday night. A special thanks to my aunts Tracy (Cook) and Ann (Rogers) for planning and executing the evening. The games were fun (though some dudes thought they were a little too cool to be there), the food was tasty and Marcela and I showed we actually do know each other pretty well :)

Thanks also to everyone for the wonderfully thoughtful gifts. The "weed" from the Kosednars is still cracking me up, as are the T-word gifts that Sandy's mom so thoughtfully put together. I can't believe I opened that. The actual thank you cards will be coming your way (pretty) soon, so we'll thank everyone individually. We will have to get some pictures from the folks who had the cameras, and we'll ask Sandy to put together a fast mix-tape of video that we can post on our YouTube account. Now Marcela is looking forward to the next shower. Lucky. She gets more than one.

W-Minus 4 Months

For those of you who don't speak NASA (or didn't watch Armageddon last night like we did), that means we're getting married in 4 months! Holy Toledo Batman! That's coming up pretty fast. For those of you coming in from out of town, we're in the process of finalizing the hotel-staying options. Feel free to email us at marcela.y.kyle@gmail.com or post a message here with any questions. We'll give you a hint, one of the hotels might include genies and bottles.
