Welcome!
As I write, we're getting ready to send out our Save the Date postcards (they should be finding their way across the U.S. in the next few days). That means no more procrastination - our website must go live now! So... we're busily putting it together so that everyone will know what's going on (or at least has a page to bookmark and come back to as things develop).
Staying Informed
Between now and October 10, if you want to keep up with everything that's going on, there's a few things you can do or places you can go.
- For emergencies, call or email us.
- For general wedding information, check out our website.
- For in-depth behind the scenes information, this is the place. Subscribe to our feed and OD on wedding plans and details.
- To share photos you have of us, please add them to cubes and Eden's Wedding 2010 Group on Flickr. To see photos that we've selected from friends' photo streams, visit Our Story Gallery on Flickr (you'll see photos of us along with projects we've worked on and places we've been).
- For short (140 character) updates on what we're up to, follow us on Twitter. Note that we're cubesdenwedding - there's an E missing due to character limits on usernames.
If you want to see if there's anything you might have missed between phone calls and/or emails, there's a short FAQ (a little out-dated now). (We borrowed this idea from our friends Mooflyfoof and Ed.)
- Who was responsible for this match?
I'm sure there will be debate about which of our friends is responsible for our match. I think we can agree that three of the most active matchmakers/orchestrators were: Ames, Steve, and Bri. Ames and Steve kept arranging various happy hours and gettogethers where cubes and I would play pool on the same team and where cubes would walk me to my car at the end of the evening. Steve had to explain this strategy to me one night after a happy hour at Broken Record where Cubes was not present.
Some of the highlights of the matchmaking process: - Throughout all of April Ames would good naturedly laugh every time I said "I think we're just friends."
- Bri decided to help things along one night after a fundraiser for Crash at ReTox by getting cubes inebriated. I neglected to take advantage of the situation, much to Bri's chagrin.
- Liz asking cubes at Epic when he was going to ask me to marry him; we'd been going out less than a month.
- How long have you known each other and how did you meet? (aka Timeline of Important Dates)
