Pierre, man, this is going to be so much fun I CAN'T WAIT. David and I are both gonna come; save a little time for some hoops... maybe early Saturday afternoon before you have to get dressed up and all that.

Peace, darius

[Tom Atkinson]

My man, Pierre! Here's my RSVP, I will most definitely be at your and Charla's wedding, congratulations to the both of you! And seeing who just RSVP'd ahead of me, it looks like the House of Dis is going to be having a reunion there, too!

Ehhhhhhhh. Pierre P! You know I can't miss this.
I'm looking forward to your blessed day. I need to tell you that even though I am in no position to be saying this but I am still extremely proud of you for all of your many accomplishments. Most recently this one. Charla.........you are awesome. Welcome to 'la familia'. I can't wait to see both of you. Much love. HPB - The S

[Israil Steen]

I'm so excited for you both! I will definitely be there with my friend Jamila who has never been to a Baha'i wedding, what a first for her! Congratulations!! Israil

[Karen Bermann-Mazibuko]

yea!! Em and I will be there for sure :)
Lots of love to you both.

[Mary Mills]

Charla,
It was so nice of you to include me on the guest list. I regret I will be unable to attend. My work will have me in Atlanta the last two weeks of September. I would love to see you again when you find yourself back in North Carolina sometime. I wish you and Pierre all the best. Congratulations. Mary

Charla and Pierre,
I can't begin to compete with the literary genuises that have already posted to your wedding site! So, I will simply tell you that our hearts (Walter and mine) are so filled with joy and anticipation -- well -- WE'RE JUST BUBBLIN'!! Like Rena, we'll be there with bells on our toes - and on our dancin' shoes. So get ready to do the Electric Marriage Slide (just a little sumthin' sumthin' from the southside!!)

Huge love to y'all both

Dear friends,

I would not miss your celebration for anything. Sorry for the delay in responding! You know us old folks, we become forgetful.

Regards,
Manuchehr

Charla & Pierre,

I guess it's about time someone from the family chimed in on this website. We've only been anticipating this day, like, since forever. And speaking for Shawn and I, we couldn't be happier that you two have found each other. Charla, I'm reading this webpage trying not to roll my eyes in all the sappiness and then I find myself trying not to cry. What are those tears about? Happiness for you I guess. I'm going back to rolling my eyes - its more normal for me. NO EMOTION WILL BE DISPLAYED!!! I can handle this I promise, but it just occurred to me how I might lose it on Sept. 25th. Please keep me busy that day so I won't think about it too much. Oh my goodness - enough of that.

Sierra is sitting with me now and wants to say how excited she is to be a flower girl. We better think of something for her to do involving flowers! I've got some ideas - I'll talk to you about it later.

I guess you don't need our RSVP. Did you count the number in our family correctly? It's 24. Is it possible to get separate hotels for all of us? It might be safer. The whole klan in the big city for a weekend could get out of hand. Sure you don't want to elope?

Can't wait to see you both for the "meet the parents" dinner on Saturday in Atlanta. Okay, the tears are gone. I just remembered I've got too much to do. Lots of love.

[Gloria M]

Dearest Charla
Nothing makes me happier than knowing you are so happy. I am RSVPing to let you know I will be there, got my ticket, booked a car and now I am ready to do as you wish. Can't wait to meet your life partner, sorry Farzad could not come but he will be there in spirit. Much love Gloria

[Renan and Bree]

Pierre & Charla,

Bree & I are watching your every step.... Maybe we can move our date up to beat you guys to the punch! Just kidding. We appreciate all your help(!) and look forward to spending time with y'all on that special day! Congratulations!!!

[Rena]

Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! am sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo happy for you! I can't wait to see you on your wonderful day of happiness. I will be there with bells on. Really, BELLS!!! Wouldn't miss it for the world!!!!

[Lisa and Jimmy]

We just booked our flights, ya'll better be ready for Charla's "old friends"...we have stories! Charla be worried!!!!!ha, ha!

[Pierre]

OH OH,

I can hear the theme from Monday Night Football...This is going to be an exciting matchup!!!!!

[kari]

Robin -- I'll let you catch the bouquet, but will you consider it passing over to me since you're already engaged? :)

[andre and robin]

hi guys, we are genuinely looking forward to your very special day!

charla, i am working on my arm muscles and perfecting my reach in order to catch the bouquet. i have always wanted to catch one before i get married and i think this will be my last opportunity. :)

P, I am very happy for you dawg, looking forward sharing you and Charla's big day. I have to admit I am eager to see the "special table" too :)

[sarah and jim]

love the website -
we'll be there! wouldn't miss it!

[Fran and Wayne]

Speaking from the experience of being married for 44 wonderful years, 34 of them as Baha'is, we want to wish both of you the most joyous life ahead when you become united in holy matrimony. Charla, we have known you and your family since you were only 5 years old. We love you and are thrilled and pleased for you. Pierre, though we haven't met we know you must be very special because we know Charla. May the two of you always be best friends, as we are. May you always be spiritual soulmates, as we are. We look forward to your special day. We will be there!

[lacey]

I'm comin', yo. This website is so cute it has LURED me into the Charla and Pierre web!

[Charla]

Pierre and I are lovin' the comments!!! From the "profundities" of Nevin and Dennis, to the surprise note from my best childhood friend, Lisa T., to Miss Emma, our youngest blogger, to the encouraging words of my dear Faith -- and all the love in between -- thanks! We're soaking it all in!

[kari]

I know I mentioned this last night, but thought I'd make my RSVP official. There is no place I'd rather be in September than at the wedding of Charla and Pierre. And, as I also mentioned last night, I might even wear a skirt!

[Faith]

Wow, I can't even know where to begin, life is so full and just when you think your ready to give up one of the greatest gifts in life comes along!!! Pierre, you have been such a pillar in Charla's life, never wavering, always knowing exactly who she is and never not for a moment forgetting, there could be NO better match for this very wonderful, very beautiful, very lovely woman. Charla, I could not think of anyone more wonderful for you than Pierre - How kind God is to bring you both together, I hope you both are rejoicing!!! Charla, I know how much stress gets to you, but this is meant to be one of the most wonderful times in your life, know that this too shall pass - YOU deserve to be happy!!! That should be your mantra from now on... Repeat it over and over again, anytime a negative thought comes into your mind, repeat over and over "I deserve to be happy, I deserve to be happy, I deserve to be happy..." until you finally believe it and accept it. I love you both and am so happy to have a new man in our circle :)
Oh and by the way, I'll be there!!! This is my RSVP!

[Aimee]

We've been enjoying your website tonight- especially the words between you two, Charla & Pierre. I told our daughter Emma that this is how I would want the conversation to be between her and the man she loves. She smiled and is only nine now. What a nice example of love you two are already.

Love , Aimee

[Dennis]

To a woman whose friendship I've come to treasure........

To a man whose treasure is his gift of friendship,,,,,

How lucky I am to know them both.

Dennis

P.S. Don't even think my next entry will be so profound. Let the jokes begin.....
