Hi All,
Things are looking great for the wedding in two weeks! Time is flying by and it seems like a month has passed since I was sitting for the Bar Exam. Marcus and I came back from the test in Roanoke to immediately move me from my townhouse in Williamsburg last Monday. Thank goodness for him because I would have been a distraught mess if he wasn't there for me through the nerves and jitters and all of the heavy lifting.
This week is all about tying up loose ends. Never one to do things like anyone else, there are lots of surprises for you in Charlottesville. We are finalizing our lists for Chef Borroughs as well so if you chose the steak and we have not gotten back to you about your temperature preference, please reach out to Marcus or me so that we can mark you down.
Our rehearsal walk through will be on Sunday, but afterwards, we are all going to Topeka's Steakhouse for some yummy, delicious food and lots of festive conversation and laughs. Last year, we stayed in the hotel directly behind the restaurant for the UVA v. Virginia Tech football game. After walking around campus all day, we wanted something close to the hotel so that we could relax for the rest of the night and decided to take a chance on Topeka's. The food was fantastic and the service was awesome. I even sent management an email to gush about how much we enjoyed ourselves considering how picky we are about steak and restaurants in general. We hope to be able to repeat that experience with you all.
The reservation is for 7:30 p.m. and it is optional so feel free to skip it if you would rather explore all that the greater Charlottesville area has to offer. We wanted to extend the invitation to everyone because we genuinely love your company :) Dress is super casual since we are having such a formal event the following day. So come as you are! Also, if you are concerned about consuming too much red meat for one weekend, they have other options; just take a quick gander at the menu.
Again, should you have any questions or concerns, do not hesitate to contact me. :) I really enjoy answering your emails.
Kindly,
Michele

Note from Michele:
Just in case there is any confusion, I am only engaged to one man. I know, I know..... the blog says Michele Hearts Christopher while I keep calling him Marcus. Well, due to a small identity crisis in the 8th grade, my fiance started going by his middle name. Actually, he did this because there were far too many Chrises following the rise of Kris Kross. :) In any case, formally, I address him as Chris, but on a regular basis he is Marcus to me.
