Progress!

Yesterday we squared away lodging logistics for our bridal party, selected and ordered formal wear including my dress and M's tux, and had some bonding time with our bridal party. Everyone got along swimmingly, and I was impressed that we got out of the Bridal boutique in two hours flat. Have I mentioned yet that my bridesmaids and Maid of Honor are awesome?

Meanwhile, the groomsmen and Best Man somehow got M to make a decision about formal wear. They were done early, and secured a pair of tables for us at a nearby coffee house.

Cooking for lots went well, too. We had nine people around the table last night for a big, family style meal. M took a portion over to our elderly neighbor, Bob. It felt really good to have our giant table filled with friends and food and laughter. The recently de-boxed living room handles a crowd fairly well, but needs more seating (which we knew). In the quiet, unstructured time, we're introducing Im & Jess to Leverage.
