Hey Family & Friends!
If you are interested in helping out the busy bride and groom on Friday and/or Saturday, please let us know. We could use help with:
1. Friday - setting up reception hall some time late morning/early afternoon. This would involve setting up tables, decorations, etc...
2. Saturday - Flower arranging, bouquet making (yes! - we're doing this ourselves) and general decorating of reception hall.
3. Saturday - Clean up crew for post reception party!

Thanks!

Attention Wedding Party & Others In Wedding

Schedule for Friday:

4:30-6:00 - Wedding Rehearsal at Chipeta Park, Nederland. *please be on time!
(Attendance needed by wedding party, officiant, parents of bride & groom, readers, betty....)

6:30 - Rehearsal Dinner at Red Lion

I can't believe it's only one week away! Well, I am very excited and anxious to see everybody. Please let Rose or Matt know if you have any questions about the rehearsal. See you there!

The Chalet gets a brand new coat of pain courtesy of several weekends of work from Rose and Mattt, maybe it's third coat since being built in 1965. Look for it on the right as you head from wedding to reception site at the Coal Creek Community Center.

Rose and I met with our master of ceremonies, Brad Buikema, last night to hammer out the final draft of the wedding ceremony, and though it weighs in at over 40 pages, I think we really captured almost all the crucial elements we wanted to cover. The goat sacrifice is out unfortunately and it doesn't look like we'll be able to pull off the Dance of the Virgins but otherwise I think you'll enjoy our little program, and Rose and I are super excited to see all of you (over 100 people) joining us to celebrate. We will have water bottles, some snacks, lemonade and bug-spray available at the wedding site. You may want to bring a parasol and some sunscreen, the high altitude sun can be a doozy! I'll be the handsome one near the front in the tuxedo. See y'all soon!

Avast matey!

Weekend ‘o July 23rd-24th the M.O. Alford Bachelor Party to Hell will descend into sleepy Winter Park, CO like the fog from…The Fog! Shambling zombie pirate costume will be mandatory as we hump it from the Chalet up to Eldora, down into Jenny Creek and up,up and away to Rollins Pass, there to perch like scurvy buccaneers on the larboard rail lustily preparing to board a convent ship bound for Havana with gold and virgins stacked to the gunwhales! If anything remains of our innate human decency by Sunday I’ll be bitterly disappointed…but we will ride! Out on a hot lap of Tipperary Creek to be exact before meeting several players to be named later, who having driven to WP, can now shuttle us all back to Boulder. Players to be named later are welcome to join in the festivus Saturday night and Sunday ride, just so long as they are not chicks. No chicks! And I claim total immunity from any moral quandary or legal ramifications arising from the Bachelor Party to Hell, and will refuse to testify in any case arising from aforesaid weekend. Pirate costumes, Rollins Pass, torch WP, Tip Creek, no chicks…what more could you ask for? Contact the groom for the 411, though as is typical there is no plan beyond what is presented here...
