Justin and Amber

So, it took 3 months, but I’ve finally gotten all the photos I know of from the wedding online. There’s close to 6000 at the moment, and I’m still betting there are more out there. I have updated the navigation at the top to include a link to the photos section, as well as updated a few other portions of this site.

If you are one of the many people who had a camera at our wedding, and you wouldn’t mind spending a little bit of time uploading all your photos to our online gallery, please contact me (justin@jrcorps.com) and let me know. I’ll send you back the very simple instructions on how to do it.

And if you’re looking for prints, or to download the photos, you can do so right from the gallery. Simply click the buy button at the top of whatever gallery you are looking at.

And for those of you who are wondering… Yes, we have surrived the first 3 months of marriage, and to be honest, it was rather painless. I haven’t spent all my time in front of the computer, and she hasn’t spent all her time at work, so that’s good. We just picked up our first christmas tree last night. Fun stuff… Now to decorate it with lots and lots of Star Trek ornaments.

Hey all of you wonderful people who either attended our wedding, or followed it with great anticipation! Thank you all for your support and help…

Well we’ve started collecting photos from friends and family. If you have any you would like to share, PLEASE email justin (justin@jrcorps.com) and he will send you the instructions on how and where you can upload them.

If you didn’t take any pictures, or you just want to browse the growing collection, go ahead and click here.

There are also some pictures from our honeymoon.

Over 3000 pictures were taken by our photographer. We’ll post them as soon as we get them (probably about 2 more weeks). We also have some video footage (some of which can be found in the photo galleries.)

More on multimedia and how this site will look long term in the coming weeks.

Again thank you all for your support!

So what good is a wedding blog to our guests and family if we don’t update it? Well… Not much…

So here I am giving you an update on why there have been so few updates… It goes like this: “We’re getting married this Saturday.”

See the one thing you really dont realize going into the month prior to the wedding is exactly how much work is left on the table… Let me give you the quick run down of events and time consuming things you probably didn’t factor into your already busy lifestyle (I know I didn’t, very well at least):

• Showers and Bachelor/Bachelorette Parties - These events take planning, just like the wedding does. There are invites, gifts, favors, food, and location to deal with. Depending on how many your planning on having, this portion can be as much, if not more work, than the wedding itself. On the upside, bridesmaids/groomsmen generally do a good portion of the planning, which helps a lot. This is where I say a special thank you to Nikki, Ashley, Amy, and Richard for all the hard work they put in (sorry if I forgot anyone, but I think those were the people in charge of various events)
• Dance Lessons - These take time people! And most people wait until the month (or 2) before to do them. Worth having though if you plan on dancing.
• Rehearsal Dinner - This one is hard to miss, but it really does eat up a large chunk of time. Like the showers, the time isn’t so much the event itself, but the planning. Again, the groom’s parents generally are in charge of this, so you can get some help here. (Thanks mom and dad)
• Shopping - Shopping? For a Wedding? Yep! Things that you have to purchase (or rent) prior to the wedding include: Clothes (both rehersal and wedding outfits/dresses/tuxes), Gifts (for wedding party), Stuff (for honeymoon), Toys (anything you want to get before you marry your signigficant other that you don’t think they’ll let you get), Stuff (anything you need for your new home that you don’t think you’ll get for your weddig).
• Moving - Assuming your not already living with your significant other… Moving takes time, and some planning to, if your like me and need to work.
• Work - Just realize you still have to work during all this (most likely)

So that’s just a short list of the chaos that is going on in my world at the moment.

In other news, I look forward to seeing you all in just 4 days!
