I think I have been here before, butting into forums. So much going on, I can't keep track of whether I am coming or going. A little about me, if you care:

Single mom (she's almost 10!!!) met an amazing guy. He's Jewish from Long Island, I'm Puerto Rican from Manhattan. We now live in Brooklyn (it's been an adjustment but I really like Brooklyn). Yes, it's been crazy trying to incorporate Jewish and Hispanic traditions into the wedding, (Horrah and Salsa, Smoked fish and Roasted pork anyone?) but I am tryingto have fun here without losing it.

I hope you don't mind as I have fun reading your forums and adding my 2 cents. SO EXCITED!!!!!

Thanks for your 2 cents!

HA!
No Pernil, but I had my FH cloved a ham for thanksgiving, he said he was going to go to hell for it. I had to remind him that Jews don't really believe in hell and to keep poking the Jamon/Ham.

No, we don't have hell - we have MOTHERS!

Welcome to the boards!! I think all of us have been stressed out lately. There is a phunk going around with stress and weddings.
Well, Good Luck and welcome to the boards...They are so much fun and in my time of stress lately I have been on these boards more to take my mind off of things.
Have fun!!

I'm not an 06 bride (and still suffer from great anxiety whenever I post here! ) but I just wanted to say welcome to LIW and many congratulations!

It's great to see a fellow Brooklynite (even if new to the borough) and Borinqueña on the boards!

Happy planning!

No pernil at passover?

Best place for spanish food by the way is on the corner of Broome and Broadway...this little corner joint called Brisas Del Caribe....I wish I was there now....

OMG.. This is so awesome.. We have alot of newbies!!!! The 06'rs crew is growing! Congrats on your planning and remember if you have any questions.. we are all here to help out!!!!

I'm a newbie too! However, this week (thanks to all the posts I have read) has been very productive. My favorite judge agreed to perform my ceremony, I booked my reception, put a deposit down on my dress, and I think I found BM dresses. Two of my girls are waaaay out of town, so I sent them links and told them to go try it on. Meeting with 2nd photographer later today. Is anybody tired just reading this???
