...psych.. Just kidding, I really do have an announcement to make, it's just not of the preggo type - lol!  We set a date for our wedding.  We're  getting married on April 23, 2009 at St. Stanislaus Church in La Romana, DR.  I'm beyond excited because this is a little church that I've had my heart set on getting married in for the last couple of years and now that it's confirmed I'm thrilled!


Here's a picture of the church.  It's located in a Spanish-inspired cultural/artists' village called Altos de Chavon. 
Isn't it beautiful?  I'm in love

And, for anyone who cares, here's a link to more pictures of the church and village.  It's so rustic and pretty and just perfect for the kind of intimate and Latin-inspired feel we want for our wedding.  Okay, can you tell I'm excited?

Skippy – thanks! Haha, I figured the header of my thread would grab everyone’s attention – lol

ILTW – thank you! Those are all the things we love about it too I agree that the site ought to make for some really pretty pictures.

Sarah – yah! Thanks, it feels great to have this taken care of; now we’ve just got to solidify arrangements with a hotel and then we can send out our invitations

Freke – thank you! You’ve been quiet around here these days, how’re you doing? FI and I actually wanted to get married on April 22, but the priest couldn’t do it – I’ll still have a drink or two for you though

Pjean – you’re so cute and super sweet, thanks! You’re getting me all excited again

Honey – thank you! Now, it’s your turn – when are we going to see pix of your wedding venue

You're terrible, I clicked on it because I said "I have to make sure I don't forget anyone who announced they're pregnant!)

But anyway - the place is gorgeous, and how special that it's a place you had your heart set on!  Congrats on setting the date, too!

Thing2, Harriet, 04Diamond – Thank you so much

Claudinam – haha! You’re funny! I swear I won’t make anymore “false” announcements Thanks, I'm pretty excited that everything seems to be coming together. I'm just keeping my fingers crossed that the hotel we want works out too.

Skippy – at your request… It's hard to tell, but behind the iron gate is the altar. I'm guessing it's this way to protect everything from tourists when the church is not being used for a mass or wedding ceremony.
