About Me: I was born in the city of Donetsk in the former Soviet Union (now the Ukraine) and grew up in Brooklyn. Many of my parent's friends are from Russia and the Ukraine as well. We want all of our guests to have a great time and hit the dance floor so we've hired a band that can play both Russian and American music; not to mention a mean rendition of the Gypsy Kings and chair-raising hora!
Michael and I are going to Manchester Vermont this weekend for a mini-vacay. We are staying at the Equinox Resort which is supposed to be really nice. I’m excited - in need of a mini-vacay! Well in need of a full-vacay, but 3 days in Vermont will hold me over for a couple of months. This is what I hope it looks like but I…

I’ve been looking through online wedding invitations and came across a site I like - Papeterie.
Most of their invitations have a little motif in the lower right-hand corner. I love it - it’s kinda unexpected and different from the other stuff out there.

My secretary is getting married in a couple of weeks. Do I give her money? A present? I know that there is nothing left on her registry. If money, how much — is $100 enough?
She has been my secretary for the past 3 or 4 months (since I’ve been back at my firm).
*Edit*
I should add that I’m not going to the wedding and wasn’t invited…

Thanks for the comments on the STDs, girls. As it turns out, we may not need save-the-dates at all. The Rockhouse will hold their rooms open for our guests until the end of January before opening them up to public reservation. This means we can send out the invitations in late November or early December to give our guests a chance to book their rooms.

I think everyone preferred the “Kissing” Picture. I’m not sure yet if I’m going to go with calender or without. I think I might also add a magnet. I couldn’t get vista print to work but I was able to design a magnet on iprint. 100 magnets will cost $49.00.
What do you guys think? Should I change the font/color of “Kelly and Michael”? Get…

Shutterfly is offering 20% off of their greeting cards so I figure now is the time to order my Save the Date Cards. I’ve tried using Vista Print, but for some reason, my pictures look very “grainy” when I upload them.
I’ve designed several different STD styles… which do you like best? With calender or without? If without the calender, does it look better with white…

BY TRACY CONNOR

Instead of spending the night in wedded bliss with bride Erica Cancel, Joseph Fortunato Jr., 29, cooled his heels in a…

Wedding planning is fun but yet it’s a bitch and a half. The worst is when you see something you really really love and you find out how much it is and then you’re like FOCK! So for those of you who live in NY and are still looking for a wedding gown here’s a list that hopefully can help you out. If you know…

Love this picture. This is where we are getting married! I haven’t been down there in months and need to swing by soon to see them set up for a wedding.
For those not familiar with New York City, Battery Park is on the southern-most tip of Manhattan. Just north (where you see the buildings) is the financial disctrict (”Wall Street”).

Photography is definitely one of the most important priorities in our wedding. But that doesn’t mean we have to spend ridiculous amounts of money for beautiful photos! I’m so glad that we found a really talented photographer who photographs weddings because he loves capturing life and precious moments… and charges a reasonable price!
