Hello everyone! The wedding is just around the corner! A lot of you are coming in from out of town, and my father, Gerry, has graciously offered to pick up anyone from the airport. So if you need a ride, let one of us know so we can get your information (flight times, airline, etc) to Gerry. Can't wait to see everyone! Lindsay

We have sent out all but a few Invitations. Everyday we are checking the mail and getting your replys back! Thank you for your quick returns!!!! Make sure your replys is sent back by mid April We will be having the final sit down with the venue around the last two weeks of April to give final numbers.

Ok so we had an unexpected delay with our invitations after getting them printed and put in envelopes addresses and ready to go we noticed one of the invitations had an ink smudge. We checked the others and turned out all the ink was smudging on every invitation...GRRR... So, we switched print companies and now have our new invitations which are going to be addressed and stuffed today. They should be in your hands by the end of this week, Hopefully!

Considering several factors, we have decided to not allow children at the wedding ceremony and reception. Some of the contributing factors are: The Villa Antonia is mostly stone with lots of stairs and many drop offs with long falls. There is limited space for seating at the reception. There will be an open bar. Considering these factors among others we determined it would be safer to not have children attend. Debating over what ages were ok we came to the conclution that it would be best to limited the age to 18 and over. We believe that it is in the best intrest of all our guest that children not be allowed at the wedding. Thank you for your understanding

We have printed our invitations and they should be on the way out shortly so keep a close eye on your mail box.
