It's not a dream. It's a FREE dream wedding.
Tell your friends to register today.

Roman Jewelers has been celebrating love for twenty years.
Everything we have achieved as a company is because of people like you.

How better to show our gratitude than to commemorate one lucky couple's love, by giving away the wedding of a lifetime. The Roman Jewelers Wedding is a luxury wedding given away to one lucky couple by Roman Jewelers.

Imagine, everything to make a fantasy wedding absolutely free. YOU--or your friend--could be our lucky bride and groom!

Tell us your compelling love story at The Roman Jewelers Wedding Audition.

August 15th, 2009 at 10:00am @ Bridgewater Commons
(but the doors will open at 7:00am)
20 semi-finalist couples will be announced at 5:00pm

Raritan Valley Habitat will benefit because after the semi-finalists are chosen at the audition, the couples will have to develop plans for a “good deed for one of ten charities.” The ten couples whose plans are most impressive will execute their philanthropic initiative.

You could be one step closer to winning an unforgettable wedding.

The Devils Alumni Hockey Classic a HUGE Success

A great event on Sunday, March 15 at Bridgewater Sports Arena was enjoyed by over 500 people who came out to see and meet many Devils’ Alumni including Bruce Driver, Ken Daneyko and Chico Resch. Ticket sales, photos with the Stanley Cup, sponsorships and program advertisements brought RVHFH almost $14,000 in fundraising. Special thanks to the Devils’ Alumni and the Bombers Hockey Club for such a wonderful opportunity, and a great time!

Additional thanks go to our Stanley Cup Sponsor
State Electrical and Motor Service, Inc. and the Hockey Hall of Fame
