The professional wedding pics are now up on walgreens.com and thus can be bought a lot more cheaply than through our photographer! There are over 1000, so lots of new ones that weren't on our photographer Brian's site. 

Here is the link to our professional pictures album (you need a Walgreens account to view/order, which is free): http://photo2.walgreens.com/walgreens/thumbnailshare/AlbumID=11459670002/a=15911711_15911711/otsc=SHR/otsi=SALBlink/COBRAND_NAME=walgreens/

Mrs. Dolan's professional AND amazing pictures are also up on Walgreens:

Here's a coupon for 40% off on all prints from Walgreens through Saturday Oct. 15: ALLPRINTS

TIP: ESPECIALLY if you are ordering a size bigger than 4x6, check the preview before you order the print, b/c you may need to crop the photo to make it look how it should. Once the photo is in your cart, click "PHOTO PREVIEW" to see what the picture will look like. If you don't like the way it looks, crop the photo using the crop button, the first button under the photo next to the size. You can then click on and drag the photo to move it within the window until you like how it looks, then click "Apply changes." I've been burned too many times by
Walgreens not to pass this info along. Make sure to click photo preview when ordering bigger prints!! If you have questions just ask me!

Thanks again everyone for everything, we had a great time!

We just received a link to our online gallery from our photographer Brian Kinyon, and the pictures look fantastic!

You can buy pictures there, or hang tight for a few weeks and we'll put them up on walgreens.com as soon as we receive the picture discs. We will also have more pictures available (as Brian does not post all the pics he takes). Have fun looking!

Check out these awesome and beautiful pictures from our friends Barbara Dolan and Samir Mirza, who have a gift for capturing the moment on film! You just might see yourself in the mix :)

Feel free to download the pictures to your computer from Picasa, which you can do via the 'download' button at the top of each picture. Enjoy!

Our photographer Brian Kinyon's pictures to come soon :)

Thanks again to all of our wonderful friends and family for sharing in our wedding celebration! We had an amazing time and wouldn't change a thing! 

Stay tuned to the website in the next month for links to our pictures - including the photoboard pics!

We are one week out and feeling the crunch!  Luckily for me, Woody and both of our families have been a HUGE help in the wedding planning process.  Don't get me wrong, I love to plan parties, but they're usually the kind you can get away with preparing for the night before... ;)

Details for our hotel guests:

Tomorrow, Saturday June 4th, is our last guaranteed night for the Holiday Inn Express to have rooms available under the Titus/Woodward wedding block at the $72 rate.  After that, you can still get rooms under our block at the discounted rate if they are still available, which they should be.  See "Accommodations" for booking details.  

Shuttles will depart the Holiday Inn Express to take guests to the reception at Makray at 5:15 and 5:45.  If you take the earlier shuttle, you can fill the time before the reception by taking pictures with our photographer until the appetizers start and the bars open at 6:00!

At the end of the night, shuttles will depart Makray for the Holiday Inn Express at 11:30, 12:00, and 12:30.

If you haven't yet dropped your RSVP in the mail, there's no time like the present! RSVPs are due by May 10th. After that, they will self-destruct :) If you've misplaced your RSVP card, you can let us know at rwhtwedding@gmail.com. 

Also, remember to book accommodations if you need them - our hotel is the Holiday Inn Express, 1550 East Dundee Road in Palatine. 

For reservations, call 847-934-4900 and let them know whether you would like to stay Thursday, June 9th (day before the wedding), Friday, June 10th (day of the wedding), or both. 

Make sure you book under the Titus/Woodward wedding block for $72 a night plus tax, which is over $20 savings from their posted rate for those nights. This includes a shuttle to/from Makray as well, and free breakfast.

As far as wedding planning goes, Woody and I are still working off of April's to-do list, har har. We've planned a few surprises for our guests, so get excited ;)

Something special is on its way this week! :)

Hotel accommodations for the wedding have been set.  Please see the accommodations page of the website for more information.

Woody & I just finished the fun experience of making our wedding registries! You can see where & what we registered for on the "Registries" link to your left.

We are also pleased to say we have picked Brian Kinyon as our wedding photographer, and Mike Dodson of MDM Entertainment as our DJ. If you've got any song requests, feel free to leave your suggestions in the Guestbook :)

Next up, we'll be dining at Makray with our parents to choose the dinner menu.

Hope everyone has a nice New Year's!

Love, 
Heather
