Harrods of Knightsbridge (London)

So Katie picked out today's picture. I gave her a list of the pictures that I have but have not yet posted and this was her pick. It immediately reminded her of her time during college when she studied abroad in London. She has always talked about wanting to travel to London with me. 

During her time in London she met some of her best friends, many of which have helped out with the Project and will be attending the wedding. 

This picture was taken by Lisa at Bride and Joy who has contributed several picture to this Project (Dublin, South Africa) and her advice was instrumental in helping get the blog up and running. I will always be appreciative of her efforts. 

As always, let us know if you can help. We would love to have your pictures. If you can help, know someone who can, or just want to say hi, email us at ProjectSaveTheDate@gmail.com

Hello again-

I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend and was blessed with the same great weather that we had here in Raleigh. It was in the mid 60s so Katie and I spent most of the weekend on some hikes with our dog and Katie's parents. It was a great relaxing weekend. We also managed to use Katie's grill for the first time this year with a great marinated chicken breast. Delicious and a great break from winter.

Today's picture comes from Graham and Rachel, two of Katie's family friends. Graham grew up with Katie and her brothers.  This is a picture of the Costa Rican coast and the rain forest.

Thanks again Graham and Rachel.

Three Sisters

Another week in the books. What a week it was too! 

Today's picture comes  again from a friend of Katie's Maid of Honor (Danielle), Josh. He previously sent us pictures from the Sydney Opera House. 

Today's pictures are of the "Three Sisters" which is a rock formation in the Blue Mountains. The Three Sisters are a part of folk. history in Australia. The story says that the three sisters were turned to stone by their father to protect them during a battle. The father was then killed in battle and no one could turn them back . 

Hopefully we will be able to visit there sometime. Thanks for helping Josh and Danielle. 

Enjoy your weekend.

The Largest Aquarium in the World

Most couple's have a list of places to visit and things to do together. Katie and I have always loved museums, outdoor activities and different cultures. That is part of how this Project started. There is so much to experience in  the world. So much of it that we don't even know about. We wanted people to share their experiences, their cities, and their cultures with us. We have not been disappointed.  

One of the places that is on our list, and has been for quite a while, is the Georgia Aquarium. The Georgia Aquarium is the world's larges aquarium and holds over 8.5 million gallons of water, housing over 500 species of animals and between 100,000 and 120,000 fish and other sea creatures.

Pretty remarkable to say the least. Katie and I can't wait to visit, which will hopefully be soon. 

Know of somewhere that should be on our list? Email projectsavethedate@gmail.com

Oh Canada

So sometimes when I receive a picture, the only thing I can do is laugh. When I posted an ad on Reddit.com a while back asking for help or ideas I received this picture from a reader. 

He simply said, "Here is my backyard in Calgary." I don't think that he ever anticipated that we would actually use it but, here it is! 

So now Project Save The Date has been to Calgary. 

Sorry for the short post (again) but yesterday was a long day at work and I got hope very late (which is when I write the posts)

Enjoy your Wednesday!

Sorry for the short entry. Busy week for me personally.

Holy Guatemala

Hello Hello!

I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend. Katie and I were very VERY bus this past weekend wedding planning. We went looking for suits for the bridal party (didn't find them), ran some errands and worked on other wedding odds and ends. I remember when weekends used to be relaxing. I am sure one day it will get back to that!

Today's picture comes to us from Jane who traveled over Christmas break with her family. This picture comes from Tikal Guatemala. Tikal is an ancient city ruins in Guatemala.

Thanks for getting these Jane. We really appreciate everyone who has helped up out with this Project. We are overwhelmed with the amount of people who have helped us out.

Thanks again for reading.

Life is a Marathon, a Disney Marathon!

Welcome to Friday!

As I mentioned in yesterday's post, today's pictures come to us once again from Rich and Rita. Rich and Rita also provided the underwater shots that were a big hit. Recently Rich and Rita completed the Disney Marathon in Orlando Florida. They took along the Save The Date with them. We never could have imagined that the Save The Date would have completed a marathon!. They took lots of pictures of the Save The Date at Disney and with the characters after completing the marathon. Because there were so many great pictures I decided to split it up over a couple days. Today's are all marathon related. 

Thanks again Rich and Rita for helping out and congratulations on completing the marathon. 

As always, let us know if you can help out with the Project. ProjectSavetheDate@gmail.com

Enjoy your weekend!

The Georgia Institute of Technology

These picture came into my Inbox from a Georgia Tech Student who took our Save The Dates around Atlanta. These three are from the front sign and from her dorm room.  Pretty nice of her to do that. 

Bit update: Tomorrow we will have picture from the Disney marathon that Rich and Rita completed. They took the Save The Date around with them and took picture during the race. Pretty cool. Look forward to that.

Another One Bits the Dust (Mississippi)

Well, another state is off the list. I recently received the pictures below of Mississippi from Rachel. The picture is of Riverside Park in Columbus Mississippi and Rachel added her own caption to the photo, "Not Very Artful, but it hit Mississippi..."

This just cracked Katie and I up. Columbus Mississippi is where one of my good friends grew up, which is how we ended up with a picture from there. So thank you to Rachel and Amy for helping out with the Project and crossing another state off the list. 

So how many states are left?

Glad you asked. Here is the list.

Alabama, Connecticut, Delaware, Idaho, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, North Dakota, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, and Wisconsin.

A few people already mentioned to me that they would be able to get Virginia and Tennessee but if you can help with cross off another state we would greatly appreciate it. Email ProjectSaveTheDate@gmail.com if you can help. It would be greatly appreciated.
