Glad Tidings!

Well, a month has gone by since the marriage. It is amazing how quickly things become nostalgic! We have been so tremendously blessed with the family and friends that God has sent us. It was such a memorable and beautiful day.

The honey moon was both unorthodox and wonderful. (This story will have to wait for another post.)

Currently, we are both in Miami. Rosita is commuting to Boston nine times this semester to continue her program. I am settling down to teach and continue my studies. We are both extremely happy and more in love each day!

Life keeps getting better and we will give updates here to let you know what is going on. (many many many wedding pictures to be here soon.)

The Church for our Wedding

Well, we are very blessed to have the church for our wedding. We will be having it at Riverside Presbyterian Church.

The church is not only very beautiful, but it also happens to be the place where I was baptized. The organist for the wedding also happens to be one of my first piano teachers.

We are also very happy to announce that we will not have the confusion of having the reception at a different location. We will be using the lovely Bittinger Hall (One of the church's halls) for the reception.

Photography and other sundry items

Finding the best photographer is proving to be a challenge. Most seem to be already reserved for the day of the wedding. Hmmm ... this is going to take some careful investigation. I'm somewhat tempted to get the camera myself and take pictures of the bride while she is walking down the isle ... just kidding.

In the meantime, Rosita and I are starting to see the wedding plans take shape. It was so difficult to do very much during the last two semesters. Now that we can really focus our attention on it, things are getting done. We have also enjoyed watching some of our favorite shows together (McGyver for instance) on DVD. We have also started to explore a little bit of Boston. Both of us think that this is one of the most beautiful cities in the U.S.

It is important, however, that our relationship never gets lost in the shuffle. This is why we have decided to set time aside every day for prayer and scripture reading. This has proven to be invaluable to us as we prepare for our marriage.

A note from Marion - Wedding invitations befuddle...

Youch! It is two months before the wedding and the invitations have still not been mailed. After a brief moment of shock Rosita and I decided that the task must be done today. This has proven to be a good deal more difficult than either of us could have imagined.

I do not know how many fonts and styles there are to choose from. However, they have proven to be too much for my primitive male mind. I would think that my befuddlement was ordinary. However, to my dismay, it seems that Rosita too is sharing in my confusion.

Our ending conclusion...Simple and elegant is the way to go...More to come...
