Where |
2:00 pm -- Ceremony & Receiving Line at St. Joseph's Church, Woburn, MA 5:00 pm -- Reception at Hawthorne Hotel, Salem, MA www.hawthornehotel.com Before the cocktail hour...there is a tavern in the hotel, a lovely common next to the hotel, or window gazing in this downtown location. There will be plenty of food so we recommend that you don't snack before the reception! Oh, and there is a bar across the street that we might check out after the reception. :) |

Registry |
Yes, we are registered, under
Tracey Gangi and/or Jeffrey Johnson, at www.macys.com and www.bedbathandbeyond.com The "very surprised" bridal shower was held Sunday. Jeff's sisters came into town & he stayed to open gifts (and finally got to meet some of my friends! if briefly). Some wonderful gifts we have received that aren't on the registry: gas grill, crystal Champaign flutes, serveware, kitchen utensils, home repair book (Jeff), cook book (Jeff...oh, and Tracey), and yes, the to-be-expected lingerie. BTW, we already have vacuums, crystal serveware, muffin & cake pans and a pasta maker. (I only mention it because people told me they didn't know what we might already have.) |
