what to wear

We've been brainstorming about our wedding day attire. We'd like to do something different than the usual white dress/black tux outfits.

So here's what we envision: I'll wear a white tux and LL will wear a little black dress.

Wedding festival 2006

our wedding date is tentatively scheduled for Saturday July 15th.

....we're still waiting to nail down the exact site for our reception.

LL suggested that we have a few days of activities planned, since some of our guests live out of town and may be here for a few days....some ideas we're tossing around:

...roller skating at Chez Vous

...visit to Walden Pond or Boston Harbor Islands

...go bowling / shoot pool

... brunch at our house on Sunday
