Cute Couple Photo

Wedding Picture Gallery Well, we finally have gotten some of the wedding pictures uploaded to the sight. Click the link above to go to that page, but I've got to warn that there are over 200 pictures on the page and it take a long time to load them all if you (like Catina and I) don't have a high speed connection. If you would like full-size files of some of the photos, move your mouse over them and the filename should appear. Send us a list of the file name and we will email you a copy of the file. Below, you will find the same stuff on the sight that was here before. We may update the sight more as time goes on and we will send emails to everybody if/when that happens. May God bless you and your family.

Répondez s'il vous plaît
If you have been invited as one of our guests please RSVPincluding the name, age, relationship, and contact information (preferably your email address) of everyone in your party. This way, if there is a sudden change in plans, we will be able to update everyone.

Our wedding is just around the corner, and with so much going on it's hard to stay in touch as much as we'd like. We've created this web site to help fill everyone in on our plans, and to offer information we thought might be useful to our guests. We'll post updates as the big day gets closer.

There is limited seating, so if you haven't been invited but would like to come, email Joseph atjtivyTK@netscape.net and ask to be placed on his wait list. There is no room for uninvited guests so if you don't RSVP, you can't come.

Accommodations for Out-of-Town Guests
Catina has settled on the hotels that she is going to recommend. If you click on the titles to the hotels, you should be redirected to a page that includes an area map and a link to reservations.

Ramada Inn Phoenix North
12027 N. 28th Drive
Phoenix, AZ, 85029 US
602-866-7000
This hotel is located next to I17 (aka N Black Canyon FWY). Staying here will make it easier to get to the Ceremony and Reception locations. It is also about 8 miles away from Catina and I.
Ramada Inn Phoenix Downtown
401 No. First Street
Phoenix, AZ, 85004 US
602-258-3411
This hotel is located in downtown phoenix. It is closer to the wedding and reception locations, but farther away from us and the freeways. However, its downtown phoenix location means that you will have a great choice of restaurants and other time-killers.

Date and time of wedding
The wedding will take place on March 19th.

Below you will find the addresses of both the ceremony and reception times and locations along with a link to their web sites.

3:00pm - Ceremony
Antique Wedding House
307 E 1ST ST
MESA, AZ 85201
(480) 649-1934
Looking at the pictures from the website, I was skeptical about the houses ability to fit 200 people. As it turns out, the house WON'T fit 200 people. The back yard of the house is red brick and cement, has a gazebo for the ceremony, and canopies that offer shade to all the invited guests. That is where the wedding ceremony will be held. Catina and I even get our own rooms to hang out in before the ceremony.
5:00pm - Reception
Stepsdance Dance Studio
37 W Southern Ave
Tempe, AZ 85282
(480) 720-3301
The owner of this dance studio, Norm Gifford, taught Catina and I how to West Coast Swing and Night Club Two-Step. We told Norm about our engagement at a benefit dance at his studio for a Boys and Girls Club. He offered us so great a deal and that we immediately decided to schedule the rest of our wedding around the reception at his place.

Honeymoon Plans
We are going to stay in town for the honeymoon. The original plan was to stay at a local resort, but we have decided to attend my sisters wedding on March 20. Yes, the day after mine. Consequently, I don't really know what we are going to do after the wedding.

May God bless you and your family.
