There are just three months to go until the wedding now, so things are hotting up in zoolyweds-land.

The first thing that most of our readers will probably have noticed is that the first of our zoolyweds news update e-mails (also available as a PDF) has been released into the wild – or at least into our guests’ e-mail inboxes.

One of the main points of the newsletter is to highlight a recent change to the coach arrangements, whereby we now have a slightly more limited number of places available. I suppose I ought to try and put together some kind of ‘places remaining’ counter for the zoolyweds site, but it’s been a while since I did any serious PHP coding so for now we’ll make do with counting ticks regularly to make sure we haven’t gone over!

We’ve also been busy this evening putting together a brand new page on the main zoolyweds site: the Wedding Party.

Way back at launch-time, Duncan requested that we put some photos on the web site, even kindly providing one of Edith and me at her graduation ball last year. (The snippet of Edith on the Wedding Party page was taken from this.) This idea seemed good but for some reason we never really got around to doing anything about it. When I’d prepared the newsletter last night, though, Edith suddenly suggested a page profiling those people in the wedding party, with photos, at last realising the dream!

The photos proved quite a challenge for some people – indeed, I had to get one of Kaie by taking a freeze-frame from a video filmed when visiting her flat in 2003 – but we got there in the end, and we hope you’ll find the page interesting.

Since we only put the page together tonight, at the last minute, we also rather hope the people featured on it won’t object to their descriptions or pictures (not that we chose them to be flattering – although the giraffe mask certainly conceals my worst side ;)), as we haven’t run them past anyone yet. Gulp.
