2008-03-07T22:49:00.003-04:00

Time is really flying by. Our wedding will behere before ya know it and I hope everything that is planned goes through. So far we have the church reserved, the organist was notified, the cake lady has our design and flavor, and most importantly our honeymoon was finally booked last week. we are going to provincetown ( land of the rainbows and whale watching) maybe we will see spongebob also. some things that are happening this month

1. Sunday March 15 we are meeting with DJ Johnny to discuss the music and tell him which songs to play. So if anyone has a special song please let us know because we are not doing requests at the wedding. Ps. Vernon picked a song for the father of the bride dance. Jack is unsure of what to dance to for the siblings and mother/groom dance so please help him out

2. I need to go to pocono summit at this rental place to pick out table linens. Anyone who is free either on the weekend or onf fridays can come with

3. I will need assistance putting together the center pieces

4. i promise invitations will be mailed within the next week ( once I print them out)

Yikes 100 days to the wedding...

2008-02-27T23:00:00.002-04:00

Time is flying by and there is only 100 days unti lthe wedding. So far I have alot of things accomplished such as the favors are all made and packaged in my basement. I have the placecard holders, guys have their tuxes, girls have their dresses, flower girls, and ring boy are set. Now we just need to get those invitations mailed out and the church stuff finalized. please pray for me that we have an organist and some readers, a soloist would also be nice!! hint hint Ryan

Bachelor/Bachelorette Party

2008-02-22T21:38:00.003-04:00

It looks like NYC is winning the poll for bachelor/ bachelorette party. I know I shouldn't plan my own party, but I do have an idea. we can get a limo (14 passenger limo van) for 12 hours. cost is $599 plus tax/tip and go to NYC. because it is a combined party we should definately have 14 people. the cost if we all split it is 46 bucks a person ( assuming with tax and tip the total is $650 bucks). If we leave Pa at 6:30pm get to NYC around 8:30-9pm we can party all night and return home no later than 6:30am the next morning. let me know what ya think so I can book it. I would like to do this in May

Cupid - Cupid Shuffle (Instructional Video)

2007-09-07T09:09:00.001-04:00

My parents found this on youtube. YES they are cooler than me!!! The dance is called the cupid shuffle. For those of you who don't know it.. learn it... because we will be doing this at our wedding. Bridal party be ready!!!! you have 9 months from today to learn it!!! check it out

Cupid Shuffle

2007-09-07T08:55:00.001-04:00

Even elmo can do the shuffle. (I posted this one for the children attending the wedding)

Wedding flowers

2007-08-13T21:43:00.000-04:00

On Friday, I met with the florists in Stroudsburg to discuss floral ideas for the big day. Jack and I tossed around the idea of silk flowers.. however, I decided to go with real flowers because the bouquets just looked so beautiful. Don't worry Robin and Amanda because the bridesmaids will have less fragrant flowers ( roses and tulips). Below are some pictures of the flowers I liked. One of them is the actual bouquet I am using but you will have to see that one on the wedding day. peace!

3. the carribean (not mexico)

www.sears.com- click on gift regitry. select wedding and then type in our names and the wedding date and the state.

Wedding Registry

2007-07-16T21:49:00.000-04:00

Yesterday Jack and I went to Leigh Valley Mall and started our wedding registry at MACY'S. So far we picked some household appliances and a few pots that we needed. The stuff is on sale this week so feel free to buy it now!!!hehe I had my coworkers already looking at the goods.. so start spending some money because when they are gone... they are gone!!! I feel like a used car salesmen!!!! hehe. Okay you can look at our registry in stores under either Tiffany or Jack including our last names. Also you can look online.

1. go to http://www.macys.com/

2. click on wedding registry in the upper right hand corner

4. find our names on the list and then click to see our regstry

We Got a Church

2007-07-12T19:58:00.000-04:00

Yesterday Jack and I met with Fr. Ghezzi at St. Ann's church. He was really cool and they had our date available so it's a done deal. Because I am not catholic and Jack is.. having the wedding in a catholic church involves so much paperwork and verification. It is worse than doing taxes or applying for a loan!!! The good news is that Father John will be doing our entire wedding reception. At first Jack and I were a little shy about asking Fr. Ghezzi if he could do it.. because he was really nice and we didn't want to offend him. But as soon as we asked he said " sure he can take the whole wedding if he wants!" so that worked out great. So far the ceremony will start at 1pm and the rehearsal dinner will be the day before at 6pm. okay gotta go. will post more soon. here is a nice picture of St. Ann's

A May Wedding-Fritz and Amy

2007-05-28T20:00:00.000-04:00

Hello All,

This weekend Jack and I went to the wedding of Fritz and Amy. Jack was the best man because him and Fritz have been friends since high school. The wedding was different.............but at least there was an open bar.

Save The Date

2007-04-15T17:35:00.000-04:00

So it is official that we will be having our reception at the Shawnee and anyone who is interested in staying the night should call to reserve their rooms. With that said it's time to move onto another fun Topic....... Save the Date Magnets!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Below are some of the magnets I like. I definitely want a picture of me and Jack on the magnets to make it more personal. Feel free to comment on the ones you like to help me pick the best one. Thanks!!!!

We Got the Dresses

2007-04-15T15:53:00.000-04:00

On April 7, Heather, Amanda, Robin and myself went shopping for bridesmaids dresses. From the pictures below you can see we tried on many different styles.

But the dress we picked is a strapless A-line Bill Levekoff collection, shown below. The dress has a long sash with floral beading in the front of the sash and at the bottom. The actual colors of the dresses will be periwinkle with a champagne sash. I am not sure of the shoe color but we have time for all of that. Thanks again ladies for picking out this lovely dress.

Reception Venue

Important Info:

Jack and I decided to changed the date of the wedding to June 7th, 2008!!!!!! We decided not to have it during Memorial Day weekend because all of the resorts will be packed and traffic is terrible. Plus the new date is easy to remember just think 6,7,8!!!!

Meet the Flower Girls and Ring Boy

2007-02-19T18:19:00.000-04:00

Thank you Robin and Matt for the three beautiful children who will be stars of our wedding ( besides me of course).

First there is Caity who will be 5 years old for our wedding. This is Caity's third time as a flower girl so she is a professional. Just look at her strike a pose!!!

Next there is Emmy. Emmy is almost 2 years old and will be turning 3 years the day before our wedding. This is Emmy's second time as a flower girl and this time she can walk down the isle. YOU GO GIRL!!! PS she loves Ariel just like her big sister Caity!

And the newest edition is Danny. Danny is no rookie to the ring boy business. At only 1 month old Danny was the youngest ring boy ever. How did he carry those rings at such a young age and manage not to lose them? Well that's for Danny to know and ya'll to find out!!! Check him out wearing his uncle Ryan shirt and kahkis (Courtesy of Tiffany and Jack)

Wedding Reception Sites

2007-01-28T09:53:00.000-04:00

Jack and I have been looking at places to have our reception early because places around here book up fast .

We first checked out the French Manor which is very cute, elegant, and the views from Huckelberry Mountain are breath taking.

Then we looked at the Delaware Water Gap country club. As we all know the food and service there is wonderful and Mr. Carlton does a great job organizing everything (trying to score some brownie points)

My mother and I looked at the Pocomont resort this past friday. here is a picture of the ballroom which is on the top floor and has views of the watergap

Lastly Jack and I are going to check out Shawnee Inn and Golf resort in a few weeks. I've heard good things about it and it is right on the Delaware River which would be nice for photos provided it doesn't flood. here are some photos:
