Also, I'm not using that person for makeup. I'm using Adrienne from Waves.

 

Can't believe there's only 39 days left! (screaming)!!!!

Welcome Mike! So nice to see an interested party!

 

Jenny - ditto on that! Mine only cares about food, music and what he gets to wear. LOL....

 

Jes - OMG!! 2am?! WOW... At least you'll be super pumped and excited to not even feel tired. YAY!!! Can't believe you're leaving so soon. How did these months fly by?

[danielle6680]

Ditto on all of those! 

 

I got in touch with Marvin and his prices for boutonnieres and corsages are half of what the Royal is charging.  Thank you so much for the recommendation.   I think we're going to ask the best man's wife and sister to meet Marvin for pick-up to avoid the outside vendor fee.  We chose to only have a best man and MOH in the bridal party, so I can't ask bridesmaids to do the pick-up.

Thank you!

Welcome sirkeen! Be sure to add your date to our list!

I've neglected to post on here, but I have tried to keep up with the topics!  My fiancee and I are getting married on November 30th, 2010 at RPDC (We should see Jenny310 and FutureMrsYak there!).  I just got a phone call from Elsa (who has been pretty good, maybe a bit disorganized at some points) asking if we had arranged a person to conduct our ceremony.  I definitely overlooked this aspect!  I thought it was included in our package!!!!!!!!! They will provided somebody for 400$ she said..

 

We are having a symbolic ceremony only, so can anyone recommend someone to hold the ceremony for us?!  Bah, 28 days to the wedding, EEEK!

 

MIKE.... Probably one of the few guys doing planning around here!

 

LMBO! Too funny! How you doing?

Thanks! I already have their price. It's a little over what I can squeeze out at the last minute.

Yes. LOL!  I will PM it to you. I think we are going with the resort photographer. We already have a camcorder and a tripod but my FI doesn't want any guest to have to "work."

All Brides - Are you ladies doing a wedding video? If so, are any of you buying one of the resort packages? I was going to buy a camcorder and have a relative be in charge, at least that way, we get a video and we get to keep the camera for roughly the same cost.  Now I am reconsidering, due to quality concerns.  What does everyone think? Am I taking being a "budget bride" too far? Any feedback is greatly appreciated!

 

 

We're all PATIENTLY WAITING! LOL!

Ladies, if you haven't voted for the Member of the Month for October yet, make sure you vote for Jess. The polls will close today. This is her last chance to me the Bride-to-be MOTM!

[kellygrrrl]

GOOD CALL, msglave. 6 more votes and she's in the lead! : )
