We met with executive chef Gaurav Navin ( we call him Chef G) He cooked all of the food on our menu from the 5 hourderves to the 4 entres. Looking at the pictures it was delicious!!!!!! We hope everyone enjoys all the food at the wedding..... if not.... more for us !!!!! Adios

Wedding Thriller Dance

We can always do this dance instead of the cupid shuffle. I really like the guy in the front. he reminds me of Ryan with his enthusiasm. love ya

Cupid - Cupid Shuffle (Instructional Video)

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

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

Wedding flowers

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!

Honeymoon Ideas

Because it is about 10 months until our wedding, Jack and I were thinKing about places to go for our honeymoon. here are our ideas:

1. Cruise and land package to Alaska
2. flying to California and staying in Northern CA (San Francisco, Napa valley, Petrified Forest, Yosimite National Park)
3. the carribean (not mexico)
4. and any ideas from our friends/ family


so write some comments and let me know what ya think. recommendations are welcome, even good travel sites

thanks

We Got a Church

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

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.

Jack's Graduation

Finally, Jack graduation this passed Friday May 11, 2007 from ESU with his Masters in Microbiology. He is my nutty professor!!!!!!! Now that his thesis is done he is looking forward to planning the wedding.

Save The Date

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

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

Jack and Tiffany are happy to announce that their wedding reception with be held at the .....drum roll please...........

The Shawnee Inn and Golf resort!!!! For those of you who would like to spend the night at the resort the day of the wedding please feel free to look at their website for more information about lodging and prices and nearby activities!!! http://www.shawneeinn.com/default.aspx

New Wedding Date

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

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)
