One year down...

A question I got often after the wedding was: "So how does it feel to be married?". My usual answer: "I don't know."

And its true. I started feeling married the first time I committed to myself to be with this person. Yes, there were things that I held on to, but even some married people I know still have their own apartments, their own bank accounts, etc.

The things that changed after the wedding: I no longer had the anxiety that one day the whole thing would be over, randomly and out of the blue. And I felt more comfortable talking to my husband about anything because I knew he was now stuck with me! But those two things feel natural like walking or breathing now. Even my wedding ring feels like its always been there.

So after the first year, how does it feel like to be married?

I don't know.

We're Married

Wedding's done! Off to honeymoon! Thanks to everyone for sharing our special day with us.

Engagement Photos

Our wonder photographer, Madeleine Tilin has posted our engagement photos online for everyone to view. We had a great time during the photo shoot and are really looking forward to seeing what she can do with the wedding.

Oh, and we've linked to the photos from genandkeith.com if you forget the link.

Parking

Because the question has been asked, I thought I'd post a bit on the parking situation for the Ceremony and Reception.

There are two garages around Jessie Square Park.

Jessie Square Garage
415.978.9634
223 Stevenson Street.
(take a left off of Third Street onto Stevenson Street)

Fifth & Mission Yerba Buena Garage
415.982.8522 x18
833 Mission Street
(between Fourth & Fifth streets)

Each will be about 3.50 for 1 hour and 7.00 for two hours of parking.

For Foreign Cinema we recommend going for the Valet Parking. It is 10.00 for the whole evening (which is a steal in San Francisco, I swear!)

There is street parking around Foreign Cinema, if you want to take your chances.

We suggest taking Public Transporation. Jessie Square Park it 2 Blocks from the Powell Street Bart/Muni Station. There will be shuttles that take you to Foreign Cinema. Bart runs until Midnight. Bart is 1.50 and Muni is 2.00 each way.

Cabs are also another option. It is about 15.00 to take four people from Foreign Cinema to the Hotel Americania.

Email rsvp@genandkeith.com if there are any other transportation questions.

We're going to have a Honeymoon

It's official. I just bought plane tickets and everything. I'm not sure where we're going to stay yet, but I definitely know we're out of the country for 2 weeks and not going to make Scotchtoberfest.

And I'm going to get to see monkeys. Yay!

Hotel

I've heard that some of y'all have been having issues getting rooms, so here is the direct line to the reservations dept. Let them know you are coming for the May-Montt/Peters Wedding and they will let you reserve a room (or two).

The in-house reservations department number is 415.252.2619. Or you can call Jami Holland in the Sales Departement, at 415-252-2613.

Yay! STD!

Today after much delay, the Save the Date Cards finally arrived. It is now in print. Keith and I will be getting Married on October 23, 2009 in San Francisco.

Getting the cards means that we have to deal with the guest list. Which will be a chore.

While I would love to invite everyone we've ever met in our whole lives to our wedding, due to space restrictions, we can only have 70 people. Technically its 72 but Keith and I are those extra two, 'cause we really can't have our wedding without us. To futher complicate things, part of the wedding celebration will be at a bar, so we'll have to restrict the guest list to those over the age of 21. The idea has been floated to have family friendly "wedding showers" in LA, SF and NY so as to have everyone and anyone come celebrate with us, but its not been planned out so I don't know if that will happen at this point. So if anyone wants to arrage this, let me know, and you can be the offical wedding shower coordinator.

The STD cards themselves look amazing. Thanks Ma! Now I just have to figure out what to do with the 930 extra cards. The printer wouldn't do anything less than 1000.
