We all know Ben has a great/fantastic/wonderful day job but he’s also a great photographer.  In the past year he’s shot engagement and anniversary photos as well as photos for local events.  Every year I try to get him something photography related and this year I think I’ve found the perfect gift!  I present to you: The Kelly Moore Boy Bag:

Ben adores this bag and it will be a great upgrade from his current camera bag (which is huge!).  For more information on these bags you can check out Kelly Moore at by clicking here.

Here we are, two days before the big day.  I’ve tried to get Ben to elope to Canada but no such luck (we’re mini mooning there instead).

In the past 48 hours we have learned the following:

1. We need a laser jet printer

2. Feeding me in set intervals = good idea (Ben already knows this but sometimes he forgets. . .)

3. Ben learned that you really can’t park in Charter Bus Only parking on 4th Ave.

4. That you really can put future in-laws into a manufacturing line just to make sure some lanterns look pretty (THANK YOU SALLY & GARY!!)

5. We are not DIY people. We’re PSE people (Pay Someone Else).  With that said we’ve done quite a bit of DIY. . .even though its caused some angry monkey type moments.

We are super excited to see each and every one of you this coming weekend and while I know we’re having some crazy and sometimes craptastic weather we do hope you’ll find time to get out and enjoy our city!

So with 34 days to go until the big day we have a few announcements!

1. I you haven’t booked your hotel please do so as soon as you can! Our Westin block is now full (the hotel still has availability just not in our block) but the Andra should be able to accommodate you at our negotiated rate until 4/20.  After that the rates go up to $200+ per night. 
2. For those of you that are new to Seattle and wanted a quick list of things to do please check our our sample one day itinerary.  If you need other suggestions you are welcome to email us and we’ll see what we can do!
3. Ben wants to know what happened to #3 . . .#3 mostly has to do with my wanting to hire small children to put together our programs and escort cards because OMG I DO NOT WANT TO GO BACK TO PAPERZONE.  But since I’m pretty sure hiring children and creating my own wedding related sweatshop is a bad idea, we’ll just ignore #3**

**I am still interested in hiring someone to lug around my scuba and ski gear.
