Wedding Update

Plans are not set yet for our potential Fall '08 wedding date; causing sleepless nights and trepidation in the Warren-Borelli household. We are weighing the merits of Hollister, Aptos and San Francisco locations. Our hopeful choice of Pietra Winery is on hold as they determine if doing a wedding after 2 years is going to work for them during wine making season.

Also looking into churches and chapels. Reading The Knot book and browsing online with HereComesTheGuide.com and more.

Some advice we've been given is to not reveal too much and therefore open your plans up for debate and potential let down, but I'm of the open book variety, always have been. The bride-to-be and I are of a bit different thinking on things, so we have our own compromising (read: convincing) to do. But it'll be fun to get creative and do some things traditionally and others with our own flair and uniqueness. Of course, time, money and the like are great equalizers.

We've been in touch with some ol' friends after long absences as a result of the engagement and have enjoyed reconnecting. We thank all those who sent nice engagement cards, I didn't even know that was so common.

Gia's brother Stephen took some engagement pictures of us on Christmas/Proposal Day and one is posted on previous post. I'm hoping to get the others to share soon. Meanwhile here's one of Gia and my future brother-in-law, Frank.

I bet Gia & Carla still call him "Frankie" anyway, that's how I know him. You look the same, Frankie. Can't wait to see more pictures. Hang in there, come to a compromise, it'll make you both much happier in the end. -Anita

Thanks Anita, Cefe and Tia Maria for the encouraging comments. We are working diligently to come up with a location and date. News to follow soon.
P.S. I think our matching colors was a total accident when dressing for Christmas dinner and Gia's brother Steve happened to be set up for portrait photos.
