Time and Place
We have a date! And a venue!
As Rob mentioned earlier, our visit to Hendry House last weekend went very well. He talked to Sharon on Monday about available dates, and we sent in our deposit on Tuesday. Since an official confirmation letter arrived in the mail on Saturday, it's safe to announce the official details:
Date: April 29, 2006
Location: Hendry House, Fort C.F. Smith Park, Arlington, Va.
We've rented the house from 3 p.m. to 10 p.m.. Since that time includes set-up and clean-up, we're tentatively assuming that the ceremony will begin around 4:30 p.m., with the reception to start immediately afterward. The ceremony likely will be held outside, on the patio in front of the house, while the reception will take place inside the house and on the large porch.
Our original tentative wedding date — April 8 — coincided with the end of the National Cherry Blossom Festival, so we'd tossed around the idea of going with a cherry blossom "theme" for the wedding. Now that the official date is much later in the month, we've decided to discard that idea and try something entirely different.
More details to come, as we figure them out.

Excellent news. But don't forget the strolling violinists!

Hey! I looked up your wedding blog after reading your comment, and yes, we are the same date! LOL how funny is that. Congrats on setting your date, it all seems a bit more "real" once that's nailed down. :) Too bad now we both are "busy" on each other's wedding dates, but that's kinda cute too!
