The Line On No Line On the Horizon

So alas, we just heard from the band today-- turns out they can't play our wedding after all. Seems Bono hurt his back practicing our entrance music (a very complex piece involving harmonica and multiple trampolines), and now needs an eight week rest to recuperate. We're checking to see if the White Stripes are available instead.

Gift Ideas

Some of you have asked if we're registered anywhere. We are not (unless you count the Arizona Bureau of Immigration). We decided instead to post a few ideas for things we like or need, for guidance, if desired. Having you come celebrate with us is the best gift of all.

1. We're pretty well stocked with kitchen utensils, etc., but are planning a big kitchen remodel in the next year or so. The kitchen remodel fund is one gift idea. (IKEA may help, in this respect.)

2. REI's a safe bet. We definitely do our part to keep them in business.

3. Likewise, Home Depot and such always come in handy. We also dig Swanson's Nursery. We'll make use of gift cards, if that special something doesn't grab you.

4. Wine. Can never have too much wine.

5. The Honeymoon Fund. Sure, that would help! We're planning to take our bird-itis and other forms of natural wonder to the Galapagos Islands.

6. Things to do with the natural world or travel.

7. Cualquier otra cosa que quieran! Surprises are wonderful.

Coming?

We did not provide paper RSVP's in the interest of conserving natural resources. Be modern. Be trendy. Be hip! Please use zelaya.craft@yahoo.com to RSVP!

Gracias!

The Invitation

Our invitation was designed by Carmen and engineered in photoshop by Paisley. Carmen hand assembled all the elements, and Kevin carefully stuffed the envelopes and addressed them.

You really can plant the invitation: the paper is seeded with wildflowers. But make sure you write down the date, first. Chirp chirp!

Bird-itis

We love birds. As my 8 year old niece Haley says, we definitely have bird-itis. So part of our wedding will take place in the Tropical Bird House at the Woodland Park Zoo. And we chose these beautiful stamps for our invitations to support the Smithsonian scientists involved with the Kirtland’s Warbler Research and Training Project.

They are studying the bird’s little known habits on the wintering grounds of Eleuthera (in the Bahamas) in order to promote conservation efforts. They are also involved in the training of and outreach to Bahamian students. The project is helping to train and educate local biologists to protect the Bahamas’ birds and other biodiversity over the long term. Visit http://nationalzoo.si.edu/ for more information.

Purchasing these stamps supports the efforts to save the Kirtland warbler and other birds that depend on conservation of habitat in the Carribean for survival.

Holy Cow, It's Happening!

After nearly five years, Kevin and Carmen are getting married!

Cedar Fronds

Bike ride through Carkeek Park yesterday, where I harvested a few cedar fronds to stitch into the invitations. No trees were injured in the making of this wedding!
