Big Thanks!!

Gail — Mon, 17 May 2010 13:30:03 +0000

Quickly, before we leave on our honeymoon, Mike and I would love to extend our gratitude to all our friends and family who attended our wedding. We had a wonderful time and hope you all enjoyed it as much as we did. Like Mike said to me, it was all of our guests who made it great!

I’ve only had time to upload a few of the photos…Go to the Gail and Mike’s Wedding Site on Olapic to view them and add your own. Can’t wait to see them all!

Photo Sharing

Gail — Thu, 29 Apr 2010 18:12:22 +0000

Some of you should have received an e-mail that looks something like this:

If you didn’t, please don’t feel bad, it probably just means I don’t have your (correct) e-mail address. In any case, you are all invited to share your photos from the wedding and any other wedding weekend activites on the Olapic website. As a side note, please send you e-mail address if you’d like to be included (gailmikewedding@gmail.com).

I picked this site to share the photos on for a few reasons:

*The ability to share all photos at original size.

*Everyone can upload and download these photos for free.

*Ability to set any albums to private or to password protected. (Please advise me if there are any photos posted that you would prefer to be private.)

*Storage for one full year. After the year is up, I will have downloaded all photos, so contact me then if there are any you missed.

In short, please visit The Gail & Mike Wedding Site at Olapic to share ALL your photos! It would be MUCH appreciated!!

Bridal Shower

Gail — Sun, 25 Apr 2010 21:21:11 +0000

My friend Liz threw me a WONDERFUL wedding shower at her home today. Some family members drove up from Cape Coral and Sarasota, and there were friends from Port Orange, on the “other side”, as well as friends from the area here. It was great to have everyone there–we had a great time! Liz presented a yummy spread with mini quiche, finger sandwiches, fresh fruit and veggies with dips, cajun shrimp, and delicious cookies, to name only a few of the goodies. She also organized some funny games, including toilet-paper wedding dress, bridal bingo, and a cotton ball game. And she even provided gifts for the winners of each game! It really was a nice time!

Here are a few photos below. The full selection may be viewed at http://gailmikewedding.olapic.com .

Big Delivery Day!

Gail — Fri, 23 Apr 2010 19:48:55 +0000

Given the triste tone of the past couple of days, it was nice to receive a few more items off our registry today. (See our Registry Page for listings.)

From my aunt and uncles Barb, Bruce and Frank: more place settings! And so nicely wrapped, I took a picture of that, too!

We also got a package that included the Cuisinart microwave from our registry. And, man o man, I must add that it’s a beauty. I didn’t think I could like a microwave so much, but it cooks things in a jiffy. Plus, because it’s all stainless steel, it’s super-easy to clean. Many thanks to our friends Jarred and Karin for this!

Look, even Foofy (aka Leo) was excited about this one!!

Bridal Shower at Work

Gail — Sat, 27 Mar 2010 21:04:47 +0000

My team-mates at Target threw me a very nice shower, complete with a full table of food and a full table of gifts! I really appreciate the time and effort they put into this for me, especially Liz and Debbie. Thanks guys!!

Please see a gallery of photos below. You can click on the images to see them in full size/not cropped.

PS: There will also be another bridal shower for friends and family at a later date.

Organization

Murphy’s Law: You find something you need after you don’t really need it anymore. Google has set up a suite of templates for wedding planning on their “Google Docs” area. Some good ones, too! While I don’t really need any of them now, there may be a few things I’ll try out. So, if anyone out there is reading this while they are planning, be sure to check it out HERE.

The Countdown is On!

Gail — Sun, 07 Mar 2010 15:07:01 +0000

I was trying to resist the urge to say that it’s the FINAL COUNTDOWN (with 80s theme playing in my head)…. But obviously the urge was way too strong!

First Wedding Gift

Gail — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 01:10:19 +0000

How exciting!! Our first wedding gift arrived in the mail today!

Our First Gift Arrives!

See how happy I am! And see below, Mike holding the gorgeous item: a cake-cutting set to use on our big day!!

Mike and the beautiful set

Thank you to Holly and Jim (my sister and brother-in-law) for this beautiful set!! They recently traveled to Chile and found it there. You can’t really see the detail in the photo, but it is embedded with lapis lazuli, the “stone of Chile”. We will treasure it always.

Welcome to Fort Myers Beach! Part 2

Gail — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 19:09:23 +0000

Just found another great video… It’s longer, but gives a bit of the history of the area.

Welcome to Fort Myers Beach!

Gail — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 18:48:19 +0000

Here’s a neat little video I found on YouTube about Fort Myers Beach and the surrounding areas to “get you in the mood”. Enjoy!

NOTE: it was produced by the local realtor association.
