What To Wear

Just about two weeks away, and we've been getting questions about what to wear to the wedding. The answer is seen above.

Ok, not really.

It could be hot so dress however you think you'll be comfortable. Suits with no ties for the guys, or even just a shirt and pants. Comfortable dresses for the ladies.

Presence, No Presents


We are just about four months away from the big day and we'll be sending out invitations soon. You won't be seeing a registry on those invitations, and that's because we're not registering anywhere. Many of our guests are spending a lot of money just to be there for the wedding. We want them to spend as little as possible once they get to Palm Springs. The best present you can get us is just being there for the weekend.

The Hotel


We've made arrangements for everyone to stay at the Hyatt Regency Suites in downtown Palm Springs. Room rates will be $99 a night and you can book now if you want. Call (760) 322-9000 and say it's for the Polos/Gearhart wedding. If you're renting a car or driving into town it will cost $10 a night to park. If you are flying directly into Palm Springs you can get away with not renting a car. The hotel has a free shuttle to and from the airport. The hotel is right in the middle of downtown so everything will be walking distance. That includes the house where the wedding and reception will be. The hotel has two restaurants and several bars (if you're into that sort of thing). Check out the website to see more.

The Entertainment

We are very excited to announce that Bobby Yang & his Power Trio will be providing the music for the ceremony and reception.

We first saw Bobby and the guys play at a wedding last September. At the time Andrew said, "We have to get these guys to play our wedding". Bobbi responded, "How about you propose sometime soon, jerk".

Anyway, the band will be playing plenty of songs you know and love except with a little twist. There's no singer, just Bobby leading the way with his violin. You can expect some classic rock, current tunes, and even a little hair metal and early '90's hip hop by request of the bride and groom.

Check out his www.bobbyyang.com and there are plenty of videos on You Tube to hear some of their music for yourself.

There will be D.J. as well to fill in the gaps and join the band for some "remixes".

One Year To Go

It has been pretty slow on this blog so far, but that's about to change. With just a year left to go things are picking up speed. We took our engagement pictures and the save the date cards should be going out in the next month. This weekend we'll be in Palm Springs to see what to expect from the weather. We're finalizing a few things we're very excited about, and we'll be posting on here a lot more frequently from here on out. Some big news is coming. Just 365 days to go.

Things To Do While you're There



We know a lot of people are planning on coming in early for the wedding. We'll get some things planned once the date gets closer. In the meantime, here's a link to a site that has restaurants, golf courses and other things to do. But for most of Andrew's friends let's not kid ourselves. Here's a direct link to the casinos.

How to Get There


There hasn't been a whole lot of activity since we're so far away from the wedding date. But we did want to answer one question some people have had for us. What's the best way to get to Palm Springs? Palm Springs has its own airport. Anyone flying from the east coast probably won't find any direct flights there, but it's probably the best option.

Another option is to fly into L.A. and drive down to Palm Springs. It's about a two-hour drive from LAX. Burbank & Ontario airports are also options.

And for anyone looking to be real adventurous there's Las Vegas. It's about a four and a half hour drive through the Mojave National Preserve. But anyone who's seen "The Hangover" might want to steer clear from that option if you want to make it to the wedding on time, and with your dignity intact.
