hot, hot, hot: The Bridal Shower

Our engagement

By now, you've heard our big news, and that's why you've come to our online wedding info area.

Here's where we'll post plans, photos, airline information, ideas for fun while vacationing in Hungary, and anything else that seems interesting or useful.

Coming to Hungary will be a great gift to us, as you are able to share with us our vow before God in matrimony. We would like your trip to be a wonderful experience, and want to help you as much as we can.

Throughout the sections on the right, you'll find links, photos, and things to think about.

Please e-mail us if you have questions or ideas.

How Do I Love Thee?
Elizabeth Barrett Browning

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of being and ideal grace.
I love thee to the level of every day's
Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.
I love thee freely, as men strive for right.
I love thee purely, as they turn from praise.
I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints. I love with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life; and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.

The HungarianBookstore.com	This is our creation. While it was not created with the intention of helping our guests gain footing in Hungary, it can serve as a useful research tool. In it, we have links to most of Hungary's major cities, and some short essays in English and Hungarian about various aspects of culture. You can even find a book or two that will take you to Amazon where you can learn enough Hungarian to get around.
Language	This isn't the last stop for learning this complex, but rich language, but you will be able to learn a few phrases.
Culture	Hungary is a melting pot of Europe, melding many cultures into a unique people. There is a little history thrown in here to give things context.
