Entry 21: The Tux

Well here is the moment you have all been waiting for: Lance's Tux. Enjoy the picture below.

Entry 20: A Day In The Life Of Maggie (our dog)

Today we decided to take a break from wedding planning and refocus on the other member of our family, our dog Maggie. As you can see from the picture above, Maggie was really stanky and got a bath. Below you will see what the end result was. Prior to the bath, we decided to take Maggie for a walk. While we were walking her a couple commented on how well behaved Maggie was. That's right Maggie was actually complimented on how well she behaved (this was when dogs were barking at her and she acted like she didn't care). Some dogs (like Julie's sister and brother in laws dog Coco) would be chasing squirrels and other dogs causing mass mayhem, but luckily our dog is secure in her own identity and doesn't need to chase animals. There have been some nasty rumors going on that our dog is undisciplined and unruly, but please check the video below and you will see how a real dog acts.

Entry 19: The Tuxes Are Ordered

Well Lance finally got off his derriere and ordered his tux today. His is a black tux with an ivory vest and ivory tie. It looks very nice and you will see pictures soon. The groomsmen now have their tuxes waiting for them also. It is the same black tux, except instead of ivory they have a periwinkle vest and periwinkle tie. It is a pretty snazzy combination. Like I said pictures will be coming soon.

Entry 18: New Blog Features

Some of you may have noticed that we added some new features to the blog to make it easier for everyone to find things. If you look on the right hand side you will see that we added the hotels that we have blocked rooms off in and their websites that can show you what each one looks like and gives the phone numbers of each. We also have on the right hand side a link to the places we are registered at and when you click on them it will take you straight to the things that we have registered for. Last, but certainly not least, are some blogs that we have been reading lately. They are all friends of ours and they are interesting blogs. This blog has been quite an interesting experience for us both and we hope you find it informative and entertaining.

Entry 17: Hotel Accomodations - Holiday Inn At The Plaza

Some of you have said that you would like to stay down on the Plaza so you could do some shopping when you are here for the wedding. Well unfortunately many of the hotels down on the Plaza will not let you block off rooms, but we did find the next best option, the Holiday Inn At The Plaza. They do not block rooms, but they do give a special rate of $109 as long as you give them 30 days notice. All you will need to do is call 816-753-7400 and ask for "the wedding rate". Remember though that you must do this 30 days in advance. The amenities are very nice there and they do have a shuttle bus to the Plaza. The link to the website is below.

Entry 16: Hotel Accomodations - Holiday Inn Express (Liberty)

Today Julie and I also blocked off some rooms at the Holiday Inn - Express in Kansas City (again technically only 30 seconds from Liberty) and right next door to the Comfort Suites. Believe it or not the amenities are exactly the same, it is still only 2 miles from the Wynbrick, and the price is $109 for a room with 2 beds. The cut off date on these rooms is June 5th and after that the rooms go back to $119.95. The phone number to the Holiday Inn Express is 816-781-5555 and just say that you are wanting the rooms blocked off for the Huebner/Bruder wedding. The website is also listed below if you would like to take a look.

Entry 15: Hotels Accomodations - Comfort Suites

Yesterday we blocked off a set of rooms at the Comfort Suites in Kansas City (technically it is 30 seconds from Liberty, but who are we to complain). We have blocked of 29 rooms here. 15 of them have double queen beds and 14 rooms have a king bed with a sleeper. This hotel has a indoor pool, hot tub, exercise room, refrigerator and coffee maker in every room, and a free continental breakfast with a hot item included. We have a group rate for the wedding the double queens are $119a night and the king is $109 a night. When you call to make reservations ask for the Bruder/Huebner rate and you will need to reserve your rooms by May 20, 2008 to ensure that you get the group rate (otherwise you will be paying $20 more a night). We have the rooms blocked off for Friday (June 20th) and Saturday (June 21st). You can check in after 3:00 p.m. and the checkout time is 11:00 a.m. We will also be blocking off 30 rooms at the Holiday Inn Express which is right next door to the Comfort Suites ( a 30 second walk). Both hotels are a mile and a half from the Wynbrick (our wedding site) and have lots of eating options available. The number for the Comfort Suites is 816-781-7273 and you can check out the website that shows the hotel and gives directions there on the link below.
