Work has been killing me dead physically and, as you're aware, the physical too often becomes mental. Katie and I have been having a lot of success in our day to day, which is exciting, even though the individual actions are quite mundane. Take it from me! But even though it's quite arduous, things are working pretty well, and I'm actually quite excited. We're starting the in-depth wedding ceremony and reception prep, being held at the Botanical Gardens in St. Louis and at the Moonrise Hotel in U. City at the Loop, respectively. We're not inviting a huge amount of people, but there should end up being a decent number - some, but not all, of the invitations have gone out. This kind of thing is a bit stressful.
Katie's parents are footing the bill for a large amount of this, considering we simply cannot. Initially, we were content to keep the festivities very small and quite humble, but while this is our deal, Kay's parents are fairly well aware that they're unlikely to get another opportunity to see a wedding event for their children, are were willing to pay in order to fund a more grandiose event. I have to admit that I was initially hesitant to accept such a large gesture, but weddings can be very important to people, and it's resulting in something I'm quite pleased with. The locations were surprisingly reasonable in their pricing, not being much worse at all than smaller or more humble locations. I don't say this often, but our fortune has been quite good in this endeavor.
Some of you are likely to receive invitations. If you don't, and you expected to or really want to attend, let me know - there is a possibility we dropped the ball and missed your card or we can accommodate you. I'm hedging a guess and assuming that everyone that can reasonably expect one is going to receive one (and people who don't might still get one), but I could easily be wrong on this one. As always, I don't intend any disrespect or snub to anyone.
As we knock out personal obligations and projects, we're trying not to take on any more, and working on prioritizing what we've got left.
