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
