Have fun if you make it out, sounds like it's normally a great time! Hopefully those of us who can't make it will get lots of pictures to drool over

Well as much as I would like to be there it is looking like I won't be able to make it. My brothers wedding is close to DC but I am flying in to Baltimore and in order to be as frugal as possible I'll be bumming around in the car my parents are renting for the occasion so I don't think i can make it. Besides Saturday is the only day I will be around and the wedding is at 11 am with a luncheon shortly following and a reception that evening from 7-9. Being 1 hours travel away means I don't think I can make it.

Sorry guys I really would have liked to have met some of you in person.

Hey Will,

I totally understand, and I was looking forward to meeting as many people from here, but maybe next year

I'll be there Saturday but unfortunately can't stay for the dinner/auction. It'll be nice to see everyone again.
