  • The table cameras have been developed and have been placed online! Just click on the picture links.

  • We did it! So far we have 3 diskettes of Carol Manzi's digital pictures, and 14 rolls from the table cameras (yes, 2-3 cameras are missing in action). We also have the video but it is on Mini-DV and it will have to wait before we can do anything with it. Pictures will be posted as we get them.

  • We went to Costco (again) and Albertsons (a grocery store) trying to finish up what we need to buy. We then went to Staples and bought the ceremony programs, which we printed up at Kathy Takamoto's. Ira worked on the program printing while Kathy sewed the favor bags, ironed the favor bags, hemmed the favor bags, and put ribbon through the favor bags. Joelle took each completed bag, put in the 18 (Chai!) Jordan Almonds and tied it shut, put on gold ribbon and a little wedding placard. This day took about 12 hours from start to finish, all on this wedding stuff. While we were at Staples, Colette came by, gave us some alcohol she picked up for us (thank you, Colette), and showed Joelle the seating cards.

  • We have learned that the cocktail party will start at 6:30, the Rabbi will show up at 6:45 to have the Ketubah signed and do a few private religious items, and then the ceremony will start at 7:30, and will last about 1/2 hour.
