My Bachelorette Party!
I just want to thank everyone who came to my bachelorette party for such a wonderful time!!! 8 of us (Ann, Beth, Stacy, Amy, Katie, Mitzi, Sabrina, and myself) went to South Norwalk to have dinner at Wasabi Chi (probably the best sushi restaurant in CT). Ann was so sweet and got there early and decorated the table so beautifully!!! She put a pair of roses (1 red and 1 pink) at everyone's place setting. She also put sparkly confetti/glitter over the table and ordered...

Best Airfare Deal yet to Nantes (NTE) from JFK!!!
Hi Everyone! I just found airfare on Cheaptickets.com from JFK to Nantes (NTE) via Madrid for $583 per person through Iberia Air!!! That is after taxes and fees! The return time is early but the layover is not bad at all. Here is the flight info:
Overnight Stay in Paris and Birthday plans
We're planning on staying overnight in Paris from Sept 7-8. Anyone is welcome to join us when we go into Paris. We plan to take the train in on the morning of Sept 7 and try to check into our hotel right away. We are staying at the Hotel Concorde La Fayette which we won through Priceline. We chose the Champs Elysees area for a 4 star hotel and the magic number seems to be $140. After taxes and fees, it becomes $158 total. We also booked the same bid for my...
Cheap Flights to Paris!!!
Just wanted to give everyone a heads up that round trip flights to Paris from Sept 4-12 from JFK to CDG are as low as $517 per person today through Cheaptickets.com! You can then book train tickets via the TGV to Angers for approx. $70-80 per person 1 way from CDG. The flight times are very good that you will have plenty of time to make it to your return flight out of Paris.
Plane Tix!
Ok, everyone. I hope people are planning on buying airfare soon! We currently have 8 people booked including ourselves! And, I just sent everyone in the CT/NY area info about flights. I was able to find round trip airfare from JFK to Paris for as low as $487 per person!!! You can't beat a deal like that! That was 2 days ago. I just checked today and it's now $650 per person. That's still pretty good! Who knows how long these deals are...
Congratulations are in store for Ann!
Ann's pregnant, Everyone!!! By now, I think she's about 14 wks along. We're all so happy for her. Of course we're bummed that she, Chad, and Madalin most likely won't be able to make it to the wedding, but we want her and the baby to be safe and healthy, first and foremost! In regards to the wedding, once I know definitely from Ann that she won't be able to make it, Beth will be my MOH. :-) But Ann will still be my MOH in absentia, LOL!
Counting Down - 5 Months 27 Days
So, we're finally getting things done! Mike's going to pick out a tux this weekend, maybe get started on our wedding registry, and we're working on the wording for the invitations. Talked to my mom and sister and they booked their plane tickets for the trip! Woohoo! After the wedding, they are going to take a tour of 6 countries, including Venice and Paris. I hope they enjoy it! Carrie, our travel agent, has been great working with all of us getting...
Running out of Time!
Ok, it's only 6 months and 21 days left until the wedding and I still haven't sent Save the Dates out or even ordered invitations. Luckily, I've already spoken with all of our guests and they are still definitely planning on coming and will buy plane tickets soon or have already bought their plane tickets (Woohoo!!!)! As it turns out, many people are planning extended trips and are arriving either earlier than our wedding week to tour other areas of Europe or are staying later to...
