Thursday November 20, 2008 -- Just -81 days until the wedding!

The Parents

We would like to express our gratitude and thanks to the people who have raised us and shaped us into who we are today.

Harold and Patty are very close to their two daughters and speak with them on the phone almost daily. Through their support Angie has grown up in a strong, loving environment. Patty has been instrumental in helping us plan for our wedding and is always there for advice. Harold couldn’t love his daughters more and is best known for his traditions, such as the mandatory viewing of Holiday Inn every Christmas or the purchasing and opening of a particular bottle of wine aged in the same birth-year as his daughters the night of their wedding. We cannot thank them enough for providing the finances for the wedding and for welcoming Mike with such open arms. They presently live in New York City with dog Hector.

Steven and Michelle have supported Mike in all his endevours since day one and provided a loving, caring home. Steve is more likely to impart words of Eastern Philosophy at the wedding than anything else. He is a headstrong father who had to raise two young boys for a period of 5 years before he met Michelle Ferreira. After their marriage when Mike was 10 years old, Jeff and Mike were fortunate to have two more brothers and a step-mother whose ablility to cook blew Dad's TV dinners out of the water! They adore Angie and have also welcomed her into their lives with open arms. They presently live in Phoenix with dogs Buddy and Beatrice.

WE LOVE YOU GUYS MORE THAN YOU CAN KNOW!!!
THANKS FOR BEING OUR PARENTS!
