Hey all,
   Sorry we haven't written, but we kind of had a wedding to attend to.  For those of you who were able to join us, thank you so much for your love and support on the day of our wedding and we hope you had a wonderful time and a good dinner.  For everyone who couldn't make it for one reason or another, you were in our thoughts and we hope to see everyone soon.
 
Liana is downstairs right now logging in gifts so we are sure we didn't miss anything before we head out to the airport for the night.  Tomorrow morning we take off for Maui and will finally be able to relax.  Not to say that we didn't have an extremely great time at the wedding and the reception, but it will be a different type of fun.  Those of you who have actually gotten married will understand what I mean.  Liana said it best: We both have a new found respect for brides and grooms.
 
Just a few quick comments on the wedding and reception:  We and our families were very happy with the ceremony.  It had just the right mix of personality and religion that it had a little something for everyone.  And I have to say a quick thank you again to our bridesmaids, groomsmen, and ushers who helped us through the day.  We wouldn't have been able to pull of the ceremony without everyone doing their part.  A special thanks to Father Brian as well who really made us feel at ease during the ceremony and who has helped us out this past year both in terms of the wedding and with our spirituality.  It was amazing to see all of the people who came out to the ceremony and it meant a lot to Liana and I that you were there to share our proclamation of love.  Fortunately nothing major went wrong during the ceremony, a few shakey voices now and then, a missed cue or two that no one really picked up on, and the best part when Father Brian took us to one side of the church and then the other during communion because he was instructed to put us on one side by our wedding rehearsal coordinator but accidentally took us to the other.  He said not to worry for most people would think it was some sort of wedding ritual they just didn't know of.

The reception was a blast and as I said in my speech, there are too many people to thank for that, so I won't even try, but I will give a great big thank you to everyone who was able to come and those of you who were out there thinking of us on our big day.  Dinner was great (even though we ate a little later then we thought due to some rain playing around with our outdoor photo session after the wedding) and the dancing afterwards was a fun time.  We were happy to see everyone shaking their bodies out on the dance floor and letting their hair down as the night wore on.  A special thank you to our fathers and our best man and maid of honor for their speeches, they touched our hearts and really gave the reception a personal touch.  A special thanks also to our DJ Scott Still who kept the reception going and got people out of their chairs and onto the dance floor.  Perhaps the funniest moment of the reception (just as an aside) was the bouquet and garter toss.  My cousin Kayla caught the bouquet from Liana and was very happy to have one of the many groomsmen or older single guys put it on her.  What she wasn't counting on was that when I did the garter toss that it would wind up in the hands of Liana's cousin Bob (called Little Bob because his father is also Bob), one of the younger members of the group trying to catch the garter.  What Little Bob didn't count on was what he would have to do with the garter once he caught it.  It was one of the funniest things I have ever seen as our DJ Scott and our best man Matt Zelman attempted to help him put the garter on Kayla's leg.  The whole room was rolling in laughter.  That was one of many funny and cute things that happened, but I don't have time to go through them all.
 
Okay, there are a thousand things I haven't said and more then enough people I need to thank (like Bryan and Michele for coming out even though Michele had only given birth five days prior) but I do need to finalize my packing and help clean up our house a little bit so that we can get to the airport.  Hope everyone had a great time and we look forward to seeing everyone when we return with plenty of photos and stories. 

One day left before the big event.  Last night we got to celebrate with our friends at our respective bachelor and bachelorette parties.  I know that both Liana and I had a great time out with our friends and we want to send a big thank you to everyone who made the time to come celebrate with us.  While the actual details of the parties are only known to those who actually attended (what happens two days before the wedding stays two days before the wedding) we all had a great time and everyone got home safe and sound.  Today we have the rehearsal to look forward to as well as the rehearsal dinner.  Then tomorrow is the main event.  We can't wait to see everyone from out of town (as well as those of you from around the corner) who we have yet to see this week and we hope that everyone who had to travel long distances to be with us had good flights or car and train rides.  Not much else to report (knock on wood) so I will keep this short.  See everyone tonight or tomorrow.

Wedding Update:

Wow, only three days until the wedding and things are really coming together. We have had some obstacles along the way, things that have been beyond anyone's control, but we have overcome them and keep pushing forward. We were sorry to hear today that our good friend Maya Jordan will not be able to join us to sing at our wedding due to some health problems in her family. We wish her the best and we ask that everyone keep her family in mind. We do hope that all goes well and she can still join us for the wedding. Everyone's tuxes have been picked up and are either with the people who will wear them or are at our place. We are hoping everyone can try them on by Friday in case there are any problems. Liana and her mother dropped off the wedding license as well some payments to the church and we talked with our rehearsal coordinator last night and she said that Liana is on the ball with all of her planning and thoughts. It should allow us a shorter rehearsal and a more smooth wedding. :)

Let me think, what else? We had a wonderful dinner last night with five of our six folks (Bryan unfortunately could not join us because of school and work) and my family got to meet Liana's Dad and step-mother for the first time. As I said, we had a great dinner, everyone got along well, and the conversation was lively and non-stop (which tells you something about all of our families). Tonight Liana and I are headed up to Highland to see more of Liana's Dad's side of the family (uncles, aunts, cousins) as well as her sisters and brother. I am really excited to see them all again for in a few days, they will all be my family as well.

We have no idea what the next few days are going to bring, but we know that Saturday is going to be great no matter what happens (knock on wood) and we can't wait to see people as they start coming into town to celebrate with us. Tomorrow is also the bachelor and bachelorette parties so there should be lots of stories to tell in the next few days. See you all in the next update.

The countdown is nearing an end. 5 days till the wedding!
My mom is coming into town in about an hour to stay with us for a few days to help out. The big item on our agenda today is getting all the reception items to Joy Manor. (ex- guest book, centerpieces, cake topper...).
Also, over the last few days, I printed out the table seating cards for the reception and put together a schedule for the next 5 days. There's a lot of little things to do, but between Ralph and I and our moms, we should be just fine.
Ralph and I were actually a bit side-tracked from wedding things over the weekend because we were up in Lansing... why?... because our friends Michele and Brian had an addition to their family! Baby Ella Rose was born at 9:15am Sunday 7 1/2lbs 19".

Programs and seating and tuxes, Oh My!

Just a quick note. I have removed the "comment" function off of this site, because someone was writing very rude comments. I appologize to anyone who was enjoying this function. To the one writing perverse comments: I hope you seek forgiveness for vandalizing a site meant for something as beautiful and precious as a wedding.

Wow, it's officially July. In 16 more days, it will be our Wedding! Everyone told us this past year would go by fast, and it certainly has. We're getting down to the wire now. I finished printing and assembling all the programs last week. Have a final meeting with Joy Manor tomorrow (payment and arrangments). Between Ralph, his mom, my mom and myself, we are trying to coordinate all the friends and families coming into town (when they will arrive, where they are staying, etc... a much bigger task than it seems!!). We've been making lists of every item that we need for each event (ex. rehearsal, rehearsal dinner, ceremony, reception). These lists seem to have been growing on their own!! This Friday, we should finish with table seating and I can begin to print the table cards. After that, most all the planning and assembling is done, so all that is left is coordinating everything together for a well-planned and fun day!
PS- we're also getting very excited about our honeymoon!! :-)
PSS- if you didn't hear, I got a new job!!! Assistant to the Head of School (principal) at a Private Academy. I start August 2.
PPSS- if you didn't hear, Ralph and I will be moving to Novi mid-August. No address as of yet, though.
PPSSS- don't have more to say, just wanted to see how long i could keep the PS's going. tee-hee!

It's one thirty in the morning as I type this. Have I been up this late? No. I went to bed at a reasonable 10pm and read my book until about 10:20. I was sleeping fine, but I woke up about an hour ago and couldn't go back to sleep. So I sit at the computer, staring blankly, and it hit's me ... I might not be able to sleep this time a month from now either ... because it's our wedding day! Wow! Only one month to go.

Most of the RSVP's have been sent, and in a week or so, we will start working on table seating, and making final arrangements. I am also creating the wedding program myself, which is designed, but needs to be printed and put together. Final dress fitting is next week, and I've figured out how to do my hair. I won't tell you how, but a hint is that you won't be seeing my naturally frizzy curly hair!

Well, guess I better try to go back to sleep. Perhaps I should count sheep... in veils! :-)

Today I get to have a trial run-though for my wedding hair-do... will it be up, down, pig-tails, i don't know! But I will let you know after today! Also, last week, I started making the favors with Ralph's mom. It's amazing how much time actually goes into putting them together. At least we're halfway done now.
We had another meeting with the photographer yesterday, too. Just to plan out more details of the 'big day'... like timing and what we specifically liked style-wise.
Also, my final dress fitting is in two weeks. Everything is just coming together perfectly! (knock on wood!)

A sincere thank you to Ralph's Mom, Aunt Evelyn and Aunt Toula for throwing a fabulous shower this past weekend! It was wonderful to see old faces, and meet new ones. Ralph peeked his head in to say hello and thank you to everyone as well.
We're getting close now... less than 2 months away! I've made a hair appointment for the wedding, and now we're working on when everyone will be arriving into town. There have been lots of little details to attend to lately, but we seem to have everything under control.
Ralph and I are getting really excited now. We've received close to half of the RSVP's back so far... please keep sending them if you haven't yet because the sooner we get them all back and record them, the sooner we can start planning food and table seating!! :-)

Ralph and I are so excited right now! We've already received about 20% of our RSVP's back and we mailed them only a week and a half ago! Thank you to everyone who is sending them promptly... it is going to make our lives a heck of a lot easier!
There is a lot of little things for us to do right now. Liz is working on getting a hair stylist for me and a few of the bridesmaids for the wedding day. Going to start putting the favors together next week with Ralph's mom. Recording all of the RSVP's and starting to look at table seating for the reception. Figuring out when people will start arriving into town/travel arrangements/and making sure friends and family have accomodations....etc etc...
It's pretty fun, now that most of the big things are done, it's just keeping all of the smaller details under control. But Ralph, Liz and our moms have been a big help - Thank You!!

We're back! Had an awesome time on our Carribbean cruise. Got to swim with Sting Rays in Grand Cayman, sipped a yard-o-daquiri on the Costa Maya Mexico beach front, got to ride horses thru the Cozumel frontier with Mayan ruins, and tubed thru the rain forest and thru caves down in Belize Central America. Even when we weren't on an adventure, we were having fun on board the ship... Ralph won on a spoon relay race team on the first night (but bent the spoon... ask him for details in person), Liana won a Love & Romance quiz (Rated PG) on the last day, and we even battled each other on teams of five in a Battle of the Sexes game (the men cheated). Got lots of sun, saw lots of shows and ate lots of good food. Ralph grandfather and family were excellent company too.
Back to the real world now... work and wedding plans. Only 2 1/2 months to go! Sending invitations later this week. Let us know in a few weeks if you didn't get one!
Love Ralph & Liana

We're leaving on a Jet Plane.... today! Yea!!! Ralph and I are both really excited for our cruise. We fly today, sail tomorrow! Warm weather, Sandy beaches, Salty water, and relaxation... ahhhhh.... :-)

Ralph and I got back from Kalamazoo yesterday. We had a wonderful visit with my family and my Mom threw an awesome shower! It was wonderful to see everyone (all the friends and family). Now, Ralph and I are just trying to find places for all of the new gifts! Gotta get back to unpacking the gifts and packing for the cruise! Yipee! {big smile}

The wedding is almost 3 months away now.... so exciting! My Maid of Honor, Liz, is coming over tomorrow to help me finish up the invitations (sealing, stamping, etc).
Finalized the menu last night for the Reception as well. Should be Yummy!!!
Ralph and I are doing well. We're pretty confident that we have most of the "big" things taken care of now. It's just lots and lots of little things that keep popping up. Hair appointments, dress fittings, table centerpieces, etc. But it's all been really fun. (Like our 'humerous' cake topper!)
There is really not too much 'big news' anymore. We are excited because the showers are coming up and so is our Carnival Cruise. (Costa Maya, Cozumel, Grand Caymen and Belize!!) Yea!!
We hope everyone stays warm in Michigan/Ohio while we are sunning in the Caribbean!

My Uncle Don passed away yesterday. Please keep the Allers family in your prayers, especially my cousins Chris and Wendy, my grandma Joyce, my father and my uncle Bob.

So many new things!
We have received the invitations that we ordered... now we just need to address them all... (hand cramps!) They are perfect - exactly what we wanted.
I have also chosen to design menus for the reception. That way all of the guests know what to expect for appetizers, dinner and dessert! (YUM!)
We have the cake topper, guest book, and I have also designed the table seating visuals (what, did you think you'd just get 'table one, table two' from us?)
I've made an appointment to get a trial hair-do for the wedding in May, too. Which reminds me, I still need to take my dress in to get the final fitting and alterations. So much to do!
Apparently, the best man and maid of honor have been starting bachelor/bachelorette party plans... woo-woo!
Also, all of the members of the wedding party have ordered their attire. We do have one new wedding party member now. Cody Lewis will be the ringbearer! He will be so adorable!
Just under 4 months to the wedding (so exciting!).

We now have invitations ordered!! Ralph and I were very lucky to find the 'perfect' invitation for us while we were recently in Kalamazoo. Ralph had wanted a very ornate, traditional invitation, while I was leaning toward a very not-so-traditional invitation. However, we both spotted this one at the same time and said.. "That's the one!!". We've seen the proofs already, and should have then in a week or two. Then comes the fun fun fun of addressing them all!!
We are both getting really excited now... 1 1/2 months until one shower. 2 months to our Caribbean cruise. 2 1/2 months to another shower. And 4 1/2 months until the wedding!! And what is also fun, is we have four couples we know that are all starting to plan their weddings as well. But seeing that ours is closer, we've been able to answer a lot of questions for the others. That's been very cool.
Oh, I've also been working on the programs for the ceremony. I've very happy because I've figured out a way to design and manufacture them myself!
One other thing we've done recently is pick out gifts for the wedding party & parents... hey, I'm not going to tell you what they are here!! You'll just have to wait and see!!

PS - thank you to all of our parents for working so hard to help us plan this day. It's not always a picnic, but we also couldn't do it without you and your help. And we wouldn't want to do it without you!!!
PPS - and remember how much we love you when it comes time to help us with the seating arrangements at the reception!!! {smile}

My mom and I had success at David's Bridal last weekend.. she found her mother-of-the-bride attire, and I found shoes and a veil. I also went back to David's a few days ago with my Maid-of-Honor so she could pick out her dress.
Other things we've worked on lately?... Ceremony music and Reception music. We were quite lucky that Ralph's friend from college, who is a retired DJ, agreed to do our wedding!
Oh, and we have picked out invitations, we just need to get them ordered!!! (so busy now!)
We are both starting to get quite excited (and a little nervous) seeing as though we just passed our 5 month mark!! We're learning, after our scheduling meeting with Mark Bak (the photographer), how choreographed, yet busy, the wedding day will be! We are also learning the hard way that although people say "it's your day, you should do what you want", it's really not that cut and dry with families involved.

Today I'm going to David's Bridal with my mom to look for a dress for her to wear to the wedding. We are also going to look at tiaras/veils for me.
Other updates.... we have our wedding rings now. We had them designed for us by Peter at Elias Diamonds (no website). They're beautiful! Both are in white gold.
Also, we've completed our Catholic wedding class with Tom Donahoo thru Oakland Community College. And my cathecism classes are going well too. I've chosen a family friend, Linda Huss, to be my godparent at the baptism ceremony. I'm honored that she accepted the postion.
And there are even more classes in our future. We met with Father Brian (the priest who will preside over our ceremony), on Thursday who scheduled us for a class in March to actually plan our wedding ceremony. Plus, we have to meet with the Deacon to discuss marriage and children issues. So much to do, so little time!
That's it for now, we hope to start looking at invitations in the next week or two... we'll keep you posted!

ANYONE NEEDING A TUX (GROOMSMEN and FATHERS)
Okay, here is the lowdown on getting your tuxes. We are renting the tuxes from After Hours, the store directly affiliated with David's Bridal so that they can match the color of the Bridesmaid dresses. So what does this mean for you? Actually the process they laid out for me is pretty simple. I have already gone in and entered in exactly what type of tuxes everybody needs (style, accent color, etc.). All you need to do is the following:
Before the end of February, go to ANY tuxedo place (preferably the closest After Hours, which you can find on www.afterhours.com,) and get yourself measured for a tuxedo. DO NOT actually sign up or rent a tux at this time. Instead make sure you get your measurements written down for you so you can leave the store with them. Then, you need to call the After Hours in Troy, Michigan, at phone number (248) 616-3027. Tell them you are with either the Zerbonia or Allers wedding party and then give them your name. Everybody who needs a tux has been entered into their system. They will ask you for your measurements and then they will ask you for a credit card number to pay for the tux. This is the only way for them to reserve the tux for you. The total price to you should be $104.99. We did our best to make it as affordable as possible for everyone without getting the bottom of the barrell tuxes (which were maybe only $20 less when all was said and done).
I will be checking in with everyone in mid-February to either confirm that their tux has been reserved or to bug them to go get measured and call in their measurements. Two days before the wedding (Thursday July 15th) we will be able to pick up all of the tuxes and everyone should be in town that day or the next (Friday) for the rehersal and rehersal dinner, so you should all have a chance to try on the tuxes in case anyone needs last minute alterations. You can also get remeasured a month before the wedding at your local tux place and call After Hours back with any new measurements, in case your size may have changed.
That's about it. If any of this is confusing, e-mail me or call me. Also, if you are local (Adam, Matt, Dad Z) we can go together sometime in the next month to get you fitted if that works for you. Okay guys, go get yourself fitted and I will check back with everyone in February.

