Welcome to the world, little Layne!

Showered With Love by Allevato Family and Friends

How lucky I am to be welcomed into such a beautiful family as the Allevatos!
Angela, Mrs. Allevato, and Zia Cathy hosted a fabulous shower for me at Angela's house. It was so fun to visit with Tony's aunts, cousins, and friends!

A Walk in the Park

Okay, so I absolutely LOVE our photo- grapher!!! We took our engage- ment pictures at MacArthur Park

(adjacent to the Park Plaza, our reception venue) and she let us bring Daisy!! Tony was less than enthused to go strolling through the park followed by Raya and her camera, but Daisy and I had a GREAT time! Guess it's more of a girl thing...click on the link below for the slideshow of some of the pictures.

Showered With Love by Lima Family and Friends

The Lima Ladies threw me the most beautiful, perfect bridal shower I could have ever imagined!

Aunt Velene made miniature wedding cakes out of the "bunny cake" recipe - my favorite!!!

And the tables were filled with pictures of Tony and me as kids.

Me and my maids and flower girl...

And I got a lovely coursage to wear delivered by, of course, my flower girl!

Happy Easter!!!

What a beautiful Easter Sunday...a perfect sunny day, the whole family went to Mass together, and we started a new tradition, sharing Midori Sours at the Goldens'...just think, in seven months, we will be lined up very similarly, but a LOT more dressed up!
