awwww.....thanks you guys!!
1) The dress is Nicole Miller...good eye!
2)We ordered a chocolate cake but got Vanilla(the hotel gave us our money back) it was a mix up in the kitchen and the planners were livid!.....I would just get the one that comes with the package because all of our guests were drunk and wanted to party and not eat cake!! Not one person ate it!! The desert at the restaurant is far superior to the cake as well! But it was pretty and fun to cut and I am glad we had one!!

Oh and yes, do your cocktail hour in the lobby bar because it is inside and air conditioned.... we did ours at the lirico and they had us outdoors so it was hot!!! You could ask for the Lirico indoors...I just assumed we'd be inside but alas no!! It was beautiful though!

Wow, I can't believe those pics are from the resort photographer! That person did such an amazing job! And I absolutely LOVE your dress and necklace. I love that you broke out of the traditional. The necklace went very well with your dress. Congrats!!!

Thank you for your kind words...the necklace is banana republic online...surprisingly they don't sell it in the stores!
