message from Cat

Hey guys, I have a kind of special request - I need a lot of pictures of Susan and Rob. I'm looking for pictures of them together and also separately, and family pictures would be good too. Any time period is great, from childhood to the present. Digital pictures are best so that would probably limit it to the later years, but I can always scan actual photos. Thanks so much in advance!! I'd love to get the pictures soon but I understand that we all have stuff going on these days so just send them whenever you get the chance. Thanks!! ~Cat Cat can be contacted at: catherine dot diggins at yahoo dot com

brunch!

All wedding guests, travelers and local, are invited to a catered brunch at the Comfort Inn hotel from 07:00 to 10:00 on Monday, October 12. We hope that it will be a time to gather together once more before you need to leave Albany. Please let us know if you are not staying at the hotel but would like to attend.

RSVP

Our RSVP date is fast approaching... please let us know if you're coming if you haven't already! :)

directions

The one set of directions not included in the insert with the invitation is from the hotel to the church. You can follow the "From the East" directions on the insert, or you can use the link below:

open mic

Inspired by Susan's friend Cara's & her husband Andrew's wedding festivities, and with the desire to share the talents of Suz & Rob's multi-talented friends and family, we decided to add an "open mic" event to the cocktail hour at the beginning of the reception. :)

Our intent is that anyone who wishes to add their own way of celebrating the wedding will have the opportunity. This includes but is not limited to musical performances, story telling, poetry readings, toasts, short skits, etc. Rob & Suz may still be off having their pictures taken at this point, so we hope to have a video camera recording (no pressure, of course!). The DJ is in on this and will help with any necessary microphones, background music, etc.

We are still searching for a video camera and someone to man/woman it, so if you have one and are willing to help us out with that, we would be very grateful!

We understand that an "open mic" may be somewhat out of the ordinary, so please feel free to contact us with any questions. We hope that you will join in! :)

open house

Inspired by Susan's cousin Amy's & her husband Aaron's pre-wedding festivities, and with the desire to share their home with as many out-of-town friends and family members as possible, Rob & Suz invite you all to their home for an Open House the day before the wedding. :)

Saturday, October 10th, 4:00-7:00PM.

There is no method of RSVPing for this on the invitation reply card, and it will be very casual. Feel free to comment to this post, call us, or email us to let us know if you would like to join us. Weather permitting, we may spend time in the backyard with the firepit going.
