Public Service Announcement: For all of you who didn't have the courtesy to respond to our RSVP by the due date, which is today: we didn't like you anyway, and have a nice life.

And here are the replacement flowers! How long will they look like that? How many times can we come back with unhappy faces?

Instead of planning our wedding this long July 4th Weekend, we had a thai-food cook-off at our house. Above is a papaya salad, which is really tasty, much tastier than say, figuring out how to get a wedding license in San Francisco. Who needs that?

As we get closer and closer to W-Day I wanted to remind everyone that we still have plenty of time to eat. Steamed fish seems to be a common trend in our household.

Now that the invitations have gone out, by far the most common question we are getting is:

I can't believe it myself, but we have already received two responses (one was an enthusiastic yes) to our invitations. Remember, I dumped these in the mailbox on Geary street at about noon on Saturday, May 30th. Today is Wednesday, June 3. Incredible service. Anyway, the prizes for first responders have been awarded to two lucky anonymous winners!

A major milestone has been reached. The invitations were sent out to priority "A" guests on Saturday. This means if you have not received an invitation yet, three potential scenarios exist: 1) You are not on the A list, 2) Shoddy mail service to your home, or 3) You think you're better friends with us than we do. I'd recommend to keep checking your mailbox.

Uh oh, looks like there is a major competing event for the August 28-30 weekend. "Outside Lands" is a massive multi-stage concert held at Golden Gate park in San Francisco. It's huge.

This year's headliners are the Beastie Boys, Pearl Jam, Dave Mathew's Band, Incubus, Black Eyed Peas, Thievery Corporation, and MIA, just to name a few. If you're too old to recognize any of those bands, please note that apparently Tom Jones is performing (live), too. (Check out the full lineup on the Outside Lands website.)

Those of you on the fence about attending our wedding have another reason to come to San Francisco.

What this also means for our guests is potentially a large influx of people coming to the City this weekend, which means you should all book your hotel rooms ASAP, or you'll end up in a van down by the river, or worse, the Holiday Inn without free WiFi or continental breakfast.

Finally some progress to update everyone. This is a "Wedding Blog", after all. We can say with pretty good certainty that we have the following items finally picked out, after much research and debate:

• Photographer (Marc & Phoebe of This is iT Photography).
• Musician for the ceremony and cocktail reception
• Floral centerpiece arrangement (this one, oddly enough, was the subject of much debate)
• Invitations (ok, we're close...very close. )
