Menu Information, and a time clarification
I can't believe the wedding is now less than a month away - time really has flown! We have a few points of information and/or clarification.
We are planning a plated dinner reception for the wedding. The entree will be chicken breast stuffed with proscuitto, spinach, and smoked gouda, with provencal sauce.
If you are allergic to any of these things or just don't eat them (or would prefer not to) please let either Jamie or Sarah know, and we'll make sure that the vegetarian alternative is ordered for you. Thanks!
Also, for some reason, our wedding website through theknot.com had the ceremony time listed as 12:00 pm. This is incorrect (and has been corrected) - the ceremony is at 6:30 pm. We are looking forward to having all of you at both the ceremony and the reception.

Good nature in Atlanta
Atlanta is a fairly green city, with lots of trees and parks. But there is also good nature to be found not far outside the city. Jamie and I enjoy going for a hike at Kennesaw Mountain - it's a national park with lots of trails. Here's a view of Atlanta from the mountain.
A little bit further outside of the city, there's also Stone Mountain - famous for its carving of confederate military leaders. You can hike up the mountain for an incredible view of Atlanta. There's lots of other activities too. The gift shop does contain memorabilia with confederate flags - don't say we didn't warn you.

Some information about Atlanta
We thought a little information about Atlanta would be helpful for the out-of-town folks. Jamie and I are both quite fond of our adopted hometown - there is a lot to do here, especially for foodies and history buffs. If you scroll down, you can find information about our "wedding map" on weddingmapper.com. Here are a few other tidbits:
Getting around: A car is the easiest way to get around Atlanta. This is a driving town, which means that parking is ample in most places. If you prefer to use public transportation (MARTA) taking it from the hotel to most points of interest will involve a bus (or two) and the train. There is also a shuttle from the airport to the hotel ($25 one-way, $45 round-trip).
Where to stay: The Emory Conference Center Hotel, where the wedding will be, has a special rate for our guests. We included information about how to reserve rooms there with the invitations. There are some other hotels in the area - the Hampton Inn and the Doubletree. You could also stay in Midtown (where we live) - there is Hotel Midtown, a Four Seasons, and Regency Suites.
For the kids: Atlanta is well-known for its Aquarium and the Center for Pupperty Arts. There is also a children's museum downtown. Jamie and I are big fans of the Fernbank Museum - there is an enormous dinosaur skeleton in the foyer and an IMAX theater. Finally, the Botanical Gardens have a wonderful children's area.
You may want to consider purchasing a city pass if you're planning on hitting a lot of attractions.

We were such cute kids - what happened?
Jamie and I have been collecting baby pictures so that we can put together a slideshow for our rehearsal dinner. I got the idea at the memorial service for Jamie's maternal grandmother, who passed away last June. Meghann (Jamie's sister) and Colleen (Jamie's cousin) put together a lovely slideshow with pictures of their grandmother - she was much beloved and the slideshow was a wonderful tribute.
I thought something similar with our baby and childhood pictures would be fun to do for the rehearsal dinner. Some embarrassing pictures are sure to be included. Here's a few that will probably make the cut:
I just have to point out how adorably edible my little sister is in this picture (she's on the far right, if it isn't obvious).
And here I am wearing mom jeans at the tender age of 15. What were we thinking in the 90s?
As soon as I saw this picture, I knew this man would one day be my husband:
