Hello Fellow ILA bride!
Good thread, with only 96 days till we leave - not that I'm counting lol - I am most happy when I am talking about the wedding!!
I am getting married on April 27 and to be honest, am having trouble getting anything finalized. Yahimara, though very nice, keeps telling me that everything can be decided closer to the date - things like table set-up, music, vows, centrepieces, the menu, which restaurant etc. I'm sure she's right, there is plenty of time, but I'd feel so much better knowing soem of these things were figured out.
We are getting married at 4pm and have decided to pay the additional $40 per person for the "gala dinner set-up" (what this includes I have no idea) and the lobster dinner. Dinner will be at 7pm. We will have over 70 guests, so I believe there is only two options for us - the steakhouse or the cuban restaurant. Has everyone been given the same information? The $40 per person is in addition to the $1,000 wedding fee. We also have to pay $150 CU to have the reception during prime dinner hours.
We have asked to hire a prof. cigar roller to come to the reception (in lieu of favours, it's just too much to transport) and we are flying our photographer down with us for the week.
Other than that, we don't have much else planned! Flowers won't be decided until we get there and we have a creative neighbour who will be bringing decorations for the gazebo...I'll feel much more relaxed when things are finalized!
