Bridal Shower on 6.20.09

Hello Everyone!

My bridesmaids threw me an amazing bridal shower on Saturday 6.20.09. Here are a few pics from the day! Everyone had a great time. Thanks everyone for your gifts. To my bridesmaids.. I couldn't have asked for anything better. You girls are amazing! THANK YOU!!!

The Proposal

Alex did a great job on the proposal. He took me to a spa resort in Stowe Vermont called "Stoweflakes." He pampered me all day with a massage, facial, pedicures, etc. Once I was all done he is waiting for me and we walked back to the hotel room. Once he opened the door and I walked in the fire place was on, there were beautiful flowers in a vase on the table and a bottle of my favorite white wine (Savignon Blanc) being chilled on the table next to the flowers. Before I realize what was happening Alex was down on one knee holding the ring box in his hands and asked me "Will You Marry Me?" It was very romantic and he was well prepared by letting me use his phone as mine had no service so I could call my family and my friends with the goods news and gave me two hours before dinner. We later went to dinner at the resort restaurant which was very romantic. It was the perfect proposal.

The First Date

Alex doesn't seem to think that this was our first date but it truly was. He asked me out to dinner and we went to a cute little itialian restaurant in his old neighborhood near Fenway Park in Boston called "Canestaro." To my surprise when I get to the restaurant he is waiting for me with his roommate (Pat Schoennagel...one of the groomsmen). The three of us had a wonderful first date =).

How We Met

Alex and I have a very romantic story on how we met. We actually met in Managerial Accounting class at Northeastern University where Alex was the class clown in the back of the room and I was the quiet girl in the front of the room. We happened to be placed in the same group for our group project and had to spend a lot of time together to get the project done. Who knew that six years later we would be getting married! =)

Party Time....Musica!!!

Hi Everyone!!!!

Alex and I would love it if everyone posted some ideas on what music we should play at the wedding. List your favorites and maybe you'll get to show off your dance moves to it at the wedding.

Meet the Little Guys

Meet the young men in my life:



Matthew- Usher
- He is my oldest nephew. I have helped take care of Matt since he was born when I was only 16. I'd say we have a very close bond... we are best buds and he can always count on me. He always reminds me that I am getting older and keeps me in the loop of what is cool. Wouldn't be right not to include him on the big day.

Christopher - Ring Bearer
- He is my soon to be 5 year old nephew. He brings lots of joy to me watching him grow and learn new things each day. It is amazing how many questions a kid can ask in a short period of time... you gotta love it! It's going to be great watching him walk down the aisle with our "rings."
