Winners Announced!

Well, I was going to wait until tomorrow to give you the details of the Jacksonville Magazine's huge wedding giveaway.... BUT I decided to go ahead and let you know tonight.

We had a wonderful evening at the beautiful Serenata Beach Club.

There were four finalist couples.

1) Kathleen Holland and Brian Triggs
2) Monica Mia Hiday and Ryan Ketterman
3) Lauren Brooks and Ryan Imhulse
4) Nita Sinden and Ian Hurley

The four finalists competed in the NearlyWed Game. They answered some tough questions about each other. The deciding question was when the women were asked "How will your fiance' fill in the following sentence?: A good wife is one who _____________" Nita and Ian's answer was "loves" How sweet!

I'll give you more details tomorrow later, but for now........

Our very lucky winners are Nita Sinden & Ian Hurley. I'll be tending to the details leading up to the wedding, so I'll keep you posted on the progress.


until next time.....

EASY WEDDING PLANNING!

Slacker!

Okay, Okay, I'm sooooo very sorry for being such a slacker! Thanks to Lisa for letting me know! She asked me when I was going to start keeping up with my blog again....
How embarrasing!

Well, I've attached an article which kinda explains what I've been doing....



I know, it's no excuse. Thank you for calling me on it. To those of you who enjoy receiving my newsletter, I've also kinda slacked on that one too, haven't I? I promise that next week things will return to normal....

Well, maybe. Of course, the Christmas season kinda prevents normal, doesn't it?

I'll write you a quick story later on this week to explain something that happened to me that reminds me of the spirit of this time of year.

until then.....

ParisDailyPhoto: Quiet Please! links

I just HAD to link to this post....
In August, 2006, my husband & I went on our first anniversary trip. We spent time in Dublin, Paris & Stratford on Avon. We had the absolute BEST time.... {{sigh}} I only recalled this experience now, because I was looking through some of our old photos, and there are some really fantastic ones in Paris.
Of course, who can't take a fantastic photo in Paris?

Anyway...when I saw Eric's blog entry, it reminded me of our trip. It reminded me of that LOVELY restaurant we ate dinner in, which was FILLED with cigarette smoke! Filled. To The Brim. Anyway, that's why a lot of people ate outside. Well, that reason & because it's just so beautiful there, who wants to be inside?

I'll post some photos from my trip if you are interested, otherwise, enjoy this post of Eric's:
