Al is a very giving and loving person. He is completely committed to my security and my happiness. He is a very hard worker, continues to excel in his field, goes above and beyond each day to make a difference and is an excellent provider. He always wants the best for me and wants to make sure that life only gives me the best. To this day, he is an excellent son to his parents. He checks in with them every day to make sure that they are all right and that they have all that they need. This quality demonstrates to me his loving and caring nature.

Denise is without question the most honest person I have met. You can always count on her to give her all. She is attractive, intelligent, well mannered and has dignity and grace. She gives me the stability in my life that I always wanted but never had before we met. I feel very lucky to be married to her and look forward to becoming parents together!

We are both very close to our families. We spend every holiday with our family. In our opinion, it wouldn't be a holiday without our families. We are very lucky that our immediate family all live within one hour of our home so we are the "hosts" of all of the holidays. We are fortunate that we have a very large comfortable home so having our family over is convenient. We always have Al's parents and my mother, her husband and my grandmother over for Easter, Mother's Day, Father's Day, birthdays, Thanksgiving and Christmas. We also started our own Christmas holiday party that we invite our immediate family, cousins and friends. It is such a festive time of the year we really enjoy spending time with our families. We are also very lucky that everyone really gets along and enjoys each other's company. It is a pleasant and fun visit for all. We look forward to having a new member of our family to share our love and traditions with.

Denise also has a favorite tradition of baking over 50 dozen holiday cookies with her mother and grandmother. This tradition has been going on for over 20 years. The baking usually lasts for two or three days and results in many delicious cookies. It is something that we all look forward to.

Our entire family are New York Yankee baseball fans. At least once a year Al, Denise, her mother and grandmother attend a Yankee Game. It is usually on a Saturday afternoon. Our day starts very early so that we can park in the garage next to the Stadium. We then have brunch in the Stadium Club and then enjoy an afternoon of baseball. If possible, we try to get into Monument Park usually crowded but is worth the wait. This is something we all look forward to and enjoy. We have had many great times together at the stadium.

We love spending time on the beach during the weekends in the summer. We both love to read on the beach, walk on the beach and swim in the pool that is right on the beach. It is fun and also very relaxing. We purchased bikes for our summer home and always bike to the beach or just ride our bikes around the lake and town. When it isn't beach weather we enjoy playing golf. We play together and also play with our friends. During the winter months, we really enjoy going to a movie on a Sunday afternoon. We both always want to see a comedy.

We also enjoy entertaining. Whenever possible, we invite friends over for dinner or for a small friend/family gathering. We prefer to spend time in our home entertaining rather than just going out to dinner.

Recently our cousin had a bowling party and we had so much fun catching up and doing an activity we hadn't done in some time.
