Miss Martini's Picture
Miss Martini, New Jersey Age and Occupation: 30, Telecom by day, Superhero by night Fiance's Age and Occupation: 32, Investments & Finance by day, Hip hop dancer by night Engagement Date: May 24, 2008 Wedding Date: March, 2009 Blogging Since: August 18, 2008 Venue: The Venetian About Me: Things that make me happy: Haribo Happy Cola gummies, TV shows on DVD, buying books although I never read them, 80’s rock ballads, ramen, and of course Mr. Martini! He is the calm, logical and number crunching finance guy. I can’t even multiply double digit numbers in my head and I am so indecisive that trying to choose between light green or slightly lighter green paper stresses me out (Wedding planning is going to be soooo much fun). We both find great joy in nabbing great seats at the movie theater for a blockbuster movie on opening weekend, and we are both absolutely crazy about snowboarding. And he loves to cook, I love to eat!

Our Honeymoon Depends On the Dollar

October 25th, 2008 @ 1:07 pm by Miss Martini

In an email I got from Mr. Martini recently, he added:

“Btw the dollar is still rising… vs the Euro, it has gone from $1.67/ 1Euro to $1.28 / 1euro. That’s like a 25% discount for us… let’s hope it keeps going.”

Why has he been keeping an eye out for the dollar fluctuations in Europe? Because we’re desperate to go to Europe for our honeymoon! France, to be exact. The only time I’ve ever really left the country as an adult were a few trips to Niagara Falls (the Canadian side is soooo much better than the USA side), and Jamaica last year with Mr. Martini.

When we were thinking about where we could go on our honeymoon, everyone advised that we go the Caribbean. “You’ll want to take it easy,” they told us. We considered going to a beachy location, but neither of us are beach people and dangit, we don’t want to relax! Jamaica was great fun, but we didn’t relax one bit, and actually felt as if we needed a vacation from our vacation by the time we got home. I think we spent an hour max just sitting on the beach the entire duration of our stay. It didn’t take long for us to get restless, so we signed up for just about every activity we could get our hands on. We literally came back to the hotel just to eat and sleep. Sometimes I think it was a bit of a waste because we didn’t take advantage of the gorgeous resort, the Gran Bahia Principe, which at the time was the newest and largest resort in Jamaica.

About Mrs. Ant

Modern Bride : Can you remember other parts of the wedding that were emotional/ memorable and how they made you feel?

After dinner and dessert, it actually started to rain. At first, I was worried because our wedding was set up outdoors. The resort does have an alternate venue in case of inclement weather, but it would have meant interrupting the party to move the reggae band, the DJ’s equipment, etc.

Well, there was absolutely no need to worry because my crazy guests got up and started dancing in the rain!

Isle Style: The Unbridaled Story

May 12th, 2008 @ 2:02 pm by Mrs. Ant

Unfortunately, Modern Bride was limited to a 2-page spread and couldn’t fit in some of my favorite stories or the wilder photos. Fortunately, I happen to have my own personal publishing platform. (Hooray for blogs!) So I’m going to share the inside scoop on the parts of the interview that didn’t make it into the magazine spread.

MB : The editor really liked that you and Mr. Ant had personalized vows and just wanted to get a little more specific about them. It’s completely understandable if you want to keep it personal. But was there at least a theme you would say was most prevalent throughout them (trust, friendship, etc.)?
