Michelle&Steve

i have to do this too.. how long does it usually take to get a ketubah?

i like number 1... which one are you leaning towards?

im still debating what to do bc im in medical school... i might keep my last name for my professional name, and take his last name socially.. not sure how thats gonna work yet, but some girls at school did that.. otherwise when applications for residency go out, it gets too confusing... maybe ill just hyphenate it.. luckily my FI doesnt mind, so its up to me what i want to do

Im a 2009 bride! January 18, 2009!! soo excited.. im actually ognna be there for a site visit the first week of june! hopefully we get to see a wedding there!

Maybe I can sneak the charge in without the FI knowing ha ha ha ha hahha.. i know! its ridiculous! if your not using something in your package, you could always try to substitute it for the screen...

Im having my reception in the ballroom... and wanted cool lighting in there. claudia gave me the name of the lighting people the hotel uses.. has anyone used them before? Air Star Mexico

hahah... yea i thought i was realy funny.. we actually picked the michael jackson song for the funny party and then i saw this on you tube (YouTube - Wedding first dance w/ surprise Jack Johnson Michael Jackson) and was laughing so hard.. so now just have to pick the romantic song...

YouTube - Rina & Nick's Wedding - CRAZY First Dance i love how creative people are now getting! we are thinking of mixing it up a bit too

I am not sure if this is a busy season or what but I get a response then i do not hear from anyone for weeks...It is driving me bananas. Every date I have asked for is booked so I am freaking out a little considering I am asking for dates that are not holiday and over a year away! Anyone has any suggestions my eyes and ears are open!!!! Paula, Your wedding pictures were a joy to look at! Your colors, your dress, everything was perfect. Congrats! dont worry too much... i had this same problem. first off, make sure she is giving you dates for the 2009 wedding year... she was telling me all these dates were booked, and i was shocked bc it was over a year in advance, and it turned out she gave me 2008 dates. have her email you a list of dates available in teh month you would like it. that way you csan choose from available times. claudia gets fludded with emails apparently, so it does take awhile to hear back from her. but you will, and you will get a good date! dont worry! hope that helped!!

we ordered the large 3 1/2 x 4 magnets from them (pioneer color)! no additional postage was necessary.. just 1 stamp.. and they are great! i loved them.. and everyone who got them loved them as well!

awesome pictures!! cant wait for you to photograph my wedding!!! :-)

thanks guys! hopefully it will be smooth sailing from here...

I'm sooo excited.. Music is very very important to my fiance and I. We met with a band today and we booked them for the wedding! yey!! They are wonderful and my fiance has heard them at friends wedding and they apaprently rock the house! wooohooo!!! there are 4 of them coming... heres their website with the 2 main guys! D&E Entertainment :: Videos Time to get this party started!

We didn’t use the 20.00 off (crap!), but I think the breakdown was: $100 rental, $50 extended rental, $6 for insurance purposes like spills/accidents. Hope it works out for you! thanks.. ill have to look into it some more over the summer.. they gave me a different price over the phone.. all together coming to $200 a piece... hopefully ill be able to find something just like that suit, for closer to 150.. im getting 9.. so we'll see.. thanks!

Please help!! yea.. dont worry.. they are very slow about this... i think it took her almost 3 weeks to get back to us.. she will get back to you soon.. i sent a few emails and she finally got back to us... when do you want to do it?
