What to Wear
So, are you worried about what garb to don for our upcoming nuptials? Do you wake up in cold sweats, afraid you'll be the only one in a cumber-bun and bow-tie? Let me ease your fears!
For the wedding and the fiesta we encourage you to dress up, but also to be comfortable. We know most people are dressing up for these events (dresses, suits or slacks & dress shirt, etc). The fiesta on Friday will take place in the afternoon, and will certainly offer warmer temperatures than the wedding itself.
The wedding will run from 3 PM to about 10:30/11 PM, so keep that in mind when choosing your attire. Ladies are encouraged to bring sweaters, jackets or warm wraps. We'll have heaters, and you'll be dancing (of course), so that should keep you toasty!
For the whole week: Keep in mind that mornings and nights are chilly, so bring layers and you'll be just fine!

Holy Cow
Wow! We passed the four week marker to the wedding last Saturday, which means most of us are leaving for Mexico in just 3 weeks! Everyone seems to be getting very excited, and Will and I are positively bubbling over these days.
A lot of people have been asking me about the weather. I've found that MSN has the most comprehensive information. You can check daily November averages here, and you can check the current ten-day forecast here.
Right now the weather seems to be above average for October, which isn't surprising since we're experiencing that in the states right now too. Last year when Will and I visited in November the temperatures were lower than average due to a tropical storm that was battering the Mexican coasts. Hopefully we won't have to deal with something like that this year!
When we were in the area Will was comfortable in shorts or jeans, and I generally wore skirts or dresses during the day. We brought sweaters or jackets to layer on during the chilly mornings and evenings. Our temperatures, if they are normal, should reach 75 during the day and gradually drop to about 50 at night.

Hiatus?
Sorry we've been so quiet lately! We're in planning limbo right now- a period of relative calm before the invitations go out and we start to get a headcount. Until then we've planned about as much as we can. Now we get to sit back and enjoy the summer.
In the meantime we started our registries! It was hard for us at first- we've been living together for 3 years now (holy cow!)and so we have a lot of our standard household items. In light of this please forgive our eclectic and fanciful registry.
For those of you coming to the wedding: your presence will be a gift in itself. Tread lightly in the registry and give only if you are utterly compelled to.
For those of you who can't make the admittedly long haul to Mexico: my mother has insisted on a stateside fete, which will probably be held in the spring of 2011. Hurrah!

A Weekend in San Miguel
The New York Times recently did one of their 36 hour pieces on San Miguel de Allende. They offer fabulous advice about touring around San Miguel, where to eat and even a couple of hotel suggestions. Definitely check it out if you think you'd like to stay in the closest city to the wedding!
There's also an even older article on San Miguel from the Times, and as far as I can tell it's content is still relevant today. San Miguel is one of those rare cities that changes very little over time.

Save the Date!
As most of you now know, we have sent out our Save the Date cards! I've heard from many of the invitees, and I expect/hope that many of you are finding your way here now.
I've done my best to put together some useful information for your trip, and if you want to start planning (and many of you seem like you do) I think it's best to refer you to the post that I did on traveling to and in Mexico. You should find everything you're looking for there, including information on which airport to fly into, which airlines go there, and alternate routes.
Flying into Mexico City is cheaper and gives you the chance to take a direct flight- but it will take four hours to get to the hacienda locale from there. A good option if you want to fly to Mexico City is to take an express bus, they're amazingly affordable and also discussed in the post I linked above.
If you have any questions that I don't seem to cover please leave a comment here and I will address them as soon as I can!
We're so excited!
