WE'LL BE LIVING AT THE ENCLAVE IN DELRAY BEACH

We've decided to live at The Enclave, in Delray Beach. Those of you who attended our engagement party in December (or have visited Phil in the past) are familiar with the complex. Phil has lived in the community since December of 2000. Our new place (a three bedroom townhouse) will be around the corner from Phil's current residence.

THIS DAY IN HISTORY

In 1904, a fire began in Baltimore that raged for about 30 hours and destroyed more than 1,500 buildings.

In 1906, 100 years ago, Pu Yi, the last emperor of China, was born in Beijing.

In 1936, President Roosevelt authorized a flag for the office of the vice president.

In 1944, during World War II, the Germans launched a counteroffensive at Anzio, Italy.

In 1964, The Beatles began their first American tour as they arrived at New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport.

And finally, also in 1964, Marlene & Chuck McGowan celebrated the birth of their first daughter, Cynthia.

Happy Birthday, Cindy!!!!

THE FLAMINGO ROOM

The site of our wedding reception has been chosen - it is The Flamingo Room, on Federal Highway in Delray Beach. The Flamingo Room is located behind Ellie's 50's Diner.


The reception will begin immediately after the wedding mass on May 6. More details to come. Until then, here are a few pictures.

PENCIL IN MAY 6TH

We are happy to tentatively announce that we are proceeding with May 6, 2006 as the planned date for our wedding. Of course, until all of the i's are dotted and t's crossed, this date can't be certain. So for now, pencil it in. As soon as more details are available they will be posted. Keep checking back.

THE PARTY'S OVER

We would like to thank everyone who attended our Engagement Party last night, and for all of the wonderful gifts. Your being there made a special event that much more special.

We hope you had a good time and had enough to eat and drink. We look forward to seeing you all again in the near future.

THANKS AGAIN!!!

THE PARTY'S TONIGHT!!!

27 Adults - 8 Kids -> That's the final tally of expected guests for our party tonight. We look forward to seeing everybody and hope that you all have a great time.

Before the week is out pictures of the event will be available for viewing via the Photos link.

DRESS COMFORTABLY FOR TOMORROW'S PARTY

Since there are many of you coming to our Engagement Party on December 30th, please dress comfortably - keeping the outside temperature (expected to be between 60-70 degrees) in mind since the balcony doors and all of the windows will be open.

Please be careful not to park in "No Parking" zones. While there are a few spots available in front of Phil's place, if possible please park by the clubhouse in order to leave the closer spaces available for those who may find it difficult to walk from the clubhouse.

In order to access the complex, please use code 1602. If you have any questions, please drop us an email at philandcindy2006@yahoo.com or call either Phil or Cindy.

We look forward to seeing you!!!

ENGAGEMENT PARTY RESPONSES

We have been pleasantly surprised by all of you who have responded and are coming. Nearly all of the responses are in and almost everyone is coming!!! Considering this is the holiday season and you all have many things planned, we are grateful that you have chosen to spend time with us on the 30th.

For those of you who can't attend, please check back after January 2nd to view pictures from the party.

ARE WE REGISTERED ANYWHERE?

To date we have not registered anywhere. The issue that faces us is that since we are combining two households, it is hard to come up with ideas of what we need. In many cases (i.e., wine glasses, small appliances, etc.) we have more than we'll ever need.

With that in mind, we are mulling over items we may need and as soon as we have a list, we will be registering.

WANT TO SEND AN EMAIL?

Our new email address is: philandcindy2006@yahoo.com. If you drop us an email, you will receive an invitation to be a member of our blog, which will allow you to respond to posts.

Please note, if you have an email address that does not readily identify you, please send your name in the email.

Engagement Party

The invitations are on their way for the December 30th engagement party!!!
