Final Reminders

The big day is only one week away! Are you getting excited yet? If not, you should be! Here are a few reminders as we approach the celebration.

1. If you haven't already, RSVP. Now. Please? Thanks!
2. Party starts at 4 PM. Fashionably late is fine by us, but there's not need to be excessive.
3. Dress is casual, gifts are forbidden. OK, not actually forbidden, but certainly not encouraged. Your company and conversation are what will make the party a success.
4. For those interested, there will be a reception at McLean Baptist Church after the 10:00 service on Sunday morning in honor of the anniversary. There's nothing wrong with celebrating twice.
5. Send pictures and stories to bobmm40th@gmail.com. Any well-wishes sent to that address will also be passed on to the happy couple.

Thanks for celebrating with us!

The time draws nigh!

The big day is only weeks away! Are you getting excited yet? I can only assume so. In addition to getting excited though, there are a few other things you need to do.

1. RSVP. Have you done it yet? If not, go here to make it happen. After all, you don't want to be the one to throw off the food count and make the last person in line do without ribs, do you?
2. Reserve lodging. If you're not local, you're going to need someplace to sleep. You can find some options here.
3. Send pictures and stories. Whether you will be attending in person or not, you can contribute to the celebration by sending your pictures and stories of Bob and Mary Margaret to bobmm40th@gmail.com. We will protect our sources if necessary.

 Thanks for helping us celebrate 40 fantastic years!

If neither of these strike your fancy, or you prefer to take your chances with Hotwire or Priceline, searching for anything near Dulles Airport or Reston will put you well within range of the party.

RSVP today!

40 years ago, the Internet barely existed as a handful of military and academic mainframes. 

40 years ago, Bob and Mary Margaret were preparing for a lifetime of marriage.

Today, we're using that Internet to help celebrate that marriage.

This blog provides a place you can come for all the information you could possibly need. If you need something and it's not here, leave a comment, or

Email the party committee at BobMM40th@Gmail.com. Send questions, comments, stories, and most importantly, your RSVP. Of course, if you'd rather not email, you can

Call (703) 539-2621. This will take you to a Google Voice mailbox where you can leave a question, comment, or RSVP. Even cooler, you can click the "Call Me" button on this blog to have Google connect the call for you.

Most important, RSVP somehow, someway. And keep checking back here for more information as it becomes available. Thanks for celebrating!

(PS - We're serious about sending stories. We'd like pictures as well. If you've got something related to Bob and Mary and their marriage, we'd love to see it.)
