WHERE ARE YOU LOOKING TO MOVE TO?
Since Ed works in Pasadena and I work in Corona, we started looking for somewhere in between so we can split the commute. We just found out that our application to an apartment complex in Phillips Ranch was approved. We pick up our key January 20th! Phillips Ranch, by the way, is located between the 10, 60, 57 and 71 freeways between Diamond Bar and Pomona.

WHEN ARE YOU MOVING?
Aaahh!! This weekend! February 1st-2nd! Actually Ed is moving in with our stuff. You can still get ahold of Jackie at her regular number or on her cell (if I remember to keep it turned on :)

GOWN AND SHOES UPDATE
I went in last weekend for the final gown fitting. Yahoo!
Oh yeah, and to answer that burning question: Is Jackie really going to wear high heels? The answer is yes, but pantyhose is where I draw the line. I mean, get real!

WHAT'S SO SPECIAL ABOUT FEBRUARY 22ND?
Ok, we really don't have a great reason but here are a few good reasons:

1. We just found out that Jackie's great-grandma's wedding anniversary was February 22nd!
   
2. It's between our birthdays.
   
3. But after Valentine's Day.
   
4. Hurricane season in the Carribean hasn't started yet!
   
5. Easy to remember 2-22 (or for the mathematically inclined, 2 cubed).
   
6. It's Washington's Birthday (and it's better than going to the Macy's 13-hour sale.
   

WHAT ARE THE COLORS?
Burgundy and silver (Yes I know, I can hear the girls thinking, how on earth did she come up with those colors?)

For the benefit of all you techheads out there, here's the math equation used to determine the wedding colors:
(1 Blond Hair MOH - P) + (1 Red Hair MOH - P) + (1 Bride x BC) = BURGANDY
Where MOH=Maid of Honor, -P= minus all pastel colors,
BC= Colors the Bride looks good in

IS JACKIE GOING TO CHANGE HER NAME?
Yes. My new name will be Jackie Silber.
(I suppose I could do Silber-Smith but that's a bit much really.)