Hey, it's Ralph. Haven't posted for a while, but hoping to post regularly in the future. For the groomsmen, look for tux info coming soon. Very excited that the wedding is less than 6 months away!

Everyone Ready? A lot was accomplished this weekend!!!
First of all, Ralph decided on a tuxedo style through After Hours (Davids's Bridal's sister store). He chose an After Hour's Tux w/two buttons (black). Herringbone vest w/regular tie (no bow tie). Ralph will be in Platinum, the groomsmen in Hunter green and the Dad's in Black. So if any of you groomsmen or dads read this before we talk to you, call us and we'll tell you what to do about measurements and ordering. (oh, by the way... Ralph opted for the more comfortable shoe instead of the fancier shoe, to put some of your minds at ease who will be wearing them as well).
Secondly, we chose a florist and ordered our flowers. Upon my manager's recommendation (btw, we work at Artus), we chose Farmington Florist (and I don't believe they have a website). Ralph and I were really excited because we thought we were going to have to skimp on arrangements because of other costs, but we were pleasantly surprised that we could afford our first choices! Now, we are not having alter pieces or other miscellaneous arrangements, however, we are having about 6 bouquets, 18 bouteniers and 14 corsages. OH MY!! This ties in really well with how difficult it's been with trying to find ways to include lots of our friends and family. So let us apologize now, if you don't get asked to do something for the wedding, we still love you!! (there's only so much to do in one 30-45 minute ceremony!)
I guess all of the ceremony talk brings me into religious discussion. It will be a Catholic ceremony, but we'll try to make it as short as possible!! :-) That said, Yes I will be baptized. My baptism will be on Saturday April 10th, 2004 at St. Fabian's Church and everyone is welcome to attend. (apparently the priest who will marry us, Father Brian, loves to drench his adult baptismal people, so it should be humorous as well!).
And if all of this wasn't enough, Ralphy and I registered for gifts this weekend too. Now let me say that although it was tons of fun, it was also weird too. Lots of people told us to register for more than we might need, to anticipate for the future; however, we shouldn't seem too greedy. Ack! So we decided to register at Marshall Fields for china and a few other nicer things, and Bed Bath and Beyond for everything else. You should be able to visit either web site and type in our names to view/purchase things online. So, pass the word around I guess, because wedding books say not to include registry cards in wedding invitations, only shower invitations. .... That said, invitations are probably next on the list!!!
Give us a holler if you see something we registered for and you know it sucks. (so we can delete it or find a different one) :-)
We are getting really excited because.....
It's less than 6 months away!!!!!!

Our holidays were wonderful! It was actually nice to spend time with our families without doing wedding planning. However, we are back in full swing now.
I'm patiently awaiting a favor sample (no, I'm not going to tell you what it is) that my mother has ordered for me. Also, we're looking at invitations and should be getting a sample of the one we like best so far. Don't expect a "traditional" invitation from us!!
I'm excited that all of the bridesmaids have picked out their dresses and will be able to order them soon. Guess what that means.... the boys are next!!! Ralph will look so handsome in a tux!

Surprise, surprise... my dress has arrived early! I purchased a nice garment bag for it and it is hanging up at our place. (Ralph has promised not to peek!)
We're still getting some flower ideas, but if there is anyone in the SE MI area who could suggest florists, we would appreciate it!
Getting close to the holidays! We are both excited to see our families... we get to see the Zerbonia's for Thanksgiving in Ohio and the Allers' a few days later for Tree Decorating. I'm also excited to take Siree and Panida dress shopping Saturday at Davids Bridal. After they choose their dresses, the rest of the women in our bridal party can order their dresses!
Happy Thanksgiving!!

