Re: Greek Brides??

This is so true.

Stories on how my greek friends vs. other friends and how they met their boyfriends/husbands are completely different.

Re: Greek Brides??

Absolutley!!! I just realized this now lol It's so crazy because I feel everytime someone tells me their story its 'well my cousins best friend brought his brother that night we all went out together...' Greeks in 3 generations are all going to be related to each other I swear lol

Re: Greek Brides??

He said that the other side of my family (Colombian) & all the Americans here wouldn't understand the point of it - along with all the other traditions - $ stuffing under the mattress & others.... We are getting married in the Greek church, and all of my future children will be baptized in the Greek church as well....

Re: Greek Brides??

Hi Girls....

I've been to those Thanksgiving parties at the Carltun but that is not the one we met at. They once had a Presidents' day party at Club 151 in Midtown....this is where it happened. Never in my life did I think I would meet my husband at a YAL party.

We are from the mountains in greece....two very small cities, I'm sure noone has heard of. I would love to go to Greece again. When I was in school, I used to go every summer. I haven't been there since 1996.

We are planning a trip next fall...(after the olympics).

Cavo has great food...it would be nice for a shower or small party.

Re: Greek Brides??

deby - I definetley will let you know. I have an appt with them next Tueday to go check it out. OHMIGOSH appt with cavo's banquet manager - what is going on here!!!!

I told the guy on the phone that we met there and he's like we keep hearing that more and more - so hey if you know any lonely Greeks send them to Cavo

LnP - Did you ever think of doing something simple at home with your tight family? Like parents and siblings? Do his parents mind something Greek like that? I don't know any other religion who has an engagemnt thing like we do.
Deby - did you think of doing that too?! We're trying to save money too - but we'll be doing that by not having a bunch of people at the wedding - about 100-110

Scoop - I haven't been to to Cavo since last summer but the food was awesome! That's why we even considered it

Re: Greek Brides??

He arrived with his family (omg - they were meeting my family for the first day ON EASTER - how much bigger can you get i ask u??) anyway, @ around 2:30, he asked me if I wanted to go toward the front of the house to talk & have a cigarette - i said sure... so we were there for a little while, and he said - come to the car with me - i have to get stuff out of the car for my mom.... well, long story short, after difficulty with the trunk opening, he got the ring out, said some really beautiful stuff to me, started crying, then i started crying, and I said yes, after hugging him for about 10 minutes! then we had a serious party!!!!!!!!!!
