Christian and Mara's Wedding

CNN says that you should go visit Spectacle Island, and I know that I sure wouldn't mind checking it out!

Want to learn about the wedding party? Sure you do? Go on, read!

Christian was supposed to post this, but instead he is snoring.

Hey, does anyone actually, uh, you know, read this on a regular basis? I ask because I want to take a quick, informal poll of who's interested in a harbor cruise on Friday? I'm going to make a group reservation for 30, and will post more details here.

For those of you coming in from out of town, we decided to make reservations at Kowloon Restaurant in Saugus for the evening of Friday the 24th! In lieu of a rehearsal dinner, it's a chance to meet and mingle before Saturday afternoon at noon.

First of all, what Kowloon lacks in quality it makes up for in glorious, campy atmosphere. It is located on Route 1 in Saugus. It's not terribly far from Logan Airport, actually... but also not terribly close. It is a temple of tacky, the whitest Chinese restaurant around, and it's the stuff made of legend... tiki torches, flaming drinks, the whole nine yards.

You can look at their website, which includes a collection of photos featuring the various "famous" people who've dine there, at this URL:

The reservation is for 7PM and it's under the name Mara!

We're booked for the main dining room, and we'll be having a set menu (Menu #4 on this page).

Please let either me or Christian know if you'll be there!

... it's at Williams-Sonoma and Crate & Barrel.

We are so appreciative of everyone coming out and showing us your love and generousity (and while I will not be so vulgar as to name a figure, my, were you all collectively VERY generous) and spending Saturday the 25th of August with us as we embark on our life as a married couple!

One thing that I want to clear up, however, is my married name. My married name is still going to be Mara Karapetian. I'm not going to be changing my last name to Daly. Christian does point out that no matter what I say, I'm still his property and that it doesn't matter if I change my name or not.

Mr. James Andrews will eventually get back to us with photos and we'll post those up here when that time comes.

Thank you again, everyone! We will, of course, do better than a blog entry and send cards out very soon.

Much love,
Mara (and Christian who is getting ready to do some errands in the other room).
