Thanks! I actually looked at your site and saw your work when she recommeded you on an earlier post. I do like what you do. Problem is, we are soooo over our budget we are probably going to have to stick with the sucky options that the resort offers. I will keep an eye out for those pics tho.

I understand and respect that. Keep me in mind if things change. I do have the benefit of not needing to stay at the resort, but there still is the vendor fee.
If I book something else during the same time frame there is always the option of "Day After" shoot too.

Ok, thanks! I'm crossing my fingers that more money will mysteriously appear (preferably from his parents, lol). But I will definitely keep you in mind. In the meantime, can you send me your pricing info? I'll show my fiance your work and see if he'll budge.

Good morning ladies

 

I am on cloud 9!!! I had THE most amazing night at my hen do on Saturday. I still can't stop grinning and my voice is almost non-existent! but it was just what I needed. A night out with amazing friends and no stresses, just relaxing and having a good time (and getting drunk! lol). the night wasn't without it's dramas but it was brilliant nevertheless. got back to my friends at about 4.30am and think we went to bed about 5.30am haha love it!

 

pics are on my facebook for those who want to see (and still other people's pictures to come). sorry I'm at work now and am strapped for time to try and get them onto photobucket and then copy links etc etc (yep, I'm being lazy!! lol)

 

the dress I ended up wearing was one I ordered after complaining to the company that sent me the wrong one. They gave me a full refund for the other dress, including my cost of next day delivery, and gave me 10% off the new dress I ordered and sent it next day delivery free of charge

 

My BF (the one who pulled out of Mexico) turned up late she (and her mate) didn't even make it to the meal, and got to the club about 11pm. I should be bothered (everyone else there was) but I decided that if I did, it would only ruin my night and I didn't want anything to do that so I just accepted it and moved on, but the things are being stored in the back of my mind until after the wedding!

 

I had my hair trial on Saturday too and I will upload the pics on here because I was soooo happy with it. now all I have to do is pray the stylists at the hotel can recreate it! good thing is, that hairstyle then also formed the basis for my hair for my hen night (my hairdresser just took the tiara out and let most of the curls out so I had a half-up, half-down do)

 

I also took my engagement ring into the jewellars yesterday to get some scratches buffed out before the wedding....so now I am weirdly engagement-ring-less. I have moved my ring from my right hand there instead so I at least have something.

 

can't believe the weekend's over already....now no more time off until we actually fly out. 3 full weeks left of work!!!!!!!!!! and then 3 weeks off!! woooooooooo!

[~Katie~]

I'm really sorry to those of you that have been having a tough time of it of late. it seems to be the way a lot of us are feeling at the moment. I thought I was doing alright until I got sent the wrong dress and that just pushed me right over the edge. I was obviously stressed about everything but had been hiding it...then it took for one thing to go wrong and I was a state. good news is, it seems like a totally normal thing to be going through. and emotions is one of those things you just have to go with....so don't feel bad for feeling how you're feeling girls - it's the whole journey that makes this so rewarding when we get there.

 

and the same goes for those arguing with their FI. those who've been on this thread longer may remember there was a load of us who seemed - all at the same time - to be having huge major rows with FIs and we all had had to have 'the talk' and assess if we were making the right decisions. I'm not saying it's easy, just that it's normal and try not to think too much of it. sometimes we need to have these to get things off our chest and remember why we love each other and are doing what we're doing.

 

As for those with problems with 'friends', if my night on Saturday taught me anything, it was who are real friends and how precious they are...those are the ones that matter. this wedding has brought a lot of things into perspective and shown people in a different light (whether that be a better one or worse one). I know which I will make more effort with and treasure more, and those that will probably just become a name on the Christmas card list

 

sorry for the general response

Katie, sounds like it was an awesome evening! So happy for you that it all turned out And I think that was great that you moved on from the girl who showed up late and tried to not let it get to you...I know that can be hard to do. I'm so excited for you that you are leaving in 3 weeks! YAY!

I am actually flying my photographer in. Should be a fun weekend...Boudoir shoot, engagement pics, and Jazz Fest!!! Whoo hoo!! My FI's brother and fiance live in Nola. It is definitely one of our favorite places...we go about 10 times a year. HOw long have you lived there? Do you love it? Any suggestions for some cool picture spots? We were thinking some in the Quarter/Jackson square, some on the street car to Uptown/Garden District, and then some at the Columns hotel, etc down there.
