Our wedding

We planned a wedding that we thought fit our personalities best: an intimate wedding with immediate family present (10 adult guests and two children). Our wedding is less than 2 weeks away and this is what we have so far.

The insanely in love couple:

We're getting married in the Arnold Arboretum in the morning.

Our Justice of the Peace is a wonderful woman named Phyllis Blotner. I highly, highly recommend her to anyone in the area. $200 (including a meeting before the wedding).

We hired Ashley O'Dell to do our wedding photography for a couple of hours in the park. She's extremely kind and agreed to do it for $200.

After the ceremony, we booked the Wine Room (a private room) at the Oak Room. For $55, each person is going to get to choose one of two appetizers (jumbo shrimp cocktail or crab cakes), from one of four entrees (aged steak, salmon filet, pesto chicken or Maine lobster salad), a dessert, and coffee or tea.

We rented the executive suite at the Four Seasons and we are planning on inviting everyone back to our room. We will use it to spend more time with our families and then it will double as our wedding night suite. We're planning on bringing lots of desserts and wine to the room so that people can have some if they are interested.

For our wedding favors, we are planning on getting truffles in cute little boxes from Teuscher. They are about $6 each, but with 10 guests that will only be $60.

My FH's aunt makes beautiful jewelry and she is creating three bracelets. They will be gifts to my sister, FH's sister, and my brother's wife.

She is incredible at what she does. If anyone is interested in her jewelry for your wedding or anything else, you can email her at ganesh1008@comcast.net.

The excitement is overwhelming.

Dear Jane and Nate!

Congratulations!!! I am very happy for both of you. Jane was my very first friend in America. I met her in November of 1995 and she is an extremely kind, sweet, and compassionate individual. With that said, I join vlada in saying Nate, you are one lucky guy!! Enjoy your wedding day and many years ahead.

With love,

Yuliya
