Re: The US Merchant Marine Academy-Melville Hall Thread

Hi! I think I'm the newest USMMA bride, I'm the only 06'er so far. FH graduated from there in 2000.

I'm looking forward to officially setting my date with both the chapel and melville hall.

Any advice for a total newbie like me? Thanks

Did you send your letter of intent with the dates you want to marry? Its first come, first serve. After that, just sit tight until about 8 months before to meet with Richard. He can be a little abrasive but I think in the end he will do a great job.

BTW- Congrats

If you've contacted Mr. Stancati he'll help guide you. There are also checklists on the USMMA website. I would suggest booking vendors that are popular early, like hair and photographers.

Good luck with your planning and congrats!
