Damage control and organization

I found out today that the track meet in town the day of the wedding isn't any small track meet. It's the US Track & Field's National Championships (and junior championships). Ack. Add to that info that the reception hall is only a mile away.

We knew it was an event, but we didn't realize the magnitude. And, it's on campus, so we will not be able to take pictures at our grad school like we wanted (unless we hop away from the reception for a moment, which we're thinking of doing).

So damage control was done today: email, facebook message, or phone call has been placed (or scheduled to be placed) to every single person who has not yet RSVP'd or has RSVP'd yes. The message had detailed "reserve hotel asap" info and "refer to wedding website for recommended routes and places to avoid." So here's hoping it all works out.

Additional email sent out this morning about hall prep. If the reception hall books on Friday, then we can't set up the reception hall on Friday and will be forced to do it Saturday morning. Obviously, we will need helpers for this so to not lose our minds. SO an email went out to a ton of friends today so B and I can hopefully develop a "emergency hall prep contact list" of people in case the hall books.

Whew!
