So...a guy and a gal just walked 365 steps to the tiny town of Corniglia, Italy, in Cinque Terre. They walk into a tiny shop and look at jewelry.
Guy: "What about this one?"
Gal (scoffing): "Umm...that looks like an engagement ring."
Guy: "It is an engagement ring."
And, nine weeks after they met in Manhattan, they toast with family in Montaldo, Italy, with Negronis. The ring says it best: La vita e bella ~ Life is beautiful. Call us crazy, but what can we say? When you know, you know.
Michael Mariani ~ Beloved uncle of the bride. Get ready to laugh and cry and feel all kinds of emotions....
Phoebe Van Vleet ~ Beloved godsister of the bride. Jamie used to help Phoebe find Easter eggs on annual epic Van Vleet Easter egg hunts.
Fingers crossed that Chris White, world-renowned cellist, will make it back in time from his trip to Spain...
The Darts will graciously play during cocktail hour! The fun group includes Jamie's godfather, Rob Van Vleet; Andy Russell, and Todd Edmonds--all people who have known Jamie for most, if not all, of her life.
TBD on other possible musical guests!
Word of Mouth, famous caterers in the Finger Lakes area, will provide the apps and dinner.
Dessert is a smorgasbord of delicious eats made by the incredible families who are near and dear to our hearts.
Fabrizio Iuli ~ Incredibly charming maker of incredible Iuli wines--and brother-in-law of the bride.
Mark Thomas & Kimbly Boland ~ Talented makers of tasty white wine--and close family friends (Kimbly was also Jamie's 5th grade teacher).
Gary Hodges will lend his photo skills! We are honored and thrilled.
We know that many of you love to take photos--and will, undoubtedly, shoot many "framers", as Leah Wolff would say. We don't want to hire you, because we don't want you to work. But we will figure out a place for you to share photos from the weekend!
Our official hashtag for you social media mavens: #wolffdenwedding
The sweet, thoughtful, and very talented Rachel Ostlund of Iron Owl Kitchen will grace us with her presence throughout the festivities (as well as add a modicum of sanity when we need it most!) We are so grateful to have her on board ~
