I live on 23railroad in stanstead quebec, it would be my dream to win that contest because i meet the perfect guy hes my soulmate and we have no money as for right now to have a nice wedding i would love to win this contest please i got to win so i can have the dream of my life winning the wedding contest. thanx you.
I'm a bit upset that I had my computer apart and had to go through so much work to get to a computer that worked only to find out you guys didn't mention that the places were in New Jersey. So many people assume that everyone has a computer readily available and though this may be the case for many, it's not always true.
I also think you guys might forget that some of your viewers are in the Long Island area and it's sometimes tough for the future bride/groom to travel across bridges and let's not forget the toll increases to save money on a wedding that is just a sort of a raffle. Next time you mention a give-away like this please mention the area.
hi im doreen 31yrs old with 4 children and one on the way.Me and my fiance Gary,will love and appreciate a dream wedding.We have been putting the wedding off because we do not have the funds.I have always wanted to have a magical wedding.But if its something simple but beautiful I would loveit. Thank you,and God bless you!
I recently hosted a 60th birthday party for my mother, w/ the food catered by Frungillo Caterers. Everybody *raved* about the food, as expected, since I've been a fan of Frungillo's for years. Guest after guest asked me where the amazing eats came from! And that was only for their off-site catering -- I've been to several of their wedding venues, all unique, so you can choose whatever fits your own personal style, and they all provide top-notch service. You can have your pick of fantasy castle wedding, hip urban soiree, cozy indoor-outdoor estate home, or banquet hall elegance. These guys do events the right way! I also can't emphasize enough how helpful and responsive the Frungillo staff were in getting all of my details squared away quickly and efficiently - with a smile! We still have people calling to tell us how great my mother's party was, not least of all my mother herself. When I saw on Channel 11 News that Frungillo's is giving away a $50,000 wedding, I wished I had my own wedding to do all over again!! (And my wedding was amazing, so that's saying a lot.) It just goes to show once again Jerry and Robert Frungillo's generosity of spirit... To whoever wins their contest, you are going to have a seriously amazing wedding that you and your guests will be raving about for years to come -- Get in to see them by March 6th, so I can live vicariously through you!!! good luck - jen j.
I just went to the website of that caterer you had on this morning and it's amazing! I am starting to get really excited about getting married in 2011! But I'm also worried about a few things so I was wondering if that guy could talk more about what's in and what's out these days in wedding planning? I'm going to start planning my wedding this coming summer and am terrified to make any faux pas in table settings, for example, or to over spend or underspend. Some issues I'm particularly curious about:
-placement of family members when there are ex's involved
-how much is too much for certain amenities
-do I have to have a videographer?
-is it gauche to have disposable cameras at each table?
Thanks. Alison Jenners.
We got engaged in Aruba in 2008. I want to share my life with her and our son. They bring me joy and and fill my heart with love. I dream about the biggest wedding ever but wake up kidding myself. If wishes come true ,looking at a star, than I wish tonight that Frungillo Cateres will host our Wedding. Nothing will top seeing her smile and cry through out her dream wedding.

This is such a great idea. I have been to several functions at Frungillo Caterers facility and everyone of them has been fantastic. The owners Robert and Jerry are unbelivable; they take such pride in every weddingslike its their own. I strongly suggest if your planning a wedding to schedule an appointment at any of their sites from the Mansion to the Villa...

My name is Anderson A. I am 28 years of age. I have been with my long time girlfriend since the age of 13; we've been together for about 15 years. I have been thinking about marrying her for a long time. We have taken teh step of getting engaged, but has not been able to go forward due to financial difficulties. We want to spend the rest of our lives together and does not want money to be a barrier. It hurts me to know that I am not able to go on and live our lives together because of financial reasons. Winning this money would not only draw us closer to each other, but provide us with the future that we desire. After spending so much time together, I want to at least be able to grant her this wish. If yo need additional details about our relationship, please do not hesitate to reach me via email. I would greatly appreicate it if you could take this message in consideration by granting us with this money that we could use towards our wedding. Thanks for allowing me with the opportunity to share my story with you and for taking time out of your schedule to read it. Have a good day.
