From what Ive seen their photos are not great at all and they charge a ridiculous amount of money for less than average photos

Yeah I just figured my mom would be snapping plenty of photos so I wasnt too worried about it.

Good, I'm glad you'll get some pictures of the getting ready then!!  I love seeing "Getting Ready" pictures!

Brandy, that sucks they don't allow outside vendors to come in for your wedding. You'd think they wouldn't care since they're making so much money from us already! I didn't like the photog at our resort either and they charged a TON! We're bringing our own photographers down with us that did our engagement photos and they're amazing and it is only costing us a little more than the resort charges for their photographers!! We're not paying vendor fees either because they're staying at the hotel with our group. I really wish these hotel chains didn't try to strong arm people to use their services. Especially when we're already bringing ~20-40 people with us!!! They should just have good services that people want to use!!! On a side note, I've been up for 27 hours now...Probably won't get any sleep for at least another 8-9 hours. This day is brutal!!! I'm going to crash so hard tonight!

Char - why are you up for so long? That's horrible.

April 2011 Brides,

 

At what time of the day are you having your ceremony??? I can't decide what time to have mine at...

Thanks Lisa and Mocha! We actually bought a Groupon for it about 6 months ago. The group on included a free consultation to ensure we're candidates so that is what I plan to book this weekend. I want to get it done as close to the wedding as possible. Did they tell you how long it lasts for? I've read that using a sensitivity toothpaste leading up to your appointment can help with the pain. I'm starting to feel overwhelmed with all the appointments coming up!

5pm for me

My wedding is at 5p. I managed to actually get some things accomplished last night. I ordered the rest of my meds for the OOT bags (by the way you ladies really need to check out Shoplet.com!), the holders & coils for my key card holders, my Jamaica bottle openers, and even limped around Hobby Lobby last night for some more real touch flowers. Now I just need to buckle down and tackle some projects this weekend. FI is taking me to dinner for my birthday so we'll see how much I actually get done!

My wedding is at 4pm.
