a weekend-long celebration

Aside from marrying the love of my life the thing that makes me most excited for our wedding is getting so many friends and family members together. Living in California means we don't get to see our east coast friends and family nearly enough (we miss you all!!) but our wedding is the perfect excuse to get everyone in the same place at the same time! Since many people will be traveling to our wedding we've decided to spread the fun out over the entire weekend. We're still working out the details but the weekend will look something like this:

Thursday: Welcome party for bridesmaids/groomsman/immediate family
Friday: Welcome party for all guests (cocktails, s'mores, karaoke?!)
Saturday: WEDDING!
Sunday: Farewell brunch for all guests

Honestly, I'm getting ridiculously excited just thinking about it. In fact, zpao just told me: "calm down, it's still a really long time from now". Ummm, thanks for bursting my bubble PARTY POOPER! Well, I am still uber-excited. Four days straight with all of our favorite people?! What could be better?

While we're on the topic of welcome parties let's take a look at an amazingly cute winter wonderland outdoor ice-skating party. 

If I...

a) were getting married in the winter
b) were getting married someplace where it snows...a lot
c) were sure our guests were fans of snow, ice skating, and hot cocoa (but really, who isn't?)

...you better believe the welcome party would look a little (or a whole lot...) like this:

Mason jars filled with candles, kettle corn, apples, hot cocoa, ice skating, twinkly lights. What's not to love? Oh right, freezing your butt off. Ha. Minor details, minor details.
