We want your photos!

The lovely wedding photos you've seen on the blog so far are courtesy of some of our guests who have uploaded their photos to the wedding Flickr account. If you have photos you'd like to submit, here's a little reminder of the instructions.

Download the pictures from your camera to your computer.

Go to www.flickr.com.

Sign in using the username and password on the reception card (if you didn't take/misplaced the card, please email me or leave a comment here and I'll get you that info ... I'd rather not publish it on the internet for all to see.)

Click on "upload photos".

Select the files from your computer and hit go!

The final step is to move your uploaded photos to the "Guests' Wedding Photos" set. (However, I can do that part too. The biggest thing is just getting them uploaded.)

Thanks to those who have uploaded their pics already, I'm on the edge of my seat waiting for photos as Bill and I obviously didn't take any ourselves!

We did it!

Congrats to MIL for being the first to upload her photos to the flickr site! More photos, links, and re-caps to follow ... after a few nights of sleep!

Thank you so much to everyone for your kindness, generosity, and outpouring of love. We will treasure the last 4 days for the rest of our lives together.

Traffic Alert

Just got this in my email inbox and thought I'd share it with all of you who are traveling to Indianapolis this weekend:

Traffic Alert

On Saturday, June 13, Indiana Pride 2009 Parade and Festival will be held along Mass Ave and in University Park. Event hours are 10 a.m. - 7 p.m. Expect heavy pedestrian activity in the area during this time. The following street closures will be in effect for this event:

• Vermont Street between Meridian and Pennsylvania streets will be closed from 5 p.m. June 12 through 11:59 p.m. June 13.
• New York Street between Meridian and Pennsylvania streets will be closed from 6 a.m. - 11:59 p.m. June 13.

During this event, please plan your travel through Downtown accordingly. There will be traffic and parking restrictions near the event sites. Log onto www.indydt.com for additional information.

This area of downtown is several blocks northeast of the theatre and a few blocks from the Hilton Garden Inn so it's not likely you will be directly affected by the street closures, however it may reduce the amount of available street parking and cause general traffic slow-downs due to extra pedestrians in the area. Just something to keep in mind as you plan your trip.

Honeymoon!

Several people have inquired about our honeymoon plans so I thought I post some info!
We are going to the Lake of the Ozarks in Central Missouri, specifically the Osage Beach area. My Grandma Owen generously offered us her timeshare week for our honeymoon so we chose The Worldmark Lake of the Ozarks. It's right on the lake and very close to the Lake of the Ozarks State Park, where we plan to enjoy some light hiking and horseback riding. Other must-dos include getting massages, eating steak, and possibly renting a jet-ski. We also plan to stop for a night in St. Louis on our way back so we can have an evening out on the town. I can't remember the last time I took a week long vacation, or a vacation that wasn't to visit family and friends, and I can't wait to have some time to just relax!

On the eve of one week

One week from now our families and friends will be here, we will have finished our rehearsal and Rehearsal Dinner, I will be in the company of 10-15 of my closest girlfriends from the last 15 years of my life ... But for tonight FH and I are chillin on the patio, just enjoying each other's company. We have had a very nice week together, preparing for the wedding and getting excited about it all. We are so grateful for the support of our family and friends and can't wait to see most of you very soon!
