Can you tell me who you hired for the cigar roller & fire dancer...and if you would recommend them? I hired them both through my WC Lunas De Fuego were the fire dancing troupe, they exceeded my expectation!! I expected 2 dancers and recorded music, not only did we have a live 5 person band, but there were about 6 or 7 fire dancers! I enjoyed every single minute of it, they were great!! Highly recommended. The cigar roller was also arranged through my WC. I told her what I wanted and she made sure they were there for my wedding. Where are you getting married?

Thanks for posting, nice that you warned people of the negative experiences you had with sellers. Have a great wedding!

YAY!! Karen, I am happy that you enjoyed your shoot. I can't say enough how great that team is!

It looks great on you! Don't second guess yourself, it will drive you crazy trust me I know from experience lol.

I still haven't done anything with my BD shoot because an album through my photographer will cost anywhere from $300-700......not affordable now that we are paying off our wedding. Any help would be great....thanks! I used mypublisher for the book. I was happy with the results. The total cost for two books was around $60 (buy one get one free coupon code) It was easy to put together also. They have something you have to download and then you design it the way you like. I recommend using them. MyPublisher | Create Photo Books, Cards and Calendars with free MyPublisher Software! I used shutterfly for another project before and they have a good product as well. Those prices are more suited for the wedding album, not this project IMO.

Hello and to the forum

Hello and to the forum

WOW! who does that!?! REALLY via text message. She has the mentality of a 4th grader. I would say, good riddings and focus on the love of your life and people around you that have your best interests in mind. Plan the wedding of your dreams and don't let her rain on your parade! Good luck!

OMG you HAVE to try the VS shapers!!! The hold is amazing!!! The cup shaping slip is FAB they make the boobs look yummy and hold you in within your last breath of life! all while still feeling comfortable! Getting that sucker on is a task, but once you wiggle in there you are held! and the thigh high shaper is to die for. You can wear satin or chiffon and no one will even know you have it on. I have the thong shaper too! I LOVE them all, I have special names for my babies . They are definitely worth the investment! Good luck with your decision

I can DEFINITELY relate as we also did things backwards... daughter, house, engagement and now he is my husband. It feels great for it to all really be coming together doesn't it!?!? congrats to you!!! What a wonderful story!

Visual needed.. I thought I would wear a pair of Loub wedges, but my mom and 99% of the brides that voted on here HATED them, then I started hating them too lol. I found 2 pairs that I fell in love with and went with those.. I say wear what makes you happy AND looks great with your dress...think of those pics your shoes/feet WILL show at some point regardless of how long your dress is.

Nice story, thanks for sharing!!

Guests RSVP'ing and actually booking. Everyone is sooooo last minute whereas I am a planner. I just wanted to go postal some times! I mean you make it so easy for everyone by even putting the return stamp on the reply cards! I could definitely see some people peeling my nice stamp off and mailing off a damn bill instead of the reply card...geez!

COngrats and welcome to the forum! Happy planning

I love it, they look great. You did a nice job with the step-by-step pics...well done!

The hotel had the hanging/light kits already. I purchase my own lanterns, because they charged $220 to use theirs. Maybe your hotel has the kits already as well.

Yes you are a lucky girl. I am happy that the rain didn't rain on your parade!! Give him a high five for me for a job well done
