We did it!

It was a day threatening to rain, but Matthew made the call to keep the ceremony at the beach. And we got her done. Lots of family, lots of photos, lots of fun. We enjoyed every minute. Not much time to post photos or blog, but it was a great day. See you soon.

Friday Night

Ramona gave Angie a lovely shower. There were about 20 of us talking and laughing and eating desserts. We had a great response to the Idea Shower. Many wonderful ideas were sent in. They were put into a beautiful book that Angie will be able to read any time she wants to feel the love. Haven't gotten to the beach yet, maybe tomorrow. Gets kind of busy to post any news. But all is well. Tomorrow more guests come in and tomorrow night is the rehearsal dinner. Weather is holding nicely.

Ready to Travel

I finished packing. Man, I am not sure this humongo suitcase is really 62" total but it's real, real close. It has to pass the baggage screen and then also fit in the rental car! Oh well, there's always bungie cords and the roof of the car. That's what our Dad would do!

Looking forward to a fun trip with my mom, my niece, and Angie's college friend. Angie and Ramona will be driving from East Rutherford and we'll all meet up in Cape May around 2 pm. and let the CELEBRATION begin!

See you by the Seahsore!

That's a message that one of Angie's coworkers wrote to me. Yesterday, Tuesday, Angie went to work and her coworkers threw her a nice little lunch where they made Oragami. That was one of the many hobbies Angie had in college. Ramona went around NYC all day and had fun.

Art Huger - pronounced with the R as silent (it's French), who is the best man was in the City so I saw him for a minute too.

This morning, Wed, Matthew is picking up his college friend Darnell from the airport this morning and Trig is coming this afternooon. Matthew is very excited.

Last night we watched the season finale of "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" and Angie is definitely NOT one of them -- he he. Also Matthew bought Angie "Guitar Hero-band edition" so we played that too. Angie is an excellent lead vocalist.

Ta ta for now!

Rain, rain go away

We're not believing any of those weather reports. We're going to have a sunny day for a sunny couple! Lots of sunshine headed our way!

I can't seem to finish packing. Classic avoidance!
