It's been a while since I've posted, and realized I better get my butt on this since folks are making plans and booking trips and hotel rooms and whatnot... Here's the deets so far:
ARRIVALS
Isa & Jayson, and Miko & Bea, are getting into SF on Thurs May 1. I believe everyone else is getting into SF on Friday, May 2.
WEDDING REHEARSAL
The wedding rehearsal shall take place in the back yard of our house in SF on Friday May 2 at 4:00pm. Only the wedding party attendants (bridesmaids, groomsmen, parents of the bride & groom, the officiant, etc) are REQUIRED to be there at that time.
However, all out-of-town relatives who shall already be in SF are more than welcome to come over and hang out at our house in SF if you wish to do so. I know some folks would prefer to go sightseeing in SF, while others would like to see family. It is totally UP TO YOU what you want to do. I only ask that you update either me or Isa, so we know if/when to expect you if you come over. We'll be doing the rehearsal out back, but all non-wedding-party folks can kick it upstairs with Corserdog and a couple of champagne cocktails or something.
REHEARSAL DINNER
We are shooting for a 7pm start time for the rehearsal dinner. We haven't made the actual reservations or chosen a restaurant yet. But as before, all out-of-town relatives are also invited and more than welcome to come to the rehearsal dinner. But hey, no worries if you have other plans to hang out with other friends on Friday, please go ahead and do whatever it is that you want to do!
If you ARE going to come to the rehearsal dinner, please let me/Isa know as soon as you are able to (like within the next couple of weeks), so that we can have an idea of how many people to expect and therefore what type of place we should have the dinner at.
AFTER THE REHEARSAL DINNER...
Ummm... I think Russell and I might call it an early night. But if you want to party with the cousins, there's a bunch of places that Joey & I could recommend that are nearby the Hotel Tomo (either a very short cab ride or within stumbling distance).

With a little help from my friends...
I am so g--d--- relieved to have Norman and Mariluz taking the lead in the event design. They've got this stuff down pat (well, they HAVE been in the party-design business for at least 15 or so years now). Here's their website http://mariluzdesign.com/
They came over with the kiddies Azja, Ava, and Aiden last Friday for pizza, and we went over wedding shizz & did our cake tasting while the kids watched High School Musical 1 & 2. They've got a ton of cool ideas for the centerpieces & design, and we're gonna figure out which items Russell/I can assemble on our own to cut down on costs (probly invite friends over to help). They're gonna decorate our cake too, woo hoo!
They're gonna be the primary coordinator for the day's setting-up-of-things, and will start by dropping off the wedding party flowers at the Hotel around noon. FYI, our photographer Johnny will also start taking the Bridal Party preparation pics around noon (i'll inform you of the day's schedule as we get closer to the date). And while the wedding party is out taking photos, N&M shall be working with our "volunteers" in the assembly/coordination of decorations, and the setting up in the allotted one-hour period prior to the 6pm event start time. Yes, we only get one frickin hour.

The Sigh of Relief... or is it?
Venue? Check.
(But we still need to decide on the beverage/bar arrangement & appetizers, and wait to get the final count when our RSVPs come in)
Officiant? Check.
(But we still need to make appointments to get the licenses & permits, and figure out what we're gonna do for our "ceremony")
Photographer? Check.
(But we now need to plan/map out our photoshoot locations which we travel to prior to the ceremony, and figure out how we're gonna be carting our wedding party around for the shoot)
Videographer? Check.
(This one is easy, since it's in our filmmaker's hands)
Invites? Check.
(We just hope everyone sends theirs in somewhat early, so we can see how many available seats open up, so we can start inviting the "wait-listed" people without them appearing as obviously "wait-listed", if you know what i mean)
DJ? Check.
(Now we gotta put together our "schedule of events" for the night, and choose our requested song list)
Musicians? Check.
(Ditto on the song list)
Cake and centerpieces? Check.
(Now we gotta check in with Norman & Mariluz on the status of everything)
Dresses? Tux rentals? Check.
(But we still need to do the fittings and alterations)
Wow.... and here I thought we were almost done with all this planning stuff. *Sigh*
