Published here mainly for conveinence, but also because I sort of think it would be cool if some random pseudo-anonymous internet friends would pick something up for us, too

We have 3 wedding registries

Amazon.Com Wedding Registry

Target.Com Wedding Registry

Macys.Com Wedding Registry

We also like giftcards - be they from Amazon, Microcenter, or ThinkGeek

Instead of doing a ‘guest book’ like in the usual tradition, we decided to go with a newer trend - the ’signature plate’. A signature plate is just what it sounds like, instead of a book they sign a plate with a special pen. You then bake the plate and voila, it’s permanent.

So I went poking around Etsy, one of the greatest craft sites out there, and stumbled onto Serendipity Crafts. We liked their designs, but wanted something a little more ‘us’ so we contacted them. A few (amazingly quick) responses and a day later and bam, they had a mockup for us. They had 2, we picked one and there you go.

And it’s bloody perfect - it fits the colors of the wedding, the geek factor, and everything else - wanna see it? Well here ya go (Click to make it larger):

Signature Plate

Just so you can save the date, it will be held on October 24th, 2008 - that’s 2^10 for anyone interested¹. We’ve just confirmed and contracts are being drawn up for both the wedding and reception to be held at the Elements Cafe area of the Science Museum of Minnesota. We’ve got the band and the food lined up.

It’s coming together - albeit pricey, but I demand an open tap!²

1. And why I chose that date, swear to God [↩]
2. Complete open bar was… way to friggin pricey! [↩]

Here’s an early shot of the ring I got her. The quality isn’t so great, as it was early in the morning the day after - but it is what it is. I’ll take some more shots when it comes back tomorrow from being sized.

Also, this marks a momentous occasion, I’ve added a new category called ‘Wedding‘. Something I’ve never done in the 10 or so years I’ve been keeping a blog. Wow. Go me.
