All the preparation paid off; the wedding and reception were both successful. Special Thanks need to go out to some people deserving of recognition.

Our Parents

For raising us right, within reason. In addition to paying for the reception hall, Angelo surprised us with a Greek band to play at the Aquaturf. (Clarinets never sounded so merry.) Moms and Dads, Effie and I love you very much and thank you for everything you've done for us.

St. George Church and Father James

I personally thank you for accepting me into your church. Effie and I both agree that the ceremony was beautiful and well-done. Thank you again for your blessings and wisdom.

Penny Riggione, Our koumbara

Penny has been an exceptional friend and supporter throughout the wedding saga. Thank you for the beautiful silver platter and stefana; we proudly display them both in our home. There are many other innumerable ways you have helped us make our wedding into a success; you have our eternal gratitude.

The Bridesmaids and Groomsmen

All of you were essential to the success of the day. From the showers, rehearsals, and parties, you helped to create every memorable moment. Thank you for your patience through the rehearsal and the formal photo sessions. We wish you all peace and happiness.

Howard Williams

Thank you for finding and restoring this Street Fighter 2:CE arcade cabinet. This was definitely a high point of the reception. Your work provided enough distraction for the little kids (and my friends), so adults could enjoy the reception.

If people are wondering, I totally schooled my nephews. Better luck next time, kids!

Jenny Minutillo

Thank you for these totally awesome digital pictures. My parents especially thank you, since our photographer will take some more time to get us the formal albums. You rule the Land o'Foto.
