Our wedding weekend is going to be unlike any other wedding you're been invited to. Since we've both done the fancy church wedding once before, we have decided to take a more laid-back casual approach this time. Don't dress too fancy - we're wearing flip-flops if that gives you any fashion indicator. We love good food, good music, and good friends, which is exactly what we intend to celebrate.

Friday, April 11:

Wedding rehearsal and band rehearsal at the Brooks residence. Wedding party members will be treated to a seafood boil after the wedding rehearsal, and musicians will rehearse the songs for the "all-star jam" to conclude Saturday's reception. This evening will also serve as a combined bachelor / bachelorette party. Anyone with campers, tents, etc are encouraged to stay on the property if they choose.

Saturday, April 12:

The wedding party will arrive throughout the day as the house is prepared for the wedding. Wedding party members should be ready for photographs by 3:00 pm. The wedding will begin at 4:00 pm and will last approximately 20 minutes. Immediately following the ceremony, the music will begin and the bar will open while photgraphs are taken. Afterwards, the wedding party will return, throwing bouquets, garters, and anything else they can get their hands on. We will cut a cake and begin the shindig. We'll enjoy a pig roast with all the trimmings. Bands will play late into the night and all guests are encouraged to drink responsibly and either stay on the property or find a sober ride home. We don't want any bad news on our special day.

Sunday, April 13:

Overnight guests will be treated to some form of post-party brunch, and possibly a memosa or bloody mary, depending on interest. We'll clean up our mess, say goodbye, and go on our honeymoon in lovely San Diego, California.

Thank you, and we can't wait to see you there!
