I admit this is kind of a bogus post, but I feel it is only fair after the hours of calls, meetings, debating, and decision making that we give a list of the people we chose to help put on our wedding. I am feeling amazing zen in these final days and all of these folks are playing a large part in keeping me from going hysterical.
Church: St. Louis Bertrand (Should disaster happen, the church has 8 back-up priests!)
Priest: Father Anthony Salim (We will be one of his last weddings before he heads to Australia)
Reception: Slugger Museum (Thanks to Cindy, Althea, and the curator who decided to put in the Charlie Brown exibit this month)
Photographer: N Focus Images (Men are allowed to make decisions! Fred picked photojournalist Wales Hunter to “document” our wedding)
Caterer: Masterson’s (Sueanna Masterson really helped hone in the menu and look for the reception – I have been salavating all week)
Cake: The Sugar Woods (She is not just a baker, she is an artist)
Flowers: Aebersold Florist (Thank you Lana for convincing my mother to wear a corsage . . . and she yells at me for bucking tradition!)
DJ: Sounds Unlimited Production (A party is only as good as the music, and these guys provide an MC plus a DJ who also runs lighting. They are so popular, they are already booking derby parties for next year!)
Ceremony Music: Jack Griffin (first chair violinist for the Louisville Orchestra), Tony Clemons (church organist), Amanda (flute playing work buddy of Jaclyn’s), Jamie (Fred’s cousin and future American Idol winner)
Bridal Ware: Sher’s (my dress – Thank God for Jo Ann!), Rebecca’s Bridal Boutique (Lucky’s Dress)
