Nope, I think it is standard now to have it at the ceremony

Congratulations. You looked beautiful.
Thanks for all the pictures..it does look beautiful there. You got me excited.
You said in your review, Michael will not allow the guests to take pictures?
did they give you a selection to look at for set up of the gazebo (aka for upgrades, examples you could do)?

Lol.. She baked the cakes here in the US (6 - fruit cakes), then carried them on the plane as carry ons (I had to make her two custom bags to carry them in)

Once she got there she did all the fondant and stenciling in her room. She carried 15 pounds of fondant in her suitcase plus all her supplies! We thought they were going to take the fondant thinking it was bomb supplies!

Here are some pics of her doing the cake in the room:

I dont know if he does it intentionally or not, but my guests complained they couldnt get a picture because him or the other photographer that was there would either step into the shot or always be in the way.

They do give you examples of upgrades for the gazebo as well, but if I remember it is really expensive for the upgrades. I know there is a thread that has all the prices and photos of the upgrades on here as well. If I can find the thread I will give it a bump for you.

the music...you said you hooked your ipod up to speakers
I am thinking I don't want the steel drum band..but was wondering if they had something to play music with.
Can you get these speakers anywhere??

Wow! That's dedication. Beautiful cake and even more so because she went to all that trouble for you.
