DEBORAH AND TED ARE GETTING MARRIED

Our photographer, Danny Weiss, just posted our pictures up and also linked them on his blog. They are awesome. Check them out.

One week to go and I think things are pretty well set with the wedding. Deborah is off in New Orleans for her bachelorette party, with my groomsmen and I having attended mine last weekend in Louisville, KY. Thanks to my Uncle Kevin Addington for setting us up at Maker’s Mark, Missy’s Out of the Way Café and Churchill Downs:

I am headed up to NYC on Tuesday evening after I send out my job packets, and Deborah and I will be spending the rest of the week making sure all the last minute details are ironed out. I also posted an updated schedule on the website so that’s handy for everyone. Safe travels and we can’t wait to see you all next weekend.

Deb and I went out this morning and picked up our wedding bands and picked up our marriage license earlier this week. We’re winding down our preparations right now and things are shaping up well. Not to mention that Deborah returned from China eights days ago and already has a job at WORK ac in NYC.

See you all soon!

…almost married.

Just over six weeks to go, and we’ve already gotten responses from many of you. Thank you all very much. If you haven’t been able to RSVP yet, we are looking forward to hearing from you soon.

For those unfamiliar with the Brooklyn area, I created a Google Map of the locations that we’ll be visiting over the weekend. Check it out if your like me and you get nervous if you don’t know which way is north at all times.

Deborah’s mother Julie just sent out our invitations yesterday (thanks!), so looking forward to more traffic. Thanks for stopping by – details about the wedding schedule and accommodations, etc. are available here, along with last minute updates as they come in. To be more helpful, the specific things you are probably looking for…bullets? Bullets.

• Hotels and Travel
• Schedule Details
• We are also interested in a few things for our future house, if we ever find the time to cohabitate. Check out our registry, thank you!

If you have any questions, let us know. We’re looking forward to seeing you all.

At the beginning of the week, Deborah’s mother and I sent out our Save the Date cards out, and realizing that the last post here was from six months ago, I figured it’s time for an update. I finished my dissertation proposal defense a few weeks ago, and after taking two months off from everything else for that, I am back trying to get on schedule. Deborah is still in China, Deborah’s mother and I are still doing most of the planning, and things are coming along – we are just about where we need to be according to my spreadsheet. Deborah will have some time off for the Chinese New Year, and will be back visiting from China for a few weeks at the end of January. We hope to get some wedding stuff done then, meeting with the rabbi who will be officiating our wedding, Ari Fridkis, and Deborah having a fitting for her dress. We’ll also be getting some time to do other things, like visiting her parents in Florida and seeing some friends in DC, too, hopefully.

I am headed to Austin, TX tomorrow to spend Christmas with my parents and sister, and will also get to see my good friend and best man, Mike Cholette. Happy holidays everyone, from Deborah and I both.

Deborah and I had an engagement photo session with Danny Weiss a few weeks ago, and he put together a Flash video of the photos. Check it out!

After a fair amount of debate, we eventually decided to work with Megan Hill of Hello Super 8. She uses vintage Super 8 cameras to film the wedding on 8mm. On my side, I love the look of the film itself, and I think they do great work, but we were stuck in tough decision between two very different but great people to work with. So I called in my sister – who has some expertise and credentials in this area – to help us break the tie.

In her words…

…they have a great sense of tone, timing, each felt like a dreamy, engaging story – nicely executed little narrative films…I was INTERESTED in the WEDDING VIDEOS of PEOPLE I DON’T KNOW.

From her, I took this as pretty high praise, and that was enough to convince everyone else, too.

For our wedding photographer, we have decided to work with Danny Weiss. Danny has a documentary style combined with an outgoing personality, enabling him to interact with his subjects comfortably capture some really great stuff. When you are here next June, expect to get to talk to him for a bit before he takes your picture. More of his work is available on his blog.
