Thank you for this!! This is amazingly helpful!

This is PERFECT!! Thank you for sharing...I was looking for a template/outline for wording to follow, and I love this. Thank you!!

I got in contact with the WC, my fi and I have hashed out the private dinner menu we want, as well as the DJ and Cigar roller. My bridesmaids and I finished writing the addresses for the Save the Dates. I ordered them off of www.weddingpaperdivas.com, and was super happy with the quality and how easy the whole process was. I FOUND THE DRESS!! It was a complete dream come true!! I booked an appointment at The Bride's Project in Toronto. Having lost my father to cancer years ago, I couldn't find a more appropriate place to shop for The Dress. My bridesmaid chose a dress I would've never thought to even pull off the rack, and ta da...it was the perfect piece. After trying it on, I was so happy I could cry. Knowing that the profits go to a great cause just makes me feel even more amazing about this dress. Does anyone know if the pricing for the Cigar Roller include the 30 cigars listed in the package, or if you pay for those cigars on top of the price listed for the roller? We couldn't figure out from the wording what the actual pricing was. More to share later when I can get my photos up and organized =)

I'll check with the wc once we start the planning process. .thanks for letting me know. =) Appy Couple is an app for androids or iphones. You can download it from the store onto your phone and manage it as you would your wedding website. I find I like it better since I can instantly upload photos and updates from my phone through it and my guests who have the app can get live updates etc. Its pretty helpful for the wedding party. =)

Happy 2013 everyone!! My fi tells this better than I do, so I'm posting up his story about how we met, and his surprise proposal to me (which he had filmed, the sneaky bugger =P). It was a cool evening, the crisp air pressing against their faces as they ascended the subway stairs together emerging in the center of Dundas Square, the very place they had first met. Hand-in-hand, they walked together towards the stage unaware of the events that were about to unfold. It had happened so suddenly, a camera flashed from somewhere behind. Spinning around, Lin noticed the first of her friends to arrive at the scene. It was not until she turned back and saw the ring is Brad's hand did she fully understand what was happening. "Lin..." he began. "As you may know, I did instruct Ed to tell you that I have won a sweepstakes. And that I would need to come to Dundas square to redeem the grand prize. I had selected my words carefully so that Ed would be telling as much of the truth as possible. Although there was no sweepstakes, I am without a doubt one of the luckiest guys that I know. A little over a year ago, in this very spot, i had met the most wonderful person. This sweet hearted girl with whom i had fell in love with, began filling my days with a radiant light, one that warms my very heart. So here I am, asking that very same girl a question. I am asking her to allw me to take care of her, to keep her safe and to keep giving her joy and happiness for the rest of our lives, Lin, will you marry me?: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wAsY-QJiMII&feature=youtube_gdata_player

Thank you for the awesome write up and advice. Actually a lot of what you wrote helps...My fi sent an email off to the TA to find out when we should be hearing from the WC. We've got the Sky Deck booked for a Civil Ceremony at 1:30pm and with the help of this awesome forum, I've already got the kissing ball aisle decorations, and will be using those for the centrepieces at the reception. We're fine with the semi-private reception that comes with the Silver Package, and with your advice, I'm definitely going to budget for a private, just in case we go over the 40 count. We want to hire a DJ for after the reception and a Cigar Roller as entertainment during the reception. My fi's family friends are photographers and have offered to do our wedding photos for free...*phew* The STD's have been ordered, and should be here any day so we can start the hand cramping address writing. The wedsite is up, the engagement video is on youtube, and I'm almost done our Iphone/Android app. We'll definitely be speaking to our TA to see what she can do about freebies....she's local to us in Toronto and is a GI agent as well. Crazy how I feel like we've already done so much and there's still SOOO much to do LOL.... Thank's again for the advice...excited for you that yours is coming up in May!! =)

Happy new year girls!! I'm excited to announce that this is my first post...and that I can now officially join the Azul Sensatori Brides group! My Fi has booked our wedding in for November 15, 2013!! I'm excited and nervous!! This forum has been a great help in all my research. I look forward to reading more posts about everyone's planning!
