Yesterday, Rebecca and I met with our contact at Gone Wired, Colleen, to talk about details related to our commitment ceremony. Our primary goal was to get the schedule worked out so that we can get started on our invitations. Gone Wired has very graciously offered to close for the day so that we can get everything set up in the morning, do pictures in the afternoon, and have the ceremony and reception in the evening. We also decided to have a rehearsal dinner, more because we want to spend extra time with some of the guests than because we actually need to plan who will stand where.
We talked a little bit about the food and the fact that we want to source as much of it locally as possible (there's no way it will all be MI love because of the time of year and our budget, but we're going to make an effort). Our contact suggested that we talk to some of the community gardens in the area to see what they'll be planting this spring that might be ready in time - brilliant, especially because we have friends that work with the South Lansing Community Development Association and Fork in the Road Diner who would probably know such things.
I also discussed the possibility of having the bundt cakes be . . . not homemade. After all, I only have one bundt pan and so much time in the day, not to mention the fact that the last couple bundt cakes I made cracked while coming out of the pan. Our contact is going to give me the information for their bakery so that I can get a quote.
Overall, it was a productive meeting. Colleen has emphasized over and over that they want to be flexible for us and make the day run as smoothly as possible.
