Happy 2 Year Anniversary
2 years ago, Carrie and I got married. Adam did such an awesome job putting together a fun summary video for us.
I’ve been meaning, for some time, to get it live on our site.
Our anniversary seemed like a perfect time to get it up, so I’m putting this live on the site.
(If you were at the wedding, you’re possibly in this video – and if you weren’t there, you can see how much fun we had.)
Enjoy!

The French are in the dark – literally and conceptually
When Jonathan returned from LA, he was really excited to take me to a few things in London. He learned about the cheese market at Borough Market (where we’re going tomorrow), and this restaurant he wanted to go to. Almost the first thing that Jonathan did was make reservations for this restaurant.
He wanted it to be a surprise. Was it ever! The ambiance of the restaurant was incredible. Words cannot describe what it was like in there. So, we took a picure of what the inside looks like (we’re not supposed to, so don’t tell anyone).
Click here to see it.
Seriously, that is exactly what it was like. Click to read more about it… (WARNING: if you want to go to this restaurant, what follows does contain spoilers.)
Both Carrie and Jonathan recommend that if you’re ever in Paris or London that you give this a try. It’s amazing what you learn about others, and (more importantly) about yourself.

First Few Days of the Honeymoon
Once again, we want to thank all of you for helping to make our wedding so special, either by your attendance, or by all the things you did to make our wedding just perfect. Thank-you so much!
So… All of our wedding pictures are online. There is a fun slideshow (put together by Tom) at http://www.tomkphoto.com/0709cjk/slideshow/ and the gallery of photos is available at http://www.tomkphoto.com/0709cjk/gallery/.
Our first couple of days in London have been fabulous. We have an awesome flat where we are staying near the South Kensington underground (tube, subway, etc.) station. Thanks so much Dan and Jane! This place rocks.
So far we have seen: Buckingham Palace, where the Queen lives; Big Ben and the houses of Parliment; Westminster Abbey; Picadilly Circus (not really a circus, it’s the Times Square of London); “The Merchant of Venice” performed in The Globe Theatre (awesome); Trafalgar Square; Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens; Kensington Palace (Princess Diana’s favorite home); and St. Paul’s Cathedral (amazing – the main church of the Church of England).
That’s a “quick” run down of what we’ve seen so far. We’ll post detailed thoughts and feelings on some of these places when we do a more detailed post. Here are a few picture highlights (clicking on the smaller pictures will show you the larger version)

Wedding Professional Pictures
We had a wonderful wedding. We were so happy to get to see everyone who came from all over the country and the world. We wish we could have spent more time with all of you. We feel very blessed to have you in our lives.
Our professional pictures will be available online on Wednesday, October 3, 2007. Here’s the web address where they will be posted. When we return, we will have a CD with all of the pictures on it so that we can print them for ourselves and others. You can order them through Tom’s site, or you can wait for us to come back and print some off for you.
Thank you again, we love you, and we’ll see you soon!

Hotel in Colorado Springs
People have been asking where to stay in Colorado Springs. Jonathan and I did look into blocking rooms at hotels, but it was generally more expensive for guests than if they went and reserved rooms themselves. So, we decided to set up this link instead. Book at the Embassy Suites in Colorado Springs.
7290 Commerce Center Dr, Colorado Springs, Colorado, United States 80919
Tel: 1-719-599-9100 Fax: 1-719-599-4644
This is the hotel where we will be staying, and most of our guests will be staying here as well. It won’t cost you any more to stay here, but Jonathan and I will get 2% back of whatever your room rate is by booking through the above link. If you want to though, you can also check at www.embassysuites.com to see if the rate is different.
Here are a couple of other available hotels as well.
Bradford Homesuites Colorado Springs
(Carrie and Jonathan stayed here in March 2007, and thought that these suites were very nice – about 5 miles away from the church).
Antlers Hilton
(In downtown Colorado Springs – closer to where we’re getting married – also more expensive)
Best Western on Academy
Hope this helps everyone, and we look forward to seeing you at the wedding!

Name Changing
While thinking about whether or not to change my name after we get married, the idea of hyphenating came up. Around that same time, I received an email with the following examples of when to avoid hyphenating your name. Here they are.
and my own personal favorite:

My Ring is Ready
After working with Michelle at Biondi for months designing and honing my ring for months, she finally called with the news I’ve been waiting for. It’s ready! Jonathan and I went to take a look at it today. Michelle took pictures of us seeing it for the first time. It’s absolutely gorgeous, and I can’t wait to wear it (in less than two months now). I love it. Thank you Michelle and all teh Biondi team!
Sorry, you’ll have to wait until the wedding to see what the ring looks like.
