Sorry for the lack of updates. We've been making steady progress getting ready for the wedding. There are still a ton of things to do. Right now, we are meeting with caterers. We'll have a menu finalized very soon.
We also have meetings with photographers next week. Someone at Kaushal's office joked they would do it for $100 on their Iphone! While you can't beat that price, we're looking for someone with more professional experience. If you have suggestions, feel free to leave them in the comments.
Also, if you have any songs you wished to be played at the reception, please let us know. However, there are certain songs that will NOT be played such as the Macarena and anything by Jason Mraz.

Things to do
For our guests who will be traveling from out of town, we hope you’ll be able to get a little taste of Springfield while you’re here.
Springfield is most famous for one particular resident, Homer Simpson. In honor of Homer, you can visit Mel-o-Cream donuts. The company was founded here in 1932 and remained a Springfield staple every since.
Coming in a close second is Springfield's other most famous resident, Abraham Lincoln. And our city has plenty of Lincoln sites. The Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum, Lincoln’s home and tomb; and the Old State Capitol are some of the best among them.
If you’re interested in architecture, the Frank Lloyd Wright designed Dana Thomas House might be a nice diversion from all the Lincoln sights.
And if you like food, there are plenty of restaurants to satisfy a beastly appetite! For those of you who saw the Springfield edition of Man v. Food, you can visit Darcy’s Pint, Cozy Dog and Joe Rogers’ Original Recipe Chili Parlor for yourself. If you like pancakes, you might also like Charlie Parker’s, which was featured on another Food Network show, Diners, Drive-ins and Dives.
You might also like to eat at Robin's favorite place and where we went on our first date: Panera Bread on Wabash Ave., then go for a drink where we met, Brewhaus on Washington St.
Here's a map with some of the attractions.
