So the board has been a little slow so I thought I would be an attention whore and talk about ME!!! :D Sorry!

Not much new, but I am getting married 13 weeks from tomorrow! Seems pretty crazy. Oh, maybe I can ask for help from non-NYers. For my favors I'm doing little gift bags with Puerto Rican candies (for him), dried MI cherries (for me) and now we need a NY item. What do you think of when you think of NY? It can be food or whatever. (And we can't do apples b/c in May they are not ripe here and we'd actually be getting Washington apples!)

And to add more pictures, this is my adorable neice in her Flower Girl dress. She will probably steal the show, but that's ok!!!!

And my shower is in a couple of weeks and I registry peeked and someone bought me my fancy cookware! I'm very excited! :)

Her dress to adorable! :)

Kathy, I love hearing your updates! (I do think it's crazy that it's only 13 weeks away & you still haven't officially asked me to be a bridesmaid!!!)

Kathy-
That's the cutest flowergirl dress ever. Although, your dress is fabulous, so I don't think anyone could steal the show from you! ;)

A NY item??? Gosh, I can't really think of anything that says NYC to me. Maybe subway tickets?? lol. ;) Don't worry about adding an extra item, candy and cherries sounds like a tasty snack to me.

You must tell us about your shower when it is over!
lico,
M

Sorry to crash, but I was reading the update. I always think of bagels or pizza when I think of New York foods.

Kathy, what about something like this:

Brandi: That's what we thought about, too! But I don't think a big ol' greasy slice of NY pizza will fit in the bag! :( :p And the bagels, to get good fresh ones I'd then have to wrap in plastic myself and I think that's just not what I'm going to want to do on Friday. Oh well!

Nut: We also did think about something like that. Maybe an I <3 NY magnet or something. I can go to China Town and get tons of those for about $5! That may be the answer!

Thanks, ladies!

I like the I heart new yourk magnet idea. It's certianly something people will use.. and then they can remember your wedding!

How are things going? we are getting close, aren't we?

Yes, it's 11 weeks tomorrow! :eek: So much to do still!

I'm leaving work early to go home to MI for my shower. Should be fun and exhausting. I know I am a dancer, so I don't mind beng on a stage performing, but sitting in the middle of a room, with all eyes on me while I open presents - it's going to be a little werid!

Re: MY DRESS!
 

OK, this is OBVIOUSLY not me! And the pic I posted of my niece is now some girl I don't know with Cinderella!!!! How weird! Is this a shutterfly issue or soemthing?

At any rate! I'm getting married this Saturday! I'm very excited and won't be reported for running away to NM - I promise! :) We has a super busy weekend with laundry doing, shopping for welcome bag goodies, house cleaning for guests, etc etc. I'm only taking off Th and F this week, and now I wish I had put in for Weds. too. Oh well.

Right now the days before and after Sat are looking beautiful weather wise. But Sat.'s forecast has gone from defintie showers to "few showers" and it will be around 70 so that's good. The ceremony isn't until 5pm, so hopefully any rain will clear up by then - or hold off until after midnight!

Belated Congratulations on your wedding. I'm sure it was beautiful and I hope you have a very long and beautiful marriage too!

My sister just got engaged. On Saturday she and her fiance went to check out facilities including where Kathy had her wedding. I asked my sister what she thought. She said that she couldn't get the full tour because a wedding was going on. I told her that I think I know the bride.

BEST WISHES, Kathy! Can't wait to hear all about it!

I'd like to chime in with congratulations as well!
I'm not good with eloquent wishes for the future, but I do wish you the best in your marriage and future =)
