...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

i love it!
 
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?

I agree that the site ought to make for some really pretty pictures.

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

Do you have any pictures of the church inside, it is so cool looking!
 
Yay! that''s also great!!! Good luck with all the planning! That church looks pretty cool!
 
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

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.
