18 DAYS AND COUNTING

The countdown continues and we couldn't be more excited. It seems that everyone that is staying over has their accommodations taken care of and Jason got an awesome suit for the big day so things are really falling into place. Some wonderful ladies are throwing me a party on September 3rd, thank you ladies! You've made me feel very special. And with two weekends to go, one being a nice long one with Labor Day, we will surely get all of our last details checked off the list.

If you have any questions about the wedding, how to get there, what to wear, etc., please don't hesitate to ask. We can't wait to see you all in about two weeks!

The lake awaits you!

CRAB BOIL, BABY!

We spent a beautiful Sunday afternoon out at Lake Waveland recently and thought what better way to end our day than with a dry run crab boil. We needed to test our ingredient list and recipe and I think we are all in agreement that it was a huge success! Thanks to Bev and Ken for giving us the chance to turn them into crab boil fanciers. Love you both!

IT'S OFFICIAL!

Mustard's Last Stand is officially ready to sell hot dogs! We've met all the Board of Health requirements and received our license and we also got our zoning approval and license. The lottery to determine our spot downtown won't take place until mid-September (post wedding craziness) so we will patiently await the draw. Until then, if you spot a great place in Indy to sell dogs, let us know! Thank you for all of your support, we appreciate it.

CHEESECAKE!

We had a great time tasting cheesecakes at the Cheesecake Factory and selected some delicious offerings for the dessert table at the wedding. Thanks Mary, Megan, Laura, and Lori for a great time!

FRIDAY NIGHT DINNER (9/11)

For those of you coming in on Friday, September 11, we will be having dinner at the best Mexican restaurant around. You are all invited to join us at Little Mexico in Crawfordsville on the Friday before the wedding. If you'd like to join us for a couple of margaritas please let us know and we'll save a seat for you.

It truly is some of the best Mexican food around!

ALLERGIC TO SEAFOOD?

If you are allergic to seafood please let us know. The crab boil will contain sausage, shrimp and crab legs, potatoes and corn.
