At some point, Nora will probably tell you the Rain Man story. It gets funnier, and less flattering, every time she tells it. But it's undeniable that I do kind of like numbers.
So as of 4:00 EST Saturday 3/5, we've heard back from 38.46% of those to whom we've sent cards, confirming their attendance or inability to attend. (Don't worry, this wasn't a test; the cards didn't have an RSVP option. It's just been fun to keep track. Rain Man, remember...)
We put an informal note in the invitation list as to whether each invitee was a high, moderate, or low likelihood of being able to attend (mostly based on how far away each person lives). We've heard back from 53.6% of the High group, 22.6% of the Moderate group, and 14.3% of the Unlikely group.
Of those who've confirmed they'll be able to attend, 69.23% are from away, and 30.77% are from the Middletown Springs area.
Do you know the "over/under" betting scheme for football games? The bookie creates a number representing the presumed total points scored by both teams, and you can bet "over" (that the teams will score more) or "under" (that they'll score less). Right now, my over/under on the wedding is 146. I'll be taking your bets in the Comments section below — Over? or Under?*
*Offer not available in states where internet gambling is regulated. Total prize pool is less than $1.32; chance of winning is 50%. Wedding attendance is counted at 10 minutes into the ceremony; late arrivals will not be added to the tally, and those fainting and carted away will not be subtracted. If the bride faints, the contest will be declared null. All bets must be received by June 1 to be eligible, so that any late forecast of thunderstorms, hail or tornadoes for the wedding day does not influence your position.
