Wedding Wrap-up

Hi folks,

Some time ago y'all offered a lot of helpful suggestions as to where I could have my NJ wedding and rehearsal dinner. After doing a fair amount of internet research and making more than a few phone calls, we opted to have the wedding at Highlawn Pavilion and the rehearsal dinner at Harold's NY Deli (since most of our out-of-town guests stayed at the Holiday Inn--thanks to Rachel Perlow for suggesting that!!).

I doubt anything could have worked out better! Our contacts at both places made it incredibly easy for us to plan everything from Texas, and everything, right down to the last detail, was perfect. Highlawn Pavilion turned out to be a gorgeous site, which was lucky since we had both our wedding and reception there. In fact, prior to the public ceremony we had our ketubah signing downstairs in the wine cellar, which was beautiful.

Anyway, across the board, the food was wonderful, the service and people working with us were amazing. Attentive, considerate, and most of all, great at keeping the stress levels way down...

So thanks again or the input, everyone!

Congratulations and a long happy life together!

Practice. Do it over. Get it right.

Mostly, I want people to be as happy eating my food as I am cooking it.

Congratulations, Fitz, and best wishes.

I've heard many fine reports on the Highlawn's wedding receptions and I'm happy your ceremony went so well.

Apparently it's easier still to dictate the conversation and in effect, kill the conversation.

Yes, congratulations to Fitz and Luggage!

And are you off to Slovenia for your honeymoon?

We're planning a grand feast at the local cooking school and I hope you are back in time to be there.

I don't understand why rappers have to hunch over while they stomp around the stage hollering.  It hurts my back to watch them. On the other hand, I've been thinking that perhaps I should start a rap group here at the Old Folks' Home.  Most of us already walk like that.

Fitz signs a ketubah? FITZ? What was your name before you changed it??

No, seriously, it's great that everything worked out so well. May the two of you have many, many years together to have fun, learn, argue, and support each other. :sniff: :sniff: (I love marriage)

Yes, well... Fitz is actually about an 1/8 Irish but identifies strongly in that direction! The rest goes toward the Polish side; hence, much kielbasi, pierogi, kapusta and such... But a little ketubah-signing never hurt anyone...

Jaymes, much as we'd both love to get back to Slovenia, we simply spent a few days knocking around Manhattan (dinner at Babbo, kunch at Aquavit, etc.). We'll spend the next few months redcorating the new house, and then go to Hawaii in September. With any luck, we ought to be able to make the next Austin dinner out...

Gee, if I knew how to post a picture, we'd put up a darned entertaining one... (And by the way, for all you Jersey types, I made sure to take Wes to Jimmy Buff's when we got to NJ...)
