The Parking Sitch

We're only nine days (nine days!!) away from the wedding. As we're finalize the last million details, we have an important announcement for all our wedding guests. We've mentioned before that the wedding venue has a teeny, tiny, itty, bitty parking lot. I mean, check it out!

So, brilliant, beautiful Saralyn has come up with a great idea! Many of you know each other, so why not carpool to the ceremony? In fact, we'll make it easy. You can carpool from the reception spot, Mrs. K's Tollhouse to the wedding and back to the restaurant for the party! Here's what you need to do:

1. Sign up for the carpool here or call your peeps, 

2. Drop your car off at Mrs. K's Tollhouse satellite parking lot (across from the restaurant), and

3. Give the hostess your contact and vehicle information. 

It is SUPER IMPORTANT that if you park at Mrs. K's before the wedding, that you first stop by the hostess stand or call them (301) 589-3500 and let them know which car is yours. Otherwise, your car will be TOWED! 

If you have any questions, just email Saralyn or Sam. 

Much love and see y'all soon,

Saralyn & Sami

32 Days and Counting!

We're thrilled that the wedding is just 32 days away! As we make our final preparations, like ordering table decorations, booking honeymoon outings, and writing our vows, we wanted say that we're so excited to see you all soon. If you haven't sent in your RVSP, please do so ASAP (wow, double acronyms!). We're planning on doing something sweet with the cards, so pop them in the mail. And don't forget, if you have any questions about accommodations, parking, or anything else, give us a shout. And check back on this site often for more updates as the Big Day draws closer!

A Cute Love Story

One day, many, many moons ago, two adorable freshmen stepped onto Baylor University campus. We met during Welcome Week, actually on our second day of college. Walking around campus, we started to get to know each other by asking wholly original questions like “What’s your major?” and “Where are you from?” We quickly discovered we both wanted to attend law school, were interested in politics, and were psyched to be Bears. Before long, we were joined at the hip.

After years of movie nights, grabbing coffee at Common Grounds, student group meetings, and classes together, we slowly but surely realized our friendship had blossomed into love. After a few more meaningful conversations, things became “official” during our senior year. Adding to the fun of our last year at Baylor, we went on dates, planned our law school adventures, and adopted the cutest pugs ever.

Once our tassels had been turned at graduation, we moved to the big city: Washington, DC! Starting law school together was certainly a challenge, and was followed by many other adventures. Some fun, some tough, but we knew that we were in it together. After about a year in DC, we both somewhat secretly started talking to our friends and sisters about engagements rings. On January 19, 2013, Saralyn popped the big question. After some crying and an excited “Yes!” Sami counter-proposed (just like a law student). And the rest, as they say, is history.

Now, after two long years of planning and waiting and looking at floral patterns, we are finally ready to get married! We’re excited to share our story and our big day with you. Keep checking the blog for wedding details and updates.

Love,

Saralyn & Sami

Registry

We are so excited to celebrate our wedding with you! As most of you know, we have lived together for many years, since our senior year at Baylor. Over time, we have built an impressive collection of forks, dishes, pots and pans, and even a swanky toaster (toasts two slices at a time!). 

While celebrating with you is a gift in itself, if you would like to give us a present, please consider contributing to our HoneyFund. This fund will allow us to take a beautiful trip to Ocean City, Maryland. We’d love to kick back on the beach before diving back into work and life. 

If the HoneyFund is not your thing, we are also registered at Anthropologie (search for "Saralyn Salisbury"). We can’t wait to commemorate this special occasion with each of you!

Love,

Saralyn & Sami
