Hello:
Our 09/09/09 wedding is quickly approaching and we have just about everything arranged except a Videographer and Florist. The Venue can provide Flowers, but I wasn't too thrilled by what they offered. Their centerpiece arrangements are okay, but I wanted something with a little more Pizzazz! To tell the truth, since we are having a destination wedding, I am not really to spend a lot of money on flowers that no one will be able to enjoy after the reception, but I want something that will make a statement.
As for finding a Videographer, I haven't had much luck. I did have one person in mind, he sent me a copy of his work and after viewing his work my FI and I wanted to go with him, but I have reached out to him on numerous occasions, without success.
Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks....

Thanks! I am so looking forward to our Honeymoon! I have a funny story. My FI Cousin is getting married on 4/18. I have been exchanging e-mails with his FI. She doesn't know where she is going for her honeymoon because her future FIL is a travel agent, so it is a surprise wedding gift, but I know it to be some sort of cruise to the islands. So, she asked where we are going for our Honeymoon and I told her and sent her a copy of the itinerary. I HAVEN'T HEARD FROM HER SINCE, THAT WAS 2 FRIDAY'S AGO...LOL.

Phil was my first choice, but he was already booked to wed a couple at the Grove for 6pm on the 9th. We are getting married at 5 pm. After he told me he was booked, I started my search, and remember my friend is a minister, but later found out that she isn't ordained yet. Thanks for the reply.

Hello:
I am in search of an Officiant to marry us in Las Vegas. I would have been thrilled if my girlfriend was able to marry us, but she will not be ordained by the time of our wedding so that's a no go. Can anyone suggest an Officiant? I am getting married on 09/09/09, it is said that it is a popular day, so I would like find someone as soon as possible.
Thanks.

Congrats on your upcoming Vegas Wedding. I was thinking of getting married @ Lakeside as well. We are having an outdoor wedding in September. We decided to have a sunset wedding so that it will not be that hot! Good Luck with the planning. Keep checking the boards you will so much useful information here!

I thought exactly the same as you did with regards to making the wedding next year because I thought that was my FH wanted. Hence, the 4/24/10 date. He dated the same woman twice within a 10 year period and he always told her that he felt a couple should be dating 3 years before that got engaged. So imagine my surprise when he proposed to me after 1 year. We got in engaged on NYE and by the time we got home we had already agreed on the 4/24/10 date. When I suggested that date, I thought I saw a look of relief on his face , but he actually wanted to get married this year so VEGAS here we come!
I, like you bought my dress the month after we got engaged. The funny thing was we hadn't changed our date as yet, so he thought I was crazy to have bought my dress 14 months before our wedding.
I have to read your other post about unexpected guess. BTW, his ex-girlfriend and her whole family are coming to our wedding YIPPE! Aren't I a lucky girl! -

We are flying into Madrid and leaving from Rome. One of the most appealing reason we booked this particular vacation is because all of our tours are taking care of with the price. Are you a member of Costco they have awesome tour packages, I found ours through them. I never thought of going through priceline. There are so many excellent deals to be found now because the tourism industry is hurting. -

The funny thing is we were going to get married on 4/24/10. We choose that date because it was a play on both our birthday. Him being born on the 4th and me on the 24th. We were also initially supposed to get married in Vegas, but thought it to much work. I am actually glad we decided against it now, given the state dept's warning to tourist traveling to Mexico. After Mexico was out I began looking for other places to get married. Vegas was naturally one of the places I looked at seeing that it is considered the Marriage Capital of the world. And they had all these deals for 09/09/09 weddings. I discussed it with my FI and he thought it would be a cool idea. We liked the fact that we could fly in on one day and get married the same day if we wanted to. It just seem effortless. I checked out your wedding site, you wedding location is absolutely beautiful. You itinerary looks great! Have you found your dress, your BM's dress etc? My FI cousin got engaged 10 days before us and their wedding is 4/18/09. I could not imagine trying to put a wedding together in less than 4 months. And they are having 100+ people. We are having 61 people and it is still taking me 9 months to plan.
Good luck with all your planning and I will be checking in from time to time to see how things are coming along as we get closer. -
I am flying Jetblue to my Vegas wedding, and it never occurred to me that they wouldn't have a place to hang my wedding dress! I never thought for one minute that I would be checking the dress, especially after seeing an episode of Southwest "Airline". A bride checked her dress for her DW wedding. All was fine they were even thoughtful enough to put it on top of the other luggage not to get wrinkled. The problem was that on the way from the plane to the terminal the dress slid off the top of the trolley and got caught in the wheels. No one noticed until it was time to unload the luggage into the terminal. By that time the dress in was in shreds! I felt so horrible for the bride. Of course, no one wanted to tell her! I truly don't remember her reaction, but I know I would have gotten MEDIEVAL in the terminal! How do you tell a bride that her dress is ruined?!?

