YIkes. They really know how to get your $$$ for the pics. Is there anyone that is going with you that can take some nice photos as well? That is always an option so you can get one of there packages and then have nice pics from one of the guests. I think after reading that email, I would be more likely to get the CD with the 40 pics for $350 and leave it at that. Then you can print them off in whatever size you want and make your own book through one of the online photo labs or get it done at a photolab in your area. That something you will have to decide. Is is important for you to have the disc with pics? Or is it more improtant to get some actual prints from them?

Ok. So I looked at the photo packages, and if your budget is $1500 max and the video is going to be $850, then your best choice would be to get the Package I. This package is the one that costs $500 but if you could possibley manage to slurge an extra $100, I would totally get the Package II (gold). This includes pics from the whole day and for this price you will get 75 pics that are 5X7, 10 pics that are 8x10, and 1 pic that is 12x8. If you can't spend the extra cash, I would stick with the other package which includes 50 - 5x7 pics, 5 - 8x10 pics and 1 - 12x8 pic. Then I would see about getting a CD with all the pics on it as well as see what that would cost. Did that help you out at all?

That dress looks soooo good on you. I think you are right when you said you found "The Dress!"

I don't think that it looks too kiddie. I you want you could maybe just narrow the waist tie so it isn't so big and it ties smaller in the back. My Mom is better at seeing these things, so I will ask her opinon too. By the way, I love that little dress, it is soooo sweet.

My Mom is going to make me a mock dress of my wedding dress so it is a bit lighter weight and I don't have to worry about it getting wrecked since we are having an AHR. So far the reports I have heard from others is that their dress was fine and ended up cleaner after the TTD shoot then when they started it (this is if they used the same dress). I am still unsure since I have colour in my dress and I don't want it to run.

Welcome to the forum and happy planning! You will find loads of info here to help you out along the way!

Welcome to the forum and happy planning!

There is nothing showing up on here as far as your pack details from the photog. Maybe you just haven't gotten the info posted yet?

Congratulations!!! Hope your wedding day was everything you imagined and more.

He used to joke about getting married in innertubes floating down the creek! The same creek we are getting married beside. But then I got him on a plane and down to the Dominican, and then we was excited about getting married there instead. LMAO

My favorite is the mint areo chocolate bar, but out of this list, definately the twix bars.

I am so looking forward to doing TTD in a few months. Seeing this thread and these pics makes me more excited!!!!

Welcome to the forum and happy planning!!!!

I voted for #2. I like the handles. Since you seem to have no worries of room in the luggage and the cost isn't an issue for you, I say go with the handles.

I think that they look great! The only thing that bothered me really was the capital T on the word together. Like it was mentioned, it is still part of the sentence. Congrats on putting in your order, that must be a big relief to cross that off the list of To Do's!

Welcome the forum and happy planning! Once it becomes offical, you will have make sure you let us know and post pics of the ring! We are pic whores on here, LOL

I don't know what I am going to wear yet, but FI can wear his nice wranglers, his ropers and one of his western shirts for it. This can be his 'cowboy theme' that he was thinking of doing with the beach theme. (That got squashed! LOL)

We just book yesterday for the same day, but we won't be doing it until 7pm since our one witness has to drive 2 hours to get here and she has to work that day. I agree, it is coming up fast thought!

Welcome to the forum and happy planning!

These are a lot of great looking cakes.

Those are nice and I likethe idea of the crystals on them. We already have a cake topper that is laser engraved with our names and wedding date and it lights up. We got it off ebay too.

That is cute. I think the only wayto get it there in one piece would be to pack it in the box it gets to you in.

Those look so cute. I can't wait to see how they turn out for you!
