Re: Greek Brides??

lol...I'm sure whatever you decided to do will be wonderful because it will be all about the two of you. Regarding the engraving, why don't you try a jewlery store in Astoria???

Re: Greek Brides??

That's what I'm thinking. BTW Do you know if a priest will bless two rings? I want to do a diamond vera to match the e-ring and we both got the same gold band. I want to be engaged and married with the diamond band but I want him to bless the gold ring as well and I'll wear all three.

Re: Greek Brides??

I did the same things. I got a platinum eternity diamond band as my 'vera' and a platinum plain band for everyday...Yes the priest will bless all three. The day of the wedding though I am planning on only wearing and getting my diamond band blessed. I will get the plain one blessed after the wedding.

Re: Greek Brides??

Oh good!!!! I'm assuming you got engaged with the eternity band. But I like that idea of having an everyday one and a diamond one. I still have to find a place to have the dinner at - NO TIME!!! do you know of any places in astoria that will do it on a Saturday night?? I should be booking right? I want it in June lol

A friend of my FH had their e-party at Laterna in Bayside. Check out Mythos in Bayside too. I think they have a small room for up to 70 people.
Here are some places to check out:

Karyatis
Esperides

Angela, you look beautiful! Congratulations!

Olga, I think Zodiac cafe has a back room where they do parties- I am not sure if they do Saturday nights though (you may have to share the place with other Greekies for bouzoukia night).

Maybe try Telly's Taverna- they just expanded the restaurant to next doo- they may be able to rent out the one side.

I'll try to think of more.

Re: Greek Brides??

I met my FItobe at CAVO TOOO!!!!!! I went out with my friend who had a blind date with my FItobe's cousin - they never got together but we started to talk and a couple of months later it was loveeeeee =))))) I wasn't supposed to go out that night because it was 25 Martiou and my sister and grandmother yiortazoun but somehow my friend complained so much I couldn't take it anymore that I finally said Fine I'll go out for an hour. I was in ghetto pants, some shirt and I HADN'T SHOWERED lol and no Im not kidding - she called me like 2 hours before we went out!!! No makeup, my hair back in a bun - you know I was looking lovely! But he still fell for me that night with me looking lovely in all my glory =))) For our engagemnt we want to do it in Astoria so that we can take all the guys our age to Cavo =))))

Re: Greek Brides??

Sorry to chime in here girls...but i was laughing with your stories...I met my husband at one of the famous GOYAL get togethers...how cheesy.

I wasn't supposed to go out that night either...I was already in bed in my pajamas and my cousin came over at 11pm and literally dragged me out of bed. I so looked like crap.

Funny on how things work out.

Re: Greek Brides??

hahah GOYAL! wonderful!!!! You never know where you are going to find someone I guess but we prove the fact of you find them when you're not looking!!! =)) Ohmigosh I don't believe GOYAL lol That's where my mom met my dad - they were both dragged to a GOYAL dance lol

Re: Greek Brides??

Re: Greek Brides??

That's ok!!! As long as you met him right?? It's funny - most of the Greek people whomarry other greeks meet at some sort of Greek function - like a kafenio or club or GOYAL =) I never hear - we met at work, we met on the train or whatnot lol
