Yes, it is Father Antonopoulos, and yes I do go to St. Catherine (but not as much any more since I split church time between Astoria and Zoodohos Pigi in the Bronx where FH goes). I went to school with his niece, and he was the 'main' priest in charge of teaching us religion in the early grades.

I was a flower girl for my cousin's wedding about 25 years ago, and he was the priest at that wedding, and I remember thinking to myself during the ceremony that when I get married, I want him to be the priest at my wedding. So, I can't wait!

Hi
Stephanie at 3angelsgifts has everything for a greek wedding and advice as what you need she's moving her store in a couple of weeks to

400 west jericho turnpike
huntington 11743

her phone is 631 425 2476
http://3angelsgifts.com/

She has the best prices in ny she has done some fantastic events for me. She done all the co ordinating flowers (hooked me up) favors to die for.

Both I suppose. We just booked our RH today, so I'm calling the church tomorrow, and I'm not sure what to expect, as in how long the ceremony runs on average, if we need to come in in person to book it, etc.

(p.s. haven't been around for a while, so I wasn't ignoring you!)

Hi ladies....sooo glad to see you all here! My FH is Italian and we are currently searching for a DJ. We are going to have both American and Greek. More American and of course I want someone who knows Greek music well, so that way I don't have to worry about putting a cd of songs together. Does anyone have a Greek American DJ they can recommend?? I'm going to meet with Bravo Sounds on Monday. Has anyone heard anything about them? Thanks!

sorry, we are using the DJ that our band gives us (Powerstation)

Hi everyone...

I'm not Greek, but my fiance is, and we're going to be getting married at St. Paraskevi in Greenlawn...has anyone been married there or is going to get married there that can clue me in to the process?

Thanks, I appreciate it

Hey,

I'm not Greek, but marrying a Greek too and we are getting married at St. Paraskevi. We met with Father Dimitrios and he is so nice and Maria has been so helpful too. After you book the date with them, they will call you about 4-6 months before your wedding to schedule you in for a wedding seminar and they go over everything then. I'm really excited about the whole ceremony.

I have a question about Greek music. We wanted to play a couple of Greek songs, but FH doesn't know any of his head and neither does his mom. I have no clue either. Can anyone recommend a couple of good dance Greek songs that is commonly played at weddings?

TIA

are you looking for traditional greek dance songs (like kalamatiano and syrto)? or more contemporary tsifteteli-style songs? If you look at some of the previous pages of this thread, you'll see a discussion about Greek songs.

I don't know the names either...but we hired a Greek DJ. MY Fiance speaks Greek so he would know. I have no clue...sorry.

I love this thread. It really helped me with a lot of questions. Especially since I'm Methodist marrying a Greek, I had no clue about anything.
Thanks Ladies!!! I can't believe my wedding is next week. I am so excited about the ceremony!!!

Congrats!!! I'm getting married there next year...I can't wait to see pics!

I've been going crazy trying to find pics of other ceremonies/outside church pics there, since there's no stairs. I'm really curious to see the courtyard and how it photographs.

Good Luck!!!

I just wanted to say that Stephanie from 2 Angels Gifts in Huntington has been amazing. She's been so helpful throughout this whole process and she does amazing work. I'm going tomorrow to pick up our favors, I can't wait to see what they look like.
