Audrey (bridesmaid #2) got her dress in the mail today. It fits. She's a size 2. I'm the fattest person in my wedding.

I just bought the domain www.scott-n-katie.com for a year. Some couple bought up both www.scottandkatie.com and www.scottandkatie.net. Why both? Because they're a greedy, greedy couple that wants ever other couple name Scott and Katie have to look at this little blog.

To be fair, their baby has a bow on her head. And I know they look like nice people. I mean, they probably are. But why buy up both domains if you're not trying to top Google's search for the terms Scott and Katie? Why torment other couples with your wily Internet ways? Why??

In other news, we're working on a registry. Kind of.

After making us wait eight months to apply for a Schenley Park permit, the parks department informed us that they'd rather we just have the wedding in Mellon Park like everyone else. We were then instructed to write a letter to the Deputy Director to see if he'd make an exception.

The letter is now in the mail, so there's nothing left to do but wait.

big news update concerning girly things

I bought my dress today.

No photos, but for those of you out there who are girly enough to be amused by such things, you can try and guess which one it is.

The bridesmaids' dresses have also been ordered.

Now we just have to decide which of you all we actually like enough to invite.

I think Katie will be posting a big news update concerning girly things later today, but here's what I have to offer in terms of developments on the manly end of things:

In a surprising twist, Katie's family somehow convinced her to allow me to wear a top hat and tails for the ceremony. The question now stands: should I purchase a collapsible top hat or a non-collapsible one?

I went and looked at some tuxes with best man Brian before the holidays, although I'll clearly have to get the garb from some other store as Afterhours Formalwear - the David's Bridal brother store where we looked - doesn't have any suits or tuxes with tails.

We got a copy of the permit request form from the Pittsburgh Parks people. Hopefully, we're only a hop and step away from securing our ceremony site. The reception reservation contract is still sitting on our table at home. We should really send that in, too.
