I think I saw you at the Fox Hollow on Monday! I was the one labeling all the boxes with the receptionist who she said was getting married this weekend! I was talking to Frank before you, sorry we took so long - we were going over all the final details!

---

HAHA! Yeah that was me! Sorry I was really loud on the phone, I was talking to FH and he never remembers anything I say. LOL. My sister /MOH was telling me to shut up. It's funny b.c I figured it was you, but I couldnt tell b.c of your profile pic.
And dont worry, you were entittled to take as long as you wanted that night. You must be super excited! You looked very reserved, concerned and stressed while you were talking to Joan. My sister was like, 'that girl handled it pretty well, b.c I know you would be loud going over the same thing over and over again.' in any event, congrats! it was nice seeing you. You will def. make a beautiful bride. Dont forget to post pics as soon as you can!

---

I think Joan is a little know it all and I don't ever like her tone ... she is always trying to guess what you are going to say and that bothers me. I know she's probably been there a while and that she hears the same questions a lot, but it's MY wedding and this is MY first time, you know, so I am going to ask those questions and I don't want to get the 'don't worry, we do this all the time, you have nothing to be concerned about' attitude. My fiance thought *I* was being snippy with her, when in face SHE was being snippy with me.

And I didn't even hear you on the phone, I was so absorbed in what I was doing!

I will try to post pics on Monday, but a few girls from the 08 board are coming to either my ceremony or after party and they might post pics on Sunday, on the 08 board.

---

Where are you having your after party? Im just trying to get ideas for one for me ..since my reception will be ending at 5pm and I KNOW people will NOT be ready to go home then! haha

---

We are having it at Finley's in Huntington. We've been going there for years, and the best man worked there, we know all the bartenders, etc ... it's about 15 mins from the Fox Hollow. There are TONS of bars in Huntington to choose from, too! A bar that is pretty close to the Fox Hollow is the Inn Between - it's in Syosset on Jericho, kinda across from the big Marshalls. Never been there but I heard it's a cute place. And there's also a martini bar (I think?) called The Rare Olive - on Jericho, in Huntington Station ... never been there but I think it's a loungey-martini bar type of place.

---

Thank you for the ideas..we're not from the area so this is great info!!! We may just go somewhere spur of the moment..so it's great to have options.. I already told my FH that wherever we go, I'm not getting out of my dress!! HAHA...he thinks I'm NUTS!!

---

Oh I have wanted to go to a bar in my wedding dress for years! Mine isn't coming off either, but I will probably put sneakers and socks on. :)

Re: FOX HOLLOW BRIDES - Question & Answer Thread

HAHA!! My sneakers will be on for the reception - white velcro skechers w/ silver rhinestones on the front... I don't mess around.. comfort is key.. Make sure you take pics of you in your dress at the bar!!

YAY Jenn, you went to fox hollow tonight right? How did it all go? Did you remember everything? I'm going on thursday night to bring everything! I'm so excited for us! I cannot believe that in 5 days we will be getting married at the same wonderful place in the same beautiful room! Don't mess it up too much for me ok? LOL!!!!!

---

It went well, yes. I have Roger and Jennifer as my maitre d and bridal att ... you may have annmarie, she is doing a nigh affair. I hope jennifer isn't the one linda had who she said was not good I never heard that name before ...

But we dropped allll our stuff off, I only forgot the sample placecard holder and placecard (to show them how I wanted it set up - i might bring it by this week). My parents were there and matt's parents met us their for drinks - they live in FL and had never seen the room, so it was nice to show them before sat. the bartender in the rest. is also working my cocktail hour, and he is a sweetie, gave us a few free drinks. i think i had 1 too many because i woke up with a nasty headache and a little nauseous.

It is reallllly getting real now. I am feeling butterflies a LOT. My first BIG feeling of them was yesterday .. i imagined a friend of mine who just got married in august, all dressed up for MY wedding as I was for hers -- and I imagined myself saying hello to her as she did to me -- and oh my god my stomach is flip flopping as I write it! Something about imagining myself IN THE MOMENT makes me get the butterflies.

I asked Frank about saying hi to you as I am leaving and you are coming ... and at first he was like NO, absolutely NOT! You know they have a thing about brides seeing each other. But I said, but we are friends! what if we both WANT to see each other?? He said 'maybe' It would be great if we could get a quick picture!!!

Have fun on Thursday!!!! I'll be at my RD when you are there!

---

LOL Jenn you are too funny! You can come hang out for our party if you want heehee. So I don't know when we could meet up, I am taking pics at the planting fields (weather permitting) until about 6, then I will be at the inn next door, since our ceremony doesn't start until like 8 lol. Maybe we can exchange cell numbers or something and meet up in the parking lot even or something! I would love to get to see you! And if not we will see tons of pics that we post on here!!! So soon!!!!

Sorry to butt in I just had to say I've been go ing to FInleys about once a month or every few months for the last several years and like that place too. My fiance's band plays there, Holla Back, he use to play there montly when he was the lead singer of Joe Rockstar (which he left about 3 and 1/2 years ago). Anyway, maybe I have seen you there! Best of luck again, I know it will be a wonderful wedding and after party!!

I know that we (FH and I) count.

Re: FOX HOLLOW BRIDES - Question & Answer Thread

For ladies that blocked rooms at the Inn at Fox Hollow and somewhere else, did you have a problem meeting the minimum for the Inn at Fox Hollow?

I know my mom and grandma want to stay there the night before and night of, but at 189 a night, not sure how many others would want to stay there as well.

Did you run into any problems with this?

Re: FOX HOLLOW BRIDES - Question & Answer Thread

Thanks for all the well wishes girls!!!!!!! Unfortunately, I've had a rough week - my grandma died on Tuesday - but we had the wake and funeral and things are ok. She was sick for a while and it's for the best, because she was in pain these last few months. And, now my grandpa can come to the wedding (he was going to stay home with her).

I have a massage in an hour, then nails at 4 - and cleaning/packing to do in between. I'm looking foreard to a great day with RAIN IN THE AFTERNOON ONLY PLEASE!!!!! I am taking pics from 10-12 and I really hope it holds out all day for all us 10/25 brides ... but if anything, after 12.

I'll hop online on Monday with pics!

Re: FOX HOLLOW BRIDES - Question & Answer Thread

I just did the final payment last night and the hall is decorated so nicely for fall. Everything is even more gorgeous than I remember two years ago when I originally booked. I can't wait to get married there this sunday!!

I'm pretty sure they do. I also know that if you're under you're minimum they throw in all sorts of things for you.

Re: FOX HOLLOW BRIDES - Question & Answer Thread

JBooth, i'm sorry to hear about your grandmother! I'm sure she will be with you in spirit and your grandfather will be so happy to be able to attend and represent both of them!

Couple words about Roger.. he was my maitre d..i posted about him about a month ago. My parents liked him and my inlaws are still raving about him. Just make sure he is nice to YOU too! I know the bridal attendant is there for you (and hopefully yours is more with it than mine was).. i'm just still pissed to this day that Roger fell over himself getting food and drinks for everyone in my family but me. But now that I think about it.. maybe it's really more the bridal attendant's failings.. Oh well. At least he could have said 'hello' to me, not just 'go stand there'.. Eh, whatever, it won't matter in the end!

Have an AMAZING wedding!! Good luck!!!!
