Wedding bells

Are gonna be ringing right alongside sleigh bells this year folks! As if it's not enough to get through the holiday season with both sides of our family. If it wasn't enough to pack up what we own and ship off to the middle of nowhere in the great white north, and have to go through the hassle of changing our address. And just in case changing the course of both of our careers isn't quite enough for this holiday season...

We've decided to get married before we go.

Yes, I am insane, thank you I'm quite aware. Some of the best people I know are though.
The plans are still kind of forming up, but the idea is to have a really simple, dialed back ceremony at my parent's house. Just our immediate family, our maid of honour and best man. And then afterwards having a drop in type of reception, also at mom and dad's place. Anyone and everyone who wishes to can show up, share their well wishes, stay and enjoy as long as they feel like, we'll have snacks and finger foods out, and folks are welcome to bring their own beverages. We wanted to bring it down to earth, make it affordable, fast and easy, but without having to exclude anybody. It's also a great chance to see all our friends and family one last time before heading up. Our new date is Dec. 29, 2012. Wow...
