Our romantic story begins actually before we met. In 2008, my mom and I went on the Golden Princess and cruised to Mexico for a week. Gregory was on the same ship, but instead of working in the traditional dining room where he usually works, he was assigned to anytime dining (he's a head waiter). We never met. He was supposed to stay on the Golden Princess for another year with the same itinerary to Mexico in 2009, but at the last minute, he got reassigned to the Star Princess for the 7-day Alaska itinerary in 2009.

In June of 2009, my mom and I cruised to Alaska on the Star Princess. He was not only working in traditional dining where my mom and I ate, he was working our section and table.....so we finally met!!!! We hit it off immediately. The last day before we disembarked, he gave me his # and email and asked to stay in touch with me. We've been together ever since!

We are getting married aboard the "Grand Lady of the Sea", The Queen Mary, Long Beach, California on October 15, 2010.

Wedding will commence at 4:30pm in The Royal Chapel, Promenade Deck, near the stern of the ship

Reception will commence at 6:00pm in The Queen's Salon, Promenade Deck, center of the ship

From 5:00pm-6:00pm, cocktails will be available while the wedding party and immediate family members take pictures after our ceremony.

Queen's Salon

Our reception will also be on The Queen Mary, in the Queen's Salon which graced many legends in it's time such as Bob Hope, Liberace, Sammy Davis, Jr. to name a few! Definitely the perfect place for a 40's style reception.

Originally the First-Class Main Lounge, the Queen's Salon is a breathtaking venue for any occasion. The 4,600-square-foot salon celebrates the grandeur of the Art Deco era with priceless original art, a trio of golden onyx fireplaces and a beautiful parquet dance floor.
