Awesome! Thank you. Also, I'm glad you mentioned the amount of lanterns needed as that was probably going to be my next question! One last thing, my dress is the exact same as yours, just in red (~ a little daring, I know!), and you'd think I'd know this, but it's been in a box for almost 2 years. Is it difficult to walk/dance in? I'm thinking of buying a completely different 2nd dress to avoid this, so your opinion would be greatly appreciated! ~And, trying it on isn't an option as I know I have to get it altered. I've lost a few pounds since then (I had it made just after our 2nd baby was born). Thanks again! Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

Thank you, Dcairns! The stress is starting to settle in, so I guess that means I'm getting closer!? Ok, so I have gone through most of the tips/posts and have come up with a few questions of my own (I hope you all don't mind!); 1) For the music that I'd like to be played during the ceremony, does the resort prefer mp3's or cd's when playing the music from their system? 2) Does anyone know if they offer black linens? ~I know, not the most exciting, but I haven't seen them used before and I think they'd be different! 3) Is it a possibility to attend a (semi-private) a la carte with 35-45 people in attendance? 4) Would anyone happen to have a SSG menu handy? My email is [email protected]. I can't seem to open the posts on this site...? 5) Do the staff have any 'issues' with stating "I now pronounce you husband and wife."? I'm not picky, I just do not want any of our guests knowing it's a symbolic ceremony! 6) Pink Petals (I realize your wedding has passed and you might not be on as often, but I thought I would ask anyways!), where did you end up getting your lanterns? I live close to Toronto and am always looking for a bargain! *Thank you!

Hi there, I'm totally new at this! I've actually just discovered this site today... Our wedding date is October 1, 2011. (~I'm a Gemini and like to plan ahead!) Thank you all so much for posting your tips here. It has already helped me tremendously! Cheers.
