Married, Alive and Well!
Hi Everyone!
Thank you so much for all your kind words, thoughts and well-wishes for our wedding day! We have not gotten our professional pictures yet, but here is a candid taken by my cousin, Patrick.

I am happy to report that Roberto and I are now husband and wife. I must say it turned out beautifully. There were a few minor snafus as there always are, but it was a perfect day in every other way. We spent a lot of lovely time with family and friends and of course we ate well from the day Roberto’s mom arrived from Rome all the way through the honeymoon! (as if eating well is a change in our normal routine)…
Currently I am sorting through loads of emails, making my way over to the Forum and slowly starting to make my presence online again. So bear with me, as I am still on Jamaica Time.
If you have emailed me directly about anything to do with The Foodie Blogroll, I may not get back to you personally – our first order of business after we get settled is to implement the latest features and all will be notified about the next steps and what you need to do. Until then, hang tight.
But in the meantime, you can look forward to food stories about foods we enjoyed with our family leading up to the wedding, as well as the wedding day food, cake and some new favorite foods from Jamaica. So stay tuned!

Wow- you are just RADIATING happiness! You look amazing, and I’m glad it all was wonderful. There is nothing better than the feeling of being a newlywed (unless you have a child, then that might beat that feeling!)
Congrats!

Hi Melissa and thanks!
Thanks Shannon! I loved my flowers.
Thanks Chef Erik and welcome to the blog. Best of luck catering your friend’s wedding! I am sure you will do a great job….so, what’s the menu?!?!
Hey Ruth! Thanks!
I can’t wait to see the pics too! Our photographer is great, so I have little doubt they will be fantastic!
Thanks Home Cooking Kitchen!
Thanks Robyn! It was the best time in my life so far. But I know there are good times ahead too.
Thanks RecipeGirl. I was the happiest ever in those moments with Roberto. Such good stuff! Yes, I imagine having children is an amazing experience too – looking forward to that one too!
We DID do it, Emiline!
Thanks so much Mag!
Thanks Summer. Yeah, I loved how vibrant the flowers were. I am glad there are so many pictures of them, because when I got home the bouquet was all discolored – I still have it sitting here – they have gone from lime green to yellow and now they are reddish…weird. It is nice to be back!
