We're Expecting!

The week-long social media blackout has finally been lifted! After keeping the announcement quiet so we could get down to Cincy and tell Cassie's family in person, we're happy to share it with the 'wider world'. I guess you could say Cassie herself is headed for a 'wider world'. Geoff just has to sit back, relax, and make jokes like that for the next 6 months.

Ok, ok, Geoff will be extra supportive [and probably extra anxious] in the coming months! He has already made trips to the grocery for some abnormal foodstuffs.

Now for some [surprisingly, already] FAQs:

Current artist's rendering of baby

When are you due?
Tentatively late October, 2014 [12 weeks along currently, or lime-sized if you're more familiar with fetal-fruit comparisons].

How is Cassie doing?
Other than a little nausea and sinus congestion, seems to be relatively normal so far. She does seem to be napping a lot, but then again she's always been a big proponent of naps.

Are you going to find out the sex of the baby?
Yes.

Are you going to tell us the sex of the baby?
Only if you behave yourselves.

Are you going to tell us your names for the baby?
Probably not, would like to keep you guessing at least a little bit.

Anything we can do for you?
Prayers, anecdotes, and well-wishes are all accepted.


Looking forward to our future adventures- we'll keep you posted!

One Year Later...

Next stop: Italia!

Hard to believe that it has been a year since our wedding in Cincinnati! We broke out the Waterford flutes and champagne [after celebrating Mother's Day, of course!] and got to reflect a little bit while writing in our anniversary journal... so far so good!

We're thankful for all of our family and friends who supported us on our 'Big Day' and throughout the year since. We had a busy year with few 'down' weekends, but that happens when you're blessed with amazing people in your life.

We both turned thirty this year as well, and we know that we've still only just begun our journey together. We can't wait to see what this next year will bring us [at the moment, we're packing for our vacation in Rome!]. We'll try and keep you updated, but life's starting to move pretty fast! Thanks for the visit, and have a great summer!

Love- Cassie & Geoff

Bari Cruze of CHERRYblossom Design has finished editing our wedding photographs! They are currently available online through his site until July 26, 2012:

[Click Here], find our wedding and enter the password: Cassie

With 700+ photos uploaded and edited, you're sure to find a few keepers! Many thanks to Bari and his wife, Louann for their time and suggestions! We had a lot of fun shooting our Engagement Photos in Chicago last September, and that was only a preview for the Big Party last month! Bari and Louann even had their daughter Madeline out helping us at the Athenaeum.

Enjoy the photos!

The Wedding Trailer

More Than A Wedding Trailer from Lifetime Films on Vimeo.

Matt Pine and Lifetime Films have posted a longer, two-and-a-half minute trailer for our wedding. To open in a separate window [CLICK HERE] and enter "cassie" as the password [without the quotes!] to see it. Or just input "cassie" above and enjoy!

You'll see clips of pre-wedding prep, Cassie's Grand Entrance, behind-the-scenes at the Athenaeum, a map, nephews, some tears, cake, and, of course, male-on-male ushering! And since it's in High Definition, guests may be able to spot themselves in some of the wider shots of the church...

A videographer was definitely a splurge for us on our wedding day, but we couldn't be happier with the way Lifetime Films shot our wedding. With four cameras rolling at once, they had to get a lot of good material! You can even spot them in our Shutterbooth photos- a nice surprise! These teaser-trailers have whet our appetites for the full-on video [due to arrive in theaters- er- Cassie & Geoff's blu-ray player sometime soon!].

One Month Later...

Hard to believe our Big Day was over a month ago! In the next week or so we should have a longer-cut video as well as access to all of our 'final' wedding pics... in the meantime, here's a few goodies:

We uploaded a disc of the Shutterbooth photos to our Yogile site, click below to find your Quartered Shots!

The first video to hit the streets will be used by our Videographer as promotional material later this year. Check it out below, and anticipate a slighty-longer 'trailer' of highlights from our wedding soon!

And, last-but-not-least, the Youtube Version of our first dance, More Than A Feeling, acoustically covered by Igor Presnyakov!
