Hi all -
We've returned from our wonderful week-long honeymoon in Maine, unpacked, and gradually returned to our routine. We got the photographs from Justin Keat this past weekend and are beginning to sort through them all. The "Photo Gallery" link will take you through the entire collection (about 300 pictures in all, including the ones where someone's eyes are closed or a kid is looking the wrong way, etc.), but we'll have several smaller albums posted once we get them organized.

Love to all,
Mark and Kristin

Due to willful and persistent acts of shaving, Mark no longer has a beard or moustache. The picture of the groom above is for illustration purposes only.

That is all.

A few new additions this week. We added a page full of Pittsburgh attractions to the site. If you're looking for something to do on Saturday before the wedding, or if you're staying around to check out more of Pittsburgh, we've provided a list of suggestions we hope are helpful. If you have any questions or are looking for recommendations of things to do, sites to see, or places to eat, just give us a call or send an email.

Just under a month now (yay!),
Mark and Kristin

Hi all! You probably noticed some new additions to the website. Down the left-hand side of the page you'll now see links for a little more info about the two of us (many of you may know one but not the other), details on where things are happening and how to get there, our honeymoon gift registry, and contact info should you need to get in touch with either of us.

Right now we're working on a list of Pittsburgh attractions for those of you coming in from out of town. There are a lot of interesting and fun things for young and old that are all within a few miles of the hotel (which is just North of downtown Pittsburgh). Check back in a week or so for that to be online. If you have any questions about coming to Pittsburgh, just let us know!

Love to all,
Mark and Kristin

We just got back from a weekend in Pittsburgh wrapping up some of the remaining wedding details: wedding dress (picked it up), tux (fitted), flowers (conceived a nifty idea for the centerpieces), and checked in on the hotel and reception hall. Mark hadn't seen the Highland Country Club yet, and he was very impressed!

As far as we can tell, people are now being successful in reserving rooms. The rooms will only be held until a month before the wedding, so make sure you reserve yours before June 1st. Make sure to mention the Bentrem-Pfaff wedding to get the reduced rate ($99 for a king, $109 for two queens).

In a few days there will be lots more information on the website - stay tuned!

If you are looking to reserve a room at the Holiday Inn, and they're telling you there are no rooms available in our block, THEY ARE WRONG. There have been a few problems getting the block of rooms set up, but they should be resolved soon.

Rest assured there are plenty of rooms available in the hotel (80 or so as of this past weekend).

If you have any problems at all getting a room, please let us know and we'll help sort it out.

The invitations went out on Monday, so if you're here already, you must be as excited about the wedding as we are! Stay tuned and we'll have more stuff up here soon, such as directions, things to see and do in Pittsburgh, and more.

All the best,
Mark and Kristin
