IT APPROACHES
HOLY CRAP IT'S ALMOST HERE!!
I'm both excited and TOTALLY FREAKING OUT. In a good way. Mostly. Yes.
Here's the schedule for the big day: Where you need to be, when, and what you will need.
12:30 Decorating crew arrives at the venue
We have asked some spouses, family, and friends to go to the venue early and get everything set up. You may or may not know people who are doing this. If you don't, don't stress it.
1:00 Getting ready pictures!
Bring your dresses/suits/makeup etc. and get ready with your bride!
Jen's bridal party will be getting ready at the Mark Spencer Hotel (409 SW 11th Ave, Portland, OR 97205). (Jen and Maddie will be getting their hair done in the hotel room starting at 10:30 if you want to show up early and hang out, but nothing fun will be happening yet.)
Amanda's party will be getting ready at the venue itself, Castaway Portland (1900 NW 18th Ave, Portland, OR 97209) I'll be leaving the hotel and getting to the venue about 2:45 to put on the cupcake dress.
3:00 First look and bridal party photos
Everyone will be at Castaway and take a chill break (except the brides who get to go see each other and take lovey dovey pictures together). Bridal party will be joining us and we will take all the obligatory group photos.
4:00 Family photos
Family peeps will meet us inside the venue to go out and take photos around outside.
5:00 Hide and chill
Also known as "buffer-time-in-case-we-run-late-because-we-totally-will." If we aren't running late, take a seat and wait as guests start arriving and get ready for the actual reason we got dressed all fancy.
6:00 LET'S GET HITCHED!!
The ceremony will start at 6:00. Walk down the aisle, stand in front of all the people (totally not awkwardly... this is absolutely natural... we do this everyday, right?) while we say nice things about one another then march back inside (WE'LL BE OFFICIALLY MARRIED THEN!!).
6:45 ish Cocktail and appetizer time!
Catering will move all the chairs inside while people enjoy cocktails and appetizers in the courtyard. Hopefully it won't be an HOUR, but that's what is planned for. Go eat some yummies. We'll assign someone to bring us some tasty things, too.
7:30 ish Dinner
Everyone comes in, sits down, and enjoys a good buffet. At some point there's toasts and cake.
8:30 ish Dancing!
If you need me to explain this, why were you invited?
9:45 Bye, bitches!
Peace out! Take some photos as we roll out. You do what you want, at this point. We won't care. Maybe help pick up? IDK. We're gone and so are the photographers. We'll see you Friday at the present opening (1:00 at the Olson residence: 20310 SW Tremont Way, Aloha, OR 97007).
