Wedding Wednesday & Weather

Since Octoberish French and I have observed 'Wedding Wednesdays' where we discuss and plan all the things that got us to this week. We didn't bat 1000 but not everybody does.

So here we are, "the deep breath before the plunge." French is tasking in the background, I'm sending final orders from carts through the cloud get picked up. There is an excited calm in the house and I can feel the weight of tasks melt with each final checkmark.

The weather is really the last remaining wildcard and here's what I have to say about it...

We're practicing radical acceptance of whatever the day brings.

We have tents for coverage from blazing sun to an aggressive downpour. If the heat overwhelms or the AQI chokes your laughter, head inside where it will be cool. We're a go for love, no matter the weather.

We can't wait to see you all, celebrate this milestone, share some laughs and make a new memory.

Parking



The big day is Saturday and we're really excited! (cue hairband.)

I wanted to get this parking post out so it's top of feed. If it's been unclear, all the events are at our home.

7745 Cahill Avenue, Inver Grove Heights MN 55076

You may park on the EVEN side of Cahill from about Cub Foods to Shepherd of the Valley Lutheran Church and there is sidewalk on that side of the street too.*

We'll have signage/markers out at the curb so you know where the place is... Our house is not visible from the street and you'll have about 120 yard amble down our class-five gravel driveway (weird flex but I'll go with it) to the festivities. 

If all other orienteering and technology fails: Follow the gravel driveway between the red truck and the red mailbox down the hill to the party.

Also, just a thought... there will be beers, bubbles, and likely some brown so maybe just Uber or Lyft?

*When you see the road you may question me and these directions. And I get it but I have confirmed with local authorities (like in the police station, face to face.) parking along the curb at our blocks of Cahill Avenue is perfectly fine providing:

  • there are no parked cars between the hours of 11PM-4AM.
  • no driveways or mailboxes are blocked.
  • cars are less than 12 inches from the curb.
