We would first like to express sincere appreciation to all of our family & friends who have helped us to be where we are today and are visiting our website. We have had so much fun and experienced so much thus far in our journey together. We met when we were children in the 1970's. Our Mother's are friends and we spent many days as children swimming in Rusty's swimming pool or playing games with our siblings Jason and Christie. Rusty's most vivid memory of Lori is her coke bottom bottle glasses that made her eyes bulge out. Lori remembers Rusty's cheeks and dimples when he smiled.
We reunited years later when I asked my Mom to come over my house and help me repair a fence in my backyard. My Mother Linda had lunch plans that day with Rusty's Mother Sylvia, rather than cancel lunch Sylvia asked Rusty if he would go help Lori with her fence and as they say the rest is History!
We will be Married aboard the Carnival Paradise on August 8, 2008
Long Beach Cruise Terminal Addres: 231 Windsor Way, Long Beach, CA 90802
We submitted a guest list for all non-sailing guests including your names and date of birth. You will need to provide your state issued photo ID at the time of check in, please have it available. You will leave your ID with Security in the terminal and be given a guest pass to board the ship. You are welcome to tour the ship until the ceremony time. All non-sailing guests must debark the ship immediately after the reception. When leaving the ship, you will need to redeem your ID in the ship’s terminal. Priority boarding is provided for bridal couples, as well as their guests, being married on the day of sailing. The time to board the ships is controlled by US Customs and Immigration. No one is allowed to board the ship until US Customs and Immigration clear the ship. Due to the terrorist attacks on our country, US Customs and Immigration have increased security measures.We ask for all guests to be at the Pier between 10- 10:30 AM to begin the check-in process so once the ship has cleared, we will be able to priority board before all other cruising passengers. Guests who do not arrive at the time we board will have to make their own way on the ship. Due to U.S. Customs regulations, guests are asked NOT to bring wedding gifts onboard the ship.
