Hey guys,
I (Manny) just wanted to send a huge thank you to my friends for putting together an incredible bachelor party on Saturday. With less than 2 weeks before the wedding my friends Andrew, John, Matt, Chris, Pat and of course Steve put together a fantastic day and a crazier night.
I was kidnapped from my apartment Saturday morning and driven to Niagara Falls. While I'm not at liberty to discuss the events of Saturday it was a day filled with fun, even kid-like events with some fantastic meals and an alcohol soaked night. I really appreciate all the effort you gents put into planning and executing everything, even though for some it meant putting other things aside for the day.
Also, a huge thanks to Anneke from Erin for all her help in cleaning and polishing the horse bridle on Saturday.
Peas yo

Our Registry!
Hey all!
We've finally organized our registry and have the list set up online. As many of you may know Erin and I are planning to do some traveling and living abroad shortly after the wedding. This makes conventional registry items a bit impractical since we will not be able to use them and/or be forced to store them.
Still, we think the idea is solid and decided to make a registry with the Mountain Equipment Coop or MEC. Our list consists of items to help us in our travels and we encourage anyone interested to take a look. I'm including step-by-step instructions below for those who may need assistance with the process.
To find the wish list simply type mec.ca into your internet browser. When you reach the homepage look at the top right corner of the page. You'll see a tab marked "My Account" and to the right of it you'll see "Wish List". Click on the button marked "Wish List". When the page loads look to the centre of the page for a gray box marked "Look up". In the small white rectangle type "Povelofskie/Young" (minus the quotation marks but including the / mark). When you've typed this in click the "Find" button.
You should now see the words "Select your friends from the list below". Click on Immanual/Erin. You will now find the list of items we've put up. From here simply an item to the cart and proceed to follow the instructions. As a final note, if anyone does decide to be generous enough to use our registry, please don't forget to type in the "has" box a 1 and then click "Save changes" if you decide to purchase an item from the list. This is located beneath the picture of each item. I suggest this because it helps prevent several people from gifting the same item.
That leads me to one final point. Under each item it says "Wants" and "1". If someone has purchased this item already it will say "Has" and a "1" will be beside it. If it says "Has" and a "0" is beside it then the item as not been gifted. Hopefully there is no confusion but if there is please feel free to message Manny or Erin via facebook, text or good old fashioned telephone :)
Looking forward to the day! Only a month and two days away!

Stag and Doe
Hey friends and family!
Our stag and doe has officially come and gone! A busy day of chopping, cooking, counting, and carrying (that's right I'm using only verbs that begin with C) resulted in a most spectacular evening.
Family members were quite helpful in the process so we would like to thank them all if they ever read this.
Janiene and Fatima worked as our official bouncers for the hall and candy counters for the guessing game. Good job ladies! Also congratulations to Fatima who won the mystery cooler.
Joshua sold many tickets to the games we planned making them quite successful. In fact he actually managed to walk away with the giant jar of candy. Knowing Manny's family and their sweet tooth he was probably quite satisfied.
Julia and Erica were our dedicated and hardworking bartenders. Despite the intense heat of the hall they both managed to pull through while providing our guests with drinks to cool off. Thanks so much girls.
Much thanks also to Shayna for organizing music for the evening. The band was spectacular and the crowd had nothing but positive comments for "organized chaos".
Tickets and posters were the result of the diligent efforts of Steve who continues to show how he is one of "the better men". :p
Also a hearty thanks to our many friends, neighbours, and family who supported us simply by showing up and making the evening as marvelous an event as it could be.
