This is our favorite video clip from our honeymoon at Sandals, Montego Bay - we caught a couple of true party animals on film.

Just before our wedding, I bought a small digital camcorder. I waffled on it for a while - would we really use it that often? - but in the end thought it would be great to catch at least a few moments from our wedding on tape. I’m so glad we got it! Not only did we get the wedding dances on tape (I guess tape isn’t really accurate anymore - but “SD flash drive” is a mouthful) - but Kiersten’s uncle roved around doing interviews during the reception. Capturing everyone’s words to us on our wedding day was really priceless.

To Kiersten, my muse, my inspiration, and the love of my life.  Our wedding day was perfect, and I’m so happy to call myself your husband.

It’s been about 2 months since our engagement, and it’s been a whirlwind of wedding planning. But we’ve got our ceremony and reception site - the beautiful Sayre Mansion in Bethlehem, PA, and our date in June 2008. This past weekend we met with the photographer and florist, and now we’re starting to choose all of our yummy options from the caterer. Today’s task: address and send out all of our save the date cards….which are cute little magnets. The magnets, as it turned out, required assembly - they came as separate adhesive backed magnets and printed cards. Aligning the two took a little more skill than you might guess (sooo sticky!). On the plus side, we had plenty of left over adhesive backings, which are exactly business card sized. Kiersten suggested I stick them onto some of my art cards - so now I have ‘Artwork of Shawn Falchetti’ magnets. Neat!

….yes! Two weeks ago Kiersten and I spent her birthday at a beautiful bed and breakfast near New Hope, PA. We had our own cottage at Woolverton Inn, complete with a small private garden just outside the doors from our room. The grounds were filled with arbors, cobblestone fountains, lazy pastures with sheep, and scenic views. After a wonderful dinner at Sargeantsville Inn, we returned to our room, lit the fireplace, and opened a bottle of wine we’d bought from a winery during a trip to Monticello when we first started dating. It was then that I popped the question….and Kiersten accepted!