My FH and I will be spending 10K on our honeymoon. It was more than I ever thought we would spend on our honeymoon, but my FH wanted to do something special so what started out as spending a week in Mexico turned into 14 days in Spain, France & Italy. The highlights for me will be visiting, Cannes, Monoco, St. Tropez, Nice, Pisa, Florence &
Rome. I've already been to Barcelona & Madrid, but I am extra excited to be going again with my FH. I am sure that this trip to Europe will be much more expensive then my last trip, which was back in 2000 right before they adapted the Euro. Our dollar was also much stronger.

Hello All:
I always felt that if I had to choose between a expensive wedding or a long honeymoon away with my future husband, the honeymoon would win! So, I am so excited to be honeymooning in Europe. We will be taking a 14 day escorted tour to Spain, France & Italy. I was thinking about honeymooning in Mexico, since we initially wanted to get married in Mexico, but all the logistics involved with having a Mexican wedding were a turn off for us. My FI thought that Mexico is a trip that we could take anytime. And that our honeymoon should be something we definitely remember as special. He also felt that after a couple of days in Mexico we would be sort of board. I would have been fine kicking my feet up and taking it easy, but I am very excited to be going back to Spain. A Gf and I went to Barcelona & Madrid in 2000, while visiting Madrid we toured a site called Valley of the Fallen. It was breathtaking to me. I told her that I could see having my wedding there it was the most scenic place I've ever been to. So, I am excited to take my new husband to there and taking pictures together. Our honeymoon's itinerary is as follows:
Enjoy 14 nights in Spain, France and Italy. You're never far from the Mediterranean as you travel to Barcelona, the Cote d'Azur, and the Eternal City of Rome.
Highlights:
Madrid
Toledo
Barcelona
Arles
Les Baux
Aix-en-Provence
St. Tropez
Ste. Maxime
Cannes
Nice
Monaco
Pisa
Florence
Rome
We will be taking 3 weeks off of work. Our first week will be spent in Vegas preparing for our mansion wedding and then we will fly back to NYC spend a night at home and then fly off to Europe. I don't think I will want to go back to work after being away for so long. I feel so fortunate to be have all the aspects come together that I hoped for for our wedding and honeymoon. My dear FI really wanted it to be as special as it could be for both of us!

My FI & I also met online. Almost none of my friends no the truth, it's not that I was ashamed, but 6 wks after meeting him, we decided to go to Miami and spend NYE together. Initially, I was going by myself. It was going to be my first vacation by myself (I used to go to Miami at least 3 times a year, so it was a familiar place for my first vacation alone), but after speaking with him and hitting it off so well, I asked him and he accepted my invitation. Now, imagine me telling my friends and family that I am spending NYE away in Miami with a man that I met online and have never met face-to-face before. They would have given me the hardest time, but in my heart I knew it was RIGHT we had spoken at least 4 hours a night for the last 6 wks (sometimes longer). And we had this undeniable chemistry. We both knew that we had something special, so we throw caution to the wind and decided to go for it! We never looked back from there. It was the most amazing first date ever....LOL (be it a 4 day, 3 night first date).
I know of a brother & sister who met their spouses on match.com. I think in this day, if you are not a social butterfly, it is very hard to meet someone in your every day life. I think of the internet as a way to meet people you wouldn't normally meet in your daily life.

These are awesome photos. My FI & I are thinking of taking a couple of pics on our wedding day here.

I was so sorry to read that someone had violated one of the most sacred things we will ever receive. Some people have no heart!
I was very happy to hear that you very thoughtful FI did everything in his powers to make the woman he loves begin to feel whole again. It's nice to read of a man so in tuned with his woman and making her happy.

Thanks for the response. I did just that last night and totally agree with your advice.
Thanks again.

Hello all:
Which has a greater value price wise? Is it a better deal to have fewer prints of your photos, but have them give you a flush mount album? Or is it a better deal to have more photo prints and buy your own album. I am not familiar with what a flush mount album looks like. Is it something you can buy at like Wal-Mart? Does anyone know about how much they cost?
Thanks so much for the advice.

I agree with the other ladies! It's your wedding! I wasn't going to have a wedding party because I felt like my three closest friends had already been in enough weddings and would be thrilled to not have to be in another one, but to my surprised they really wanted to be part of my day. So I'll have my three best friends next to me on my big day! It's your day!!
Congrats!

Thanks again!
