Mrs. Firefly, New York Age and Occupation in 06: 31, Attorney Fiance's Age and Occupation: 35, Finance Engagement Date: April 11, 2004 Wedding Date: June, 2006 Venue: Battery Gardens 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!

Cake Ordered!

I don’t have a picture, but its a combination of the two hydrangea cakes from my previous post.

The flowers will be light green and there will be a light green “ribbon” on each tier. It’s pretty, but not “wow” … but I can live with that. The main cake will be 3 tiers - 100 servings and there will be another sheet cake for 50 additional servings. This saved us around $500 over getting a 4-tier cake! There are so many little ways that you can save money and it all does add up in the end.

We could have saved an additional $400 by skipping the flowers all together and doing a bow on top or going with fresh flowers instead. I think I want the sugar flowers, but I might change my mind if the wedding expenses start going overboard.
