jean-marcus

its $0.89 in Dubai right now. we could drive there.. gas up and drive back for less then it is here right now hahah

HELLO... I'M JEAN-MARCUS STROLE.... AND I APPROVE THIS MESSAGE.. hahahaha... i don't think ive ever had someone as excited to have me as their photographer... can't even tell you how nice that is to hear. i better not dissapoint

yaaaa. who hasnt.. i have their three wick frostberry or whatever its called. its YUMMMYYYYY.... my friend is the second or first seller of partylite in the US.

you have a very valid point there... KK is a pivotal role in the SBTB universe... in a way i guess i liked the miss bliss years because screetch was just screetch and not some uber dork. they made him into suuuuuch a douche bag in the hs years. i liked when he was just nerdy and not annoying...

I personally liked when the girls forms the singing group "Hot Sundae." oh wow... sbtbmbd (saved by the bell miss bliss days) is some of the best... tahts just classic sbtb. it was just so pure then...

okay everyone.. i cant believe we forgot about one of the best songs on SBTB ever..... its not a very often seen episode but a classic one from the miss bliss days... remember when miss bliss's niece colleen came to bayside and she was actually "STEVIE" the pop star. and she sang that song "hotline" ... rememmber.. " i need a hotline to your heart."

Well, pizza too, but cake is the most important...lol oh on that note.. umm ya pizza in DC..... sooooo not NY pizza. how dare they say its ny style pizza but yes. i do love me some pizza and cake and ya. yumm. now im hungry

Quote: Originally Posted by Sarah Very nice And I'm in love with her cake... i didnt get any cake... it was all served up before i got a chance to snag a slice... saddnesss cake is the reason i do what i do. its not the travel, or the money, or the creativness or the people or the fact i get to have the best job in the world... ITS THE CAKE haha

I love that you can stand on any one street corner in DC and hear so many different languages being spoken. Even though the traffic is horrendous at all hours of the day (and night) and it is very expensive to live, there are so many things to do that are free and there are plenty of beautiful views. We also have some of the best schools in the country. Didn't we have 15 in this area in of the top 100 schools in the country? JM ~ It really was just the traffic that bothers you huh? I am a very laid back person too and I am on the verge of road rage everyday!! Please don't hate our city. i gotta admit dc has really turned around crime wise from back in the day. i dont think you are the murder capital anymore like you were 10 years ago any big city is gonna have crime and traffic. just atleast in new york the roads make sense . one street has one name (not 3) haha DONT WORRY DC'ers... i dnt hate hate our city. just the traffic which really skews my view on the place. we have traffic in seattle too but we're workin on it

(you all should know that about me by now) its tongue in cheek.. really what it boils down to is me hating traffic and terrible roads and getting lost.. Quote: Originally Posted by Christine well on certain occasions of course you have to drive, however when you live here its not all that bad since you can take the metro most days. And Nikki is right in the City Georgetown is beautiful and at least its got tons of security everywhere you go. I don't think its worse than NYC which personally to me is very gray except for Central Park. actually i did spend a wee bit of time in georgetown and it was pretty cool. one great thign it has over NYC is that its not as stressful as NYC.. that i cant stand about nyc. i am west coast.. we are all layed back easy going, dont stress us out kind of people Quote: Originally Posted by StephanieMN I see he is from Seattle so just start diggin in on his town. That might make you feel better Kinda of like "You mama" jokes. hit me with seattle bashing.. i can take it i hear it all the time. im used to it .. of course all people can really say about us is that "it rains a lot" which technically it only does in the winter to early spring. but i love a good little yo mamma battle hehehe

Just stunning and right next door if you are at Sandos. It really makes this a unique option. sadly though its being erroded away. im glad they put up those barricades to stop the erosion. are the beaches staying in tact now?

Quote: Originally Posted by Christine now now, Northern VA is actually beautiful. We came from Nevada that is dry, brown, and has no greenery at all and VA is amazingly green and scenic. DC is beautiful if you enjoy beautiful buildings. As for driving, I agree its frustrating however that's what public transportation is for, take the metro anytime you're in the city. DH and I love it here and are really happy with our experience in the past two years here. you said it there though. not actually dc it self though. and yes. its got beautiful buildings and cool monuments and history to it. and do you really think i can take public transportation to a wedding hehehe... here in seattle im an avid PT user. i joke around about my private cheauffer on the "city limo" all the time. Quote: Originally Posted by Morgan I love DC. But, we only go there on weekends. Now that we live about 4 hours from DC, people fly up to see us & we drive there for the weekend. So much to do & it's all free but see you dont actually LIVE in dc so you just go to visit it.. Quote: Originally Posted by nikkianddean JM- i feel you on driving in DC!!! I went to school there and I swear I never got it right. I think there are a couple nice places to take pictures. I always thougth the cobblestone in Georgeton ws cute and the national mall has (some) nice spots....the reflection pond I didn;t realize it was so expensive though. Besides the ticket would you say it's more than San Francisco or New York? i think if they ripped out every single road and rebuilt them dc might actually have a fighting chance

so by top 5 you mean they are ranked as 1, 3, 4, and 5 number 2 being tijuana hahah

ahh another aussie bride... congrats on finding this little jewel of a website. its a big help for anyone even remotely involved with it or who even glances at it.... happy plannings to you and i hope you post your pictures from your italian wedding

when i was waiting tables back in the day i used to love reading peoples names on their credit cards... one lady was named lipstick and i also waited on like a 90 year old man named william h shakespear.. oh and ummm my personal favorite a lady named MRS. COCKBURN hahaha

hey der... welcome to de forum (thought id do a little minne-sotta accent there for a bit anyways you will love this site. you will find lots of great information and ideas on when a good time to be married and where... happy planning

okay so i just got back from shooting another wedding in our nations capital.. UGH.. i hate hate hate that city. sorry for anyone who likes it (but ive never found a single person who can claim that they love living there) the biggest head ache about that place (besides being way too expensive) is that driving there is the biggest pain in the ass... even with navigation you get lost. 3 different high ways should NOT share the same road. thats just stupid. have one road be named one thing and another road named something else... who came up with that dumbasss plan. stupid city engineers should be hung but some unpleasant places. and its way too expensive. a ticket there costs like 200 bucks more then flying to new york.. and its the same fricking distance. and theres nothing really GREAT about the city. no pretty view no beautiful scenery. sure they got great museums and monuments and history to it. but come on... are you really going to go to a museum every day. so once you are done seeing all taht you are left with nothing great haha BUTTTTTT the wedding was really nice and the couple was adorable and i got some great pictures WHICH ill be posting on the blog. i am half ways done already with the pictures becuase i just stayed in the hotel room and worked on the pictures instead of going out hope you all have hade a great holiday weekend

loooved the pics... kudos to your photographer
