Registry Number Three...for your convenience :)

So it seems that shopping online is not for everyone, and there are some appliances that we could not find on any eco-friendly websites. I did some research to see which mainstream department store was the most "green", and it turns out it's Kohl's! They have received several awards for their commitment to the environment...who knew?! So we've set-up a registry there as well. Feel free to check it out :)

Registry Number Two!

Wool Tree of Life Tapestry

We've done our second registry! It's at Ten Thousand Villages, a wonderful fair-trade retailer with stores all over the US, and a great website. The site address is: http://www.tenthousandvillages.com/giftregistry/view/index/id/0e9b3489b843840f12083e1488fbc70d/

We hope you enjoy perusing these goodies...thank you for thinking of us!

Much love-
Julie & Michael

Registry Number One :)

Potter's Mixing Bowls at GBG

It's started! We set up our first wedding registry, located at The Green Bride Guide online store, http://www.greenbrideguide.com/content/wells-mcquarrie-wedding-registry is the site address. We're listed under the "Wells-McQuarrie Wedding Registry".  (As a sidenote, if you haven't checked out the book from which this website developed, The Green Bride Guide, you should! It's helped me so much with my planning our green wedding, and could help anyone plan how to be green in everyday settings as well!)

I'll let you know as soon as we setup our second registry...we'll keep you posted!

Much love,
Julie and Michael

It's Official! Now Let's Party!

Michael and I are now officially engaged :) It became official this past Sunday, 11.13.11, and it was adorable!  I'll post pics of the ring so you can all see it, we had it made at The Image Gallery in Wayne, NJ, the jewelers are friends of the family, Ruth and Shimon Zimmerman. We used stones we already had, rubies for the flower on the top (two of the rubies came from a pair of earrings my parents had given me as a child, and one of the rubies came from a pendant my late Aunt Joan had given me). The diamonds on the sides of the ring came from a yellow gold ring of my mothers, and the engagement ring itself was made in white gold to match my great-grandmother's platinum eternity band, which will be my wedding band...as of June 30th!

We're having a small engagement brunch for those who live in the area on 12.11.11, at my parents' house, from 12:30pm-4:30pm. It'll be fun, so come out if you're around :) I sent out an e-vite but I didn't have everyone's email address, so don't be offended if you weren't "officially" invited. (Come anyway...I would!)

We're sending out the Save the Date cards asap, so you'll be getting one soon! Can't wait to see y'all at some point!

Much love,
Julie & Michael

Save the Date!

Our Save the Date E-Card

Click on the link to see our Save the Date card design, which we got for free through Julie's job.
Aren't they gorgeous? Visit PhotoCardsDirect.com to see where we got them :)

Another version of our Save the Date card picture. I liked the sepia but it didn't match the green of the card - oh well! The colors of the flowers look really nice anyway. We took these pics at Cafe L'Amore in Oakland, one of my family's favorite Italian restaurants in Jersey, which is saying a lot! I'm going to put up a photo album of all our potential Save the Date photos in the next few days, and I'll link it here so you can all see the full lineup. My mom took them, as she is turning into quite a photographer now that she's retired! Although now she's helping me plan this wedding, which is quickly becoming a full-time job! Much love~ J & M

Wedding Email

If you'd like to email us with ?s about the wedding, or just to say Hi, feel free. Our new wedding email is JulsandMichael[at]yahoo.com.

Our wedding ceremony and reception will be held in Julie's hometown in NJ on 6.30.12.

Looking forward to seeing you there (only 9 months from today...whoa!).

P.S. If you live in the area, please save coffee cans and paper sleeves for coffee/tea paper cups for us, as we will be re-using these items in our decor. Thanks!

Much love to all~ Julie & Michael