It's been a while since we've posted, but we have lots of cool info to share now!! My dress has been ordered from David's Bridal and should arrived in a few months. Also, we have booked a photographer! Bak Photography will be around, not only for the wedding and reception, but on the road and at our home before the wedding. We booked Mark Bak, if you're looking at the website. To top that off, we have also found a D.J... Ralph's friend Scott that he met as a grad student at Eastern Michigan University. Ralph and I have also discovered a really cool reception favor we want to pass out to all of you, but I can't tell you because it would spoil the surprise!!We starting to get flower ideas now, but that's about all we've decided upon. Call or email us if you want more details. :-)

If any of you didn't hear... Yes, we finally got moved into our townhouse (DURING THE BLACKOUT). We had reserved two moving trucks for Friday and Saturday that we couldn't pick up. Finally that Sunday (several mini-van trips later) we finished moving. We think our place looks pretty cool now, if you haven't seen it. Front stoop, back porch (with new grill), and three floors... basement (with washer/dryer), and two bedrooms on the second floor.
Now that we've moved, the wedding planning should be picking back up. I think I may have found my dress, and in the next month or two, we should decide on a photographer.
Ralph keeps joking that he wants to wear a frilly powder-blue tuxedo (I think he will look handsome in anything!)
Also, the last 2 months have been very exciting. We have had a couple of opportunities to meet each others extended family. Although both families have joked if the fiance is "scared off yet", I think we've both felt very welcomed. Thank you to both of our families for being open and inviting with Ralph and I.

If you're reading this and you're not sure if we have your current address/phone, please update us!!!

Busy Busy Busy. We have the keys to our townhouse now, and the big move will happen in two weeks. Even though it's not enjoyable to move again, we're both pretty excited to have a home that will be a "home" for a while.
Not much new on the wedding front. In the next few months, though, that should pick back up again. Photographers and Flowers and Cakes oh my!
FYI: with a new move, comes a new address, email and phone #. We're planning on sending letters to everyone with all of our new information, but we can't send you a letter, without your new info.! (if you think we might not have you're latest information, please send us an email in the next few days). Thank you!!

Wedding Update: There isn't too much new because there are not too many decisions that have needed to be made since the hall and church. However, I enjoyed a visit from my Mom recently - we spent a day dress shopping at David's Bridal. It was funny because most of the dresses I marked in their catalog didn't look right on me but the one we thought looked weird ended up looking the best! I would write down what the dress # is, but I don't want Ralph to know!
Apartment Update: We finally decided on where to live. We found a really nice two bedroom townhouse in Oak Park. (full basement - yea!!). We move at the end of August if anyone would like to help (hint hint).

It's official now. July 17th 2004 we will have a wedding! Yea! Visit here to see the church St. Fabian. Visit here to see the reception hall Joy Manor (we're in the Victorian Room). Now, Ralph and I get to take a breather for a few months and concentrate on where we are going to live. Apartment vs Condo vs house.... and we thought we were going to be busy with just the wedding! :-)
P.S. - if we told you about this site, you can pencil in July 17th 2004 on your calander.
-Liana

This is Ralph. It is June 02, 2003 and already the wedding craze is on. I feel like we have been planning this wedding for a long time now and it really has only been a week or so. Actually, it has been quite a bit of fun to see all of the various choices that are out there for everything you could possibly think of. The problem is that there are so many things you don't think of that come into play before you know it. But the rollercoaster is just beginning, and I know that everyone is excited and maybe a little scared for it is the first wedding for both of our families in terms of the "planning" aspect of the wedding. But even though some days are more stressful then others, things have been pretty good so far, Liana and I have been on the same page and have had fun looking at magazines, going through books, and even going to look at reception type places. This process would be completely unbearable without her, but somehow I always get sucked into her excitement about the wedding, and find myself having a good time no matter what preperations we seem to be doing. Granted, we are still a year away and I might be a little more resilant to the "excitement" factor when we get a month away from the wedding, but I don't think so. I am super excited on my own to be marrying the girl of my dreams, and add her excitement to mine and you find one big motivational couple who is able to face any wedding hassles that might come along. Got to get back to work, but thought I would try this posting thing out.

First Entry... testing testing testing.... if you have not already heard, We're Engaged!!!
Ralph George Zerbonia and Liana Marie Allers announce their engagement.
Engaged May 23, 2003.
Check here weekly for wedding updates! woo-hoo!
