Accomodations

Hello everyone!

If you are keeping up to date with our wedding planning via this blog,  then here is an important update!

The Holiday Inn Express no longer has rooms at the discounted rate.  Apparently only 3 people made reservations even though we had asked for 19 rooms!!  You can try and see if there are any openings without the discounted rate, but I can't guarantee it.

I am waiting to hear about the number of rooms left at the Days Inn in Santa Rosa, which is also apparently now called the Palms Inn.  If you call them, you must ask to speak with someone named Kent, otherwise the front desk staff gets very confused!

Also, if you are reading this, can you please email me at beth@bethandrobert.com and tell me where you will be staying and if you'd like to take advantage of the shuttles we have arranged to pick up guests and bring them back to both the Holiday Inn and Palms Inn.  There is room for 30 people to be picked up at the Palms Inn and 50 people to be picked up at the Holiday Inn.

Thanks!

Beth and Robert

32 days!

The past few weeks have been a whirlwind!  I don't even know where to begin with this post!

I'll start with the most recent events:

Sunday, my bridesmaids threw me a wonderful bridal shower.  Having my friends and family there was wonderful.  Lots of laughs and lots of fun times.  Big thanks to everyone who came out and celebrated with me, and for those that couldn't be there, you were missed!

Plans are almost finished.  For anyone interested, there will be shuttles from the Days Inn in Santa Rosa and the Holiday Inn Express in Windsor.  Email us if you are staying at one of those hotels and if you are interested in taking the shuttle!

We took a day trip to the venue a few weeks ago to see the few changes that have been made and get an idea on where to put everything.  It was a very helpful visit, and helped solidify a lot of ideas.  Next week, I will share a few different wineries that we suggest visiting while you are there!

The dance for my dad and I are done.  We had a great time at Boogie Woogie Studios.   The first dance for Robert and I...is coming a little slower than I'd have liked, and its not Robert's fault.  He is actually doing pretty well (even though the only arguments we've had over this whole wedding revolves around dance steps!).  Our instructor is interesting.  She's really nice, but she changes the choreography almost every session.  We've had to add two more sessions to the original five and we still aren't really done with the dance.  We have one more on Tuesday night, and we will see where it stands from there.  If we don't get it finished, we may just go to Boogie Woogie studio's in Foster City and work on it there.

Other than all that, things are coming along!  I can't wait to see it all come together!
