The rehearsal is Friday, August 27th at 5:00pm at the castle.  Please be there at the starting time.  We will go to dinner together afterwards.

bullet

Right after the ceremony we will take pictures with the men and family members, while other guests tour the castle and sample appetizers.  You will be free to join the rest of the guests after the photographs are complete.

bullet

Enjoy the party.  I would like this to be a special day in many ways, and throwing a party for my close friends (and myself) isn't something I plan to do often.  Please take advantage of the services and entertainment offered, if they interest you.  If it's offered, it's already in the budget, so enjoy!
