Big Announcement

We've decided to postpone our wedding. We are still getting married, and actually getting married sooner than our original wedding date. It's just with this economy and our current job situation, it's important for us to have as much financial comfort as possible at the start of our marriage. For us, this means sacrificing the money we would be spending on our wedding. We will have a ceremony and reception for our family and friends at a later date when we are in a better place financially.
We don't have a date for our marriage, but it'll probably be November, and it'll just be a low-key affair with a couple people at city hall.

Our decision also means we'll be able to get our own apartment back in St. Petersburg, which we will be moving into next week.

We want to thank you all for your love and support, and we hope you'll understand our decision.

- Kristin & Ben

Busy, busy, busy...

We've got our photographer! She's an awesome lady who offered a really sweet package. It includes an engagement photo session. We'll be taking pictures at a park and out at the beach on September 26th (more 26's!).

Invitations will be going out as soon as this week.

We've got a busy month-and-a-half ahead of us. Rosh Hashanah is September 19th-20th, and Yom Kippur is September 28th. We start moving into our new house the beginning of October. We'll be flying to Cleveland, Ohio on October 9th for Ben's cousin Adrienne's wedding on the 10th, and flying back home on the 11th. Midterms on the 15th. My mom and Aunt Pam are throwing me a bridal shower on the 18th. And, my maid of honor's due date is the 29th. I'm sure there are other things we have to do that I can't remember at the top of my head.
