Welcome to Our Wedding Blog!


Greetings everyone!

Thanks for visiting our blog. Hopefully, it will provide you with useful info about our upcoming nuptials.

With luck, you have all received your invitations and your return cards are now sailing back to us on the wings of Canada Post. (Apologies to those in the US who got their invites a bit late, due to the difficulties of acquiring stamps for the return cards.)

Feel free to leave comments or ask questions on any of the postings here. And thanks to those of you who have already been brave enough to leave comments.

Wedding Date & Details
March 10, 2007

Location: Whitby, Ontario
Tea & Refreshments: at the church, immediately following the ceremony
Ceremony: 2 pm at Christ the King Lutheran Church
Reception: 6 pm at Le Gala Banquet and Conference Centre


Check here again, as this will be a work in progress until we tie the knot.

RSVP and Special Diets

RSVP
Please RSVP by February 5, 2007.

If your return card hasn't gotten into the mail yet, give us a call or an email (jenynussey@yahoo.ca or m.mikeschulz@gmail.com).


Meals

Make a note somewhere on your response card if you need a special meal, e.g., if you are diabetic or if you are a vegetarian, so that we can do our best to feed you something appropriate.

If you need a vegetarian or diabetic meal and you forgot to mention it on your return card, just drop us an email (see the addresses two paragraphs above). Hopefully the bride being a vegetarian will give the veggies an advantage in terms of the quality of the meal!

only be held until February 10, 2007.
