What does the date Saturday August 23rd, 2008 mean to you...?
Well for us...it means "Happy Wedding day"
Ready...Set...GO!!!
Invitations have been selected and will be ordered this week...(we think)
The location is AWESOME. The Loft at the Red Building is a fantastic and beautiful spot right on the Columbia River, overlooking the Astoria-Megler Bridge. It is directly next door to the Cannery Pier Hotel and very conveniently located to Seaside, Warrenton, Gearhart, Long Beach and Ilwaco. Perfect for all of our family and friends coming from out of town as it is closer for most than coming all the way to Portland.
Now, because we have heard some questions from some of you about"What were we thinking" when we booked that particular location and date..I have some responses to those FAQ's
For all who are wondering...yes, we KNOW it is Hood to Coast Weekend at the beach...Yes, we know it is the Long Beach Kite Festival....Yes we KNOW it is going to be a scramble to get rooms...we know...but we have good reason for picking this date. (you will just have to trust us on this one, and we will be happy to explain it in person anytime)
We also know you love us and wouldn't want to miss our special day so...right??
So, we are collecting all of the open rooms we can find at local hotels and reserving in advance as many as they will let us. In many cases, we are being limited to the number of rooms we are allowed to hold without paying a "guarantee fee", but in those cases, if our block of rooms gets reserved, just let them know you are coming for the "Rider-Ryan Wedding" and they will give you the group rate.
We will be sending out the info for Hotel / Motel booking with the invitations, but I will be uploading info here for other options such as Campgrounds, Bed and Breakfasts, as well as hopefully keeping track of anyone that would like to go in together on a suite or a house...
We love you all and can't wait to celebrate with you...we look forward to keeping everyone in the loop at least weekly on this site so please sign up for our updates or sign up to our feed and enjoy the journey with us.
Here is the info on the Loft, as well as some pics of the day we went to look at it with Jaylins folks and the Kids...
