Notes on Attire- Or what is comfortable yet festive?

So, what to wear? what to wear!?

I'm wearing a white (ish) dress. Don't laugh. Bob is wearing a suit of some kind, and a cowboy hat! To me, the whole day is about being yourself and having fun, so I don't want anyone to wear uncomfortable outfits that they don't like. You will find no tuxes or weird matchy-matchy bridesmaids dresses...unless that is your thing, then go for it! Most likely it will be warm to hot, summer day. We will definitely be outdoors a lot. Wear something light and wear smart shoes. Ladies, that means flats. Gentlemen, you don't HAVE to wear a tie.

Viking hats are optional, but pretty much always a good idea.

Accomodations

I am so glad that so many are joining us from out of town. I have some suggestions for you for hotels....

The Holiday Inn is the ol' dependable- where ever you go, it's the same. This one has a pool, and a workout room. It is about 15 miles away, but the drive is easy from the hotel to the farm. I got a discount for reserving 10 rooms for thursday, friday and saturday. I need to finalize the reservations by AUGUST 13th, so let me know if you would like a room. They are $110 a night. If that is too pricey, I am happy to arrange room-sharing. I was trying to find the mid-range, non-roachy, meet everyone's needs kind of place.
