Book'em, Danno

Here we are booking our flights to Israel with our travel agent, Freda Biren, at Travel Galore. She has been booking tickets for the Amranis for years and feels like family even though I hadn't met her before.



Afterwards, with Israel on my mind, we went to the Israeli grocery down the street to satiate my apetite for middle easter food. I can't wait to eat the jachnun which takes ten hours of baking to prepare.

Hopefully we won't be paying any visits to Dr. Praeger's office for at least a little while.

Royal engagement

I just read that Prince William and Kate Middleton may be getting married the same weekend as us. That's going to be awkward.

Update: Thank goodness, it's just their engagement that will be announced that weekend.

Pulling the trigger

We're about to pull the trigger on the yacht in Marina Del Rey for our wedding here in the states! I just have to fax in all of the paper work in the morning and then we'll call it official. Tonight we've been busy looking at wedding bands, gift registries, and guests lists. It's exhausting. Here's a photo of Sherry filling out registry information.

A Three Hour Tour

If we get married on a boat I'd love to wear a navy blue double breasted suit with an ascot but I think she'd kill me.

Prince would fit right in

Here's a link to the place that Sherry and I are going to get married at in Israel http://www.telya.co.il/English/. Wedding venues in Israel look very similar to ones here in the states except they really like their purple club lights. I joke about it with Sherry but the place looks amazing and I'm really excited about it. Now we just need to start inviting guests. Sherry is reading over my shoulder and says the lights are not always purple and to stop giving her a hard time. Ok, ok. I'll stop.

Bow-wow-wow yippy-yo yippy-yay

Since Sherry got our Israeli wedding scheduled for the 29th of June this really means that I need to get my butt in gear and plan something here in the states. The other day my brother, Steve, suggested a yacht wedding. Yesterday Sherry and I went to the FantaSea Yacht Club in Marina Del Rey check out what they had to offer. After seeing that Snoop Dog got married on one of the boats I was pretty much hooked, considering that he and I are so similar. We loved the wedding packages that they had and the prices and we loved that they had something available in early June. After drinking a latte, a mimosa, and walking around the deck in the sunshine I got a little seasick, even though the boat wasn't moving. That worries me a little bit (wow, we're having an earthquake as I write this) so I think I'd need to take some dramamine if we decide to get married there. If we do it won't be a huge ceremony, mostly very close friends and family. We'll let you know what we decide.

And the Wedding will be in... Israel!

So, I know Tim and I haven't been to good about updating our blog. Hmmm, I don't even know when WAS the last time we added any postings. Anyway, we decided that a Los Angeles wedding just wasn't challenging enough so we decided to have the wedding in Israel! :)

The great part of this for Tim is that he doesn't have to take part in this. I arrived to Israel yesterday afternoon and have less than 2 weeks to get this wedding planned.

There are a few locations that I have heard great things from and now it's a more about deciding where.

I will keep you posted.
