Yay! Congrats!!

Just so you AS girls know... there is some sort of construction there every day. I'm not kidding something is always being fixed, repaired etc. It didn't ruin anyone's stay or upset or inconvenience anyone. No one even mentioned it to me, it's just very obvious.

Or just Le Chique? Chong No other restaurants are reservation only. You wouldn't have to make previous reservations unless you wanted a bunch of people to eat together, then they have to arrange tables and whatnot. Quote: Originally Posted by chong About ceremony...

Thanks! chong I wrote my entire ceremony word for word and had personal vows as well. We also included a hand ceremony in there and opted out of the sand ceremony. My WC let me know the minister may ask "Who gives away this woman" even though I had not put it in my ceremony and she did, glad I was forewarned about this because my Uncle (who gave me away) came up with a good response. Quote: Originally Posted by chong Oh.. another question. Did anyone run through the ceremony stuff to make sure that everyone knows where to stand, where to go, etc? I don't think it will be too difficult but you never know. Any suggestions? Chong Yep, we were late to the ceremony rehersal on the Sky Deck but made it up there and did it in the dark regardless, which was actually pretty fun. When I say dark, I mean DARK. The moon wasn't showing for any light but it took less than 10 minutes and everyone had a blast. I was planning to do a reception entrance rehersal but forgot, we still did the entrance just reverse the order and dance in, simple!

Also do flowers and stuff have to come from LOMAS? I used neither, based on past bad reviews and me and my Type A thing going on. I decided to buy good makeup, practice and do it myself. Interesting enough, people asked me who did my makeup because they loved it! My hairdresser is a long-time friend who ended up coming to the wedding and doing my hair so I got lucky.

I tried making reservations twice when I was there and they were all booked up and they told me you had to make reservations 3 days prior.

I just got 1,125 professional pictures from my photographer of our wedding and TTD and I've been on cloud 9 allllll day

Great planning thread Shannon!!! Looks like you had an incredible wedding. I love all the thoughtful gifts to your participants

Di & Meli - I will echo the wise Mrs. here and say don't worry, seriously just be ready to have the best day of your life, everything will be great Good luck, have a safe trip, I'll be thinking about you on wedding day!

I can't download them either, they are protected and have the watermark. I'll get a disk with them in a few weeks. There's plenty of bloopers in there if you will as well

Thanks Maegan and Amy, both your novels/entries were well worth it, I feel a sense of calm now. OH good! So glad we could help Please don't be stressed, just keep thinking about your big day... it's all about you and your husband that day and you'll see that nothing else matters

I got all 1,125 of my pro pix today and spent the entire day going through them at work... I've felt giddy and floaty allll day long, like reliving my wedding day all over again... I'm so jealous of you B2B's, you are going to have the time of your lives! My AHR/Cocktail Reception party is this Friday... my friends are planning and throwing it and it's so strange to be in the dark and not have to organize everything, my Type A part of my personality is freaking out a bit. I don't even know who's coming! Luckily I have some things to do for my Vegas wedding which I'm stoked about. I have about 25 or so people coming to that.

I can find the website if you want but I don't recommend them... when I got the coils all the metal rings had rust on them that my husband spent hours scrubbing off =/

There is no way I'll be getting any sleep tonight! I'M SO EXCITED FOR YOU!!! Have a safe trip, good luck, everything will be wonderful and your day will be amazing, I have no doubt! Have an amazing time and cherish every moment on your wedding day

Thanks again for the wonderful information! Chong Thanks Chong! I haven't even done my review yet, that's next!

Quote: Originally Posted by ~Nicole~ Amy, you're the sweetest! Even though you were still stressing, I'm so glad that you took in what I said. You deserved a perfect wedding, and I knew you'd get it . Now I have you to back me up when people think I'm crazy for what I try to tell them lol! Thank you girl! I'll never forget how right you were so I trust you forever now! Anyone that doubts you or thinks you are crazy, just send them my way, a happy customer
