Rings
Our rings are VERY special to us. My parents were married for 29 years before my Dad passed away in 2008. They had an amazing marriage - we aspire to have a great marriage like theirs. My Mom graciously offered to give us their wedding bands to use as our own! We had them re-sized at JB Hudson's in Minneapolis (the same store where they purchased their rings in 1979!). They look very similar to this picture - white gold, simple bands.
We've also had them engraved with "J+C" - my parents were J & C, as are we. :)
We are so grateful to have such a wonderful reminder of marriage to wear for our life together. :)

Guest Book
We met through music, so it seemed wildly appropriate to use a vinyl record as our guest book. We plan to frame it (or them) like a gold record.
Photography
We are *SO* excited to work with Mike L and Courtney for our photography. We booked them for 7 hours.
Itinerary:
-Getting ready/details at Signature
-First look and family photos at MB
-Photo tour at Neon Museum (hopefully)
-Reception candids
Check out Mike's blog for a taste of their amazing work: http://www.mikelphotos.com/blog/
It's easily one of the best investments we're making!

Bachelor/Bachelorette Party
Plans are still coming together for Thursday night. We've discussed dinner at Wicked Spoon in Cosmopolitan, then drinks at Chandelier Bar. After that, who knows... :)
We hope to spend Friday recovering in the pool.
We originally talked about doing a night out on Friday. However, we tossed that idea aside when we booked our hotel room. We decided it'd be much better to have a quiet evening in our room the night before the wedding!
