I hired Juan, and I know this has been said before but this is one of the only ways you will be able to remember your wedding. So pictures was at the top of my list when it came to budget. Can you cut back anywhere else?

Ok so don't most of the resorts give you plastic cups, did your guests use them? I have been going back and forth with this idea, and now I can't decide.

very cute pictures! Thanks for sharing! Looks like you had a blast!!

those look cool, I'm curious to see if you like them nicole. I ordered 2000 silk rose petals on e-bay and they are awesome. They look real, and i'm just using them for the aisle and maybe on the tables, I haven't decided yet. They were $20. Just a thought.

I'm not sure about this either, I have 2 newborns coming and I'm not counting them in my numbers. Isn't that right? Also then I only have 1-2 kids so I just put them at there parents table and they can figure somthing out to do. I'm not going to worry about it. You have 10 kids coming I would maybe plan something then for them? I think the coloring books would be a good idea, and I also like the candy idea!

Congrats Glenda you are hilarious!!

Congrats you look beautiful!

Congrats Melissa, I'm so happy everything ended up turning out just the way you wanted it! I still can't believe about your blood tests!! Crazy!! I can't wait to see your pictures!!

wow anny, those are so nice! I love them! Great work, and I know you had to make so many so hats off to you!!

Tammy, my honest opinion would be no necklace and more of a dangly earring. I think that would look stunning!

Congrats they look great!!!!

Tammy, I'm in the same boat as you, I can't decide if I want it bustled the whole time or have a train in the beginning! Maybe since you are getting pics before then I would have it bustled and let it back down for your ceremony.

Christine you look hot!! Your FI is going to love them!!

those came out great! I love them! Nice work!!

I loved all of your details!!! you looked Gorgeous!!!! Congrats!!!

FYI - I got my b-pic album done by Leigh - i don't have it yet, but i will take pics once I get it. i am sure i will love it - leigh sent me a preview, and i am super excited! we (ok, i say we like leigh and i are giving the book to paul, weird!) ... I am getting "paul's little black book" embossed on the front. Oh ann I would love to see some of your pics if you want to share! I will for sure share pics and let you know how it goes!

I'm not worrying about it either, I have 7 BM's and FI has 9 GM. I think it will still look ok! ( I think it is insane that we are having that many but oh well) So don't stress about it!

Congrats and very pretty ring!!

Quote: Originally Posted by akh Natalie - where are you doing your b-pics, or with who? How exciting - i didn't know that you had booked them - YAY!! Yes I'm doing them, I actually booked with Bobby. She seems great and I'm really excited! There was no way for me to get to Leigh in Cali. and I really wanted to do them so Bobby is driving up here on Tuesday. I will let you know how they go.

My rates for them start at $1795 BUT... most of my packages INCLUDE one of these so it saves you money. Your cover on the books are really cool! Thanks for sharing, they look great!

Quote: Originally Posted by Nrvsbride Yeah I think 7 hours is a lot better. Hmmm...I would rather use the extra money and get b-pics. You know assuming scientist can find a cure for my fat arse before then. -Glenda Ya I hear ya on the cure for fat arse, but you are super skinny so I don't know what you are talking about!! I have my B-pcs this coming Tuesday and I'm really excited for them! I hope they go well!

Maybe I should do a trash the dress session or something. Or a day after. Who knows? But I am excited about the book even if it is going to cost a fortune. FI thinks it is so worth it so there you have it. To all the girls who want it just tell your FIs what my FI says to me "Happy wife, happy life". -Glenda Glenda so funny about the "Happy wife, Happy life" comment my FI has said that to me numerous times! I think it is so funny! That is exactly what I thought about as well with Juan. We are having him from 4:00-11:00 and then doing a hour and a half fun day with him. I wanted some non wedding pictures! That is always a thought for you if you think that 10 hours will be too much in one day.

Quote: Originally Posted by Nrvsbride I am getting the photo album from Juan that costs $2,200. I can't even think of this cost b/c it makes me want to pass out. However, I know it will be amazing and photos are an important part of the wedding. But it just makes everything else so NOT affordable. I know glenda it is so expensive but his work is so amazing and that is the only thing that you will have to capture all of your wedding. So it will be well worth it in the long run! I just convinced my FI to have a fun day with Juan after the wedding so I'm really excited about that as well. I know you are spending a fortune on photography are you doing this as well or are you just having him all day on your wedding day? -Glenda Quote: Originally Posted by kucka00 Who is the photogrepher? I'm just curious because my best friend used Claudia Rodrigues and I'm not sure if she had the option of getting an album because she didn't. She just got all the prints sent to her as well as a CD version of them. Juan Carlos-Tapia-- He is great!
