Here she comes!

Leaving on a plane in the morning...Sara is heading back to the homeland of MN.
Mike gets on a plane Weds morning.

Fun times.

Maps...Maps...Maps...

Let us know at saraaugi@gmail.com or mcnorseng@gmail.com if you want pdfs giving directions to the venue, etc.  We were going to have them as downloadable attachments...but honestly we can't figure it out on this site.

Go Michael Phelps!

6 days away to wedding.  So excited to see everyone.

(here is an update from the mother of the groom.)

Sara and Mike lightning round

We have had a lot of individual e-mail questions this week from people...
Making up for last nights missing blog post we are going to take the opportunity to answer a few questions and reply to a few comments.

-----------------------------------------

"IS THERE A DRESS CODE?"

-No.  Sara is going to be wearing a re inspired version of her grandmother, Elda Augusine's, wedding dress from the late '20s, early '30s.  It is vintage lace and if you are feeling festive, we love to see a few 20s/30s outfits in the mix. If not, anything from a polo to a suit or from a skort to an evening gown is perfect! Right now, 77 and partly cloudy during the day and 59 at night is the forecast.

"PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE THE MACARENA!"

-A dear friend of ours from Brooklyn, Dave, aka DJ Sorrysosloppy, aka DJ Duck Duck, aka DJ von Baron will be spinning actual records at the wedding.  This is not an ipad playlist, nor cds, but the real deal...actual vinyl   He is going to mix in some hits from all the generations, as well as some obscure surprises.  Special requests will be hard to honor as he only brought about 100 essential lps from his collection.

"IS THERE ANYTHING HAPPENING ON SATURDAY THE DAY AFTER THE WEDDING?"

-We will be visiting where Sara's family is staying in Rice Lake (Currier's Lodge) in the morning, and then heading to visit Mike's family in Chippewa Falls in the afternoon.  If you'd like to stop by either you are more than welcome.  Just let us know at the wedding.  We will post maps in the coming days.

Bacon and booze

Hillsdale is located in Barron County.  Barron County is one of the two remaining "prohibition" counties in the state.  That means it is going to be a dry wedding.  We are so sorry to let you know at this late of a date...

We kid.

We kid.

There will be plenty of wine and beer options.  We feel however that it is worth noting that there will be no liquor served.  So if the hard stuff is your drink of choice, we encourage you to do the celebration Camp Randall-style...tuck a flask in your sock!

[side note:  Barron County also has a ban on dancing.  But that is one rule we shall break.]
