We can't believe that it has been 10 years since we first met during our New Teacher Workshops in South Huntington.  I still remember Jim coming into the computer lab soaking wet(and late of course) and leaning over to me asking me what we were supposed to be doing. My first thought… Wow what a cutie!  Jim, of course, has no recollection of this J After a few years of being friendly co-workers, we began hanging around together more and more doing the things we love most.  Super long marathon beach days, barbeques at the infamous Liegey Island, mountain biking, wine tasting, and so much more seemed to fill up our time together. Our circle of friends would hit Bell Boulevard for dinner and drinks on the weekends, and as a surprise to us we became Michelle and Jim before we knew it! Now here we are planning the rest of our lives together. 

We will be getting married at 4:00 P.M. in the Church of Saint Mary in Manhasset, New York. We are counting down the days until we say "I do!"  

Our reception will follow at the Swan Club in Glenwood Landing.  We are looking forward to celebrating our wedding day with our family and closest friends.  We hope to see all of you there for cocktails, dinner, dancing, and lots of celebrating!

We would like to thank our parents for all of their generosity, time, patience, and support throughout our lives, but an extra HUGE thank you, hugs, and kisses for all of your assistance with our wedding this year.  We love you all. XOXOXO

We also cannot forget to thank Annette for all of her support, insight, and guidance. 

Thank you to the Traina, Fox, and Minson families for all of your creativity, guidance, generosity, and suggestions. 

Since we have never planned a wedding before, and don't plan on doing it again, your ideas and creativity are much appreciated. 

Our bridal party already deserves our warmest thanks.  Kristen (Maid of Honor/Sister), Carina (Matron of Honor), Paul (Best Man), Mike (Best Man), Kimberly(Bridesmaid/Sister), Mai Lan, Licia, Kathy, Lola, Kristin(Bridesmaids), Kevin (Groomsman/Brother),Richard, Chris, Matt, Pete, Mike (Groomsmen); we can’t tell you how happy we are to have you standing by our sides at this time of our lives.  Also, we cannot forget our little, but also important bridal members: Renee (Junior Bridesmaid/Niece), Aaron (Ring Bearer), Noelle (Junior Bridesmaid), Peyton (Niece/Unofficial Flower Girl) and Amanda (Flower Girl).  Your smiles and laughter always brighten our day!  

The guest list, location, selecting our bridal party, and even finding my wedding gown (that’s right… first salon…dress #7!) were some of the easiest decisions we have made while planning our wedding.  Our honeymoon destination; however, has not been that easy.  We will be updating our Wedding Site with more specifics as soon as we know our destination.  Feel free to suggest any beautiful, restful, beachfront, locations you think we may enjoy!  For now, we have created a honeymoon registry with items we know we will enjoy no matter where we decide to go. Thank you for being a part of this amazing experience. We’ll see you at the wedding!

For those of you who have been asking, we are also registered at Crate and Barrel and Bed Bath & Beyond.
