The Alamo & Mariachi Band

Here is a picture of Joe and I at the Alamo on the 4th of July. We spent the day walking around San Antonio. We went to the El Mercado (the Mexican market) and then the Riverwalk. Joe and Annie had the best gordita I have ever had in my life at the market. The Riverwalk was actually just full of shops and restaurants, but it was fun to walk and see everything. It was really neat until we got rained on!!! We were lucky because this was at the end of our day. However, Annie really wanted to run in the rain,but it was that super hard rain that hurts.



We had a blast at the wedding. Here is a picture of me with the mariachi band. Do you think we can fly them to South Bend for our wedding? :)

They decorated my office at work! What a nice way to start back after two weeks out. They also printed the picture of Joe and I underneath the Eiffel Tower after he proposed. I've been staring at it all day. I loved that night!!!

Wedding Day

Today is wedding day!Joey has left me alone with the Italian women for 4 hours now. Not quite sure where he is at, but I am starting to get desperate with this language barrier. God only knows what I have said to them and what they are saying about me.

All the ladies get together and do their hair, makeup, and make the bed for the wedding couple. I wish I had our camera because this has been great. Rosella's bouquet is beautiful! By far the most gorgeous bouquet I have ever seen.

The wedding is in Rosella's hometown, then the reception is at hotel near Bovalino. Of course we will take 400 pictures and maybe I can post in Amsterdam.

Ciao.

Paris and Ring Pictures

I can't sleep and I am getting a better connection...here are some pics!

Mrs. Joey

Yeah! I am going to be Mrs. Joey. Last night, Joe took me to a great dinner and then to the Eiffel Tower at night. On the hour, it sparkles with lights and is gorgeous. We took some awesome pictures and then went to sit on a bench underneath. Of course, he said all the most perfect things and then asked me to be his wife. I love my ring (and Joey!) We never talked about what I would want, but he obviously knew more than me. We then celebrated by attending mass at Le Cathedrale du Notre Dame. It was probably the most beautiful mass I have ever been to. We went to a bar for some quick drinks and then headed back to the hotel to call my parents. They knew why I was calling and I think my mom was already planning the guest list. I have also heard that my cousin, my Nana, and Joe's sisters are also making plans. Just an FYI to everyone...don't be surprised if Joe and I wait just as long to have the wedding as we have been dating. :)

My 7th Wedding!

Okay, this one is still on the down low. I have a 7th wedding next year...but I can't tell you who, when or where, EXCEPT that it isn't mine. :)
