Joe and Marissa met at the beginning of their college freshman year as wandering students.. Since graduation, Joe started working as a gEEk and Marissa has bounced through several jobs. Both are of Filipino descent and in their mid-twenties. They were engaged on March 19, 2003, when Joe forced Marissa to go out when she was feeling ill. She relented, he proposed, she said, "of course," while desperately looking for the fallacious chocolate chip cookie Joe used as a decoy for the ring. She is still looking for that cookie today.

Welcome to our Wedding Site. We hope you will find our information useful upon your visit.

REGISTRY

Your presence is the greatest gift you could give us. However, should you wish to supplement it, we have opted out of a wedding registry in favor of a Traditional Wishing Well, which will be on display in our reception hall. We felt this was the most pragmatic solution to our lack of space in the small Lowell one-bedroom apartment in which we will reside. For fiscal reasons, we foresee this as a long-term living arrangement. If you are still in favor of giving tangibly, our shower registry may be accessed at Bed, Bath and Beyond (opens with a new window).

TOURIST INFO

Boston

The Boston area is one of the most photographed and celebrated cities in the United States, offering the best it has to offer in history, arts, education, science, cuisine, and culture. Due to its structural history, the city is not “driver” friendly and is best navigated by walking and using the MBTA subway system (the “T”). Fare tokens are as little as $ 1.25 one way, but optimal value is found in the day passes, which allow unlimited subway travel for the time periods purchased. Another way to view the city is by trolley car and the amphibious duck tour. Walking tours through the Freedom Trail are great exercise and offer a virtual Senator Ted Kennedy (complete with accent) on audio to guide you along the historic path. Sports fans can catch a Celtics game at the Fleet Center, or enjoy a Red Sox game at historic Fenway Park (don’t forget your anti-Yankees paraphernalia). The city is child-friendly and family-oriented. For more information visit: www.visitboston.org. For personal recommendations, feel free to contact us.

New England and Beyond

Boston is an hour and a half away from Cape Cod , which is a short boat ride to the islands. The city is also an hour and a half from Newport, Rhode Island, home of America’s gilded era; three-hours to New York City, and two hours to the casinos of Connecticut. It is a little over an hour to Providence, RI. If you do not wish to drive to these cities, buses and trains will depart from Boston and direct you where you want to go.

To appreciate a more natural New England, visit www.visitnewengland.com which highlights the natural beauty of the Cape and islands, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine. Whether you’reThere is something for everyone in the region.

For further distance travel, Amtrak and buses can take you to Montreal, Philadelphia, Washington DC and Atlantic City.
