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.

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.
