Re: My July 10th Wedding at the Woodbury Country Club- FABULOUS!!

Thank you all for your sweet replies, you all know how much that means to me after all the hard work and preparation.
My bridesmaids actually got the dresses from The Elegant Bride in Albertson, and we dealt with Gloria. She was AWESOME! So nice and did all the alterations perfectly! They were a little big on the top on some of my girls, so if you get them, make sure you get it altered nice and fitted on top or wear the straps!
The shoes are a funny story! After we chose the dresses we liked for them, we went to the mall and happened to see these two pairs of GUESS shoes, one high heel, one low heel, with the EXACT same colors as the dresses, and I IMMEDIATELY called all my girls and said IF they wanted to get them, I'm sure it would look really cute, and they could probably use them again. So you can also get them online at Zappo's.com, although I know that we got them when they were new, and they started to run out of them soon after.
As far as our rings, my hubby : ) got my engagement ring in the city with a friend, so I don't really know the details, but our bands we got at Tri-County in Long Island, and we are soo happy with them.
I just got my proofs today and they look WONDERFUL and I saw a recap of my video and started CRYING!!! (Rainbow Video accross from TriCounty by they way, They are GREAT!) Everyday I think to myself that all the stress and time spent on planning a wedding is WORTH IT! The memories that are left behind are PRICELESS!!!
GOOD LUCK TO ALL YOU GIRLS! In the end, everything turns out WONDERFUL, so don't worry!Any questions,don't hesitate to ask. BYE!

To JessNYC711, about the cultural aspect...

Thank you soo much for the compliments!
I was actually honored to put the Hanbok on, I know it made my hubby's mom extremely happy!! As well as the rest of his family! My family is Latino, My mom is from Peru and my father is from Chile, and we had the DJ play the two typical types of music from each country (Marinera and Cueca, that's what they're called). They are dances done by the natives with handkerchiefs, REALLY beautiful, and my mom and dad were able to dance to them. That was able to touch upon my family's culture as well.. and ofcourse a lot of Salsa and Merengue!!
I also chose to give out fans as favors, because I felt that it had an asian motif to it.
Another thing that I did was I had my Godmother do a reading in Spanish and My husband's cousin did a reading in Korean, and everyone loved that as well. On my programs, I mentioned that we did this in order to honor both cultures. I tried to do as much as I could to please both sides of the family and well as friends ofcourse! If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask!

Congratulations

I'm happy to hear that WCC did a great job.
Everything looked great and beautiful. I fell in love with WCC the moment I saw it, and looking forward to mine next year (Oct. 2005)

Re: My July 10th Wedding at the Woodbury Country Club- FABULOUS!!

Congrats!!! Everything looked soooo beautiful especially the flowers!!! Great job on those!! The ceremony flowers were gorgeous, your BMs were so cute, and you -- you looked positively glowing!!! Beautiful bride!!

Re: My July 10th Wedding at the Woodbury Country Club- FABULOUS!!

That is really wonderful!! I think I will now wear the Hanbok also because the Korean Dancers I would have wanted are way to expensive for a half hour, so I think I'll just change into a traditional dress as well. That is a good idea to do a reading in Korean and spanish, I like that idea. Thank you!!

Re: My July 10th Wedding at the Woodbury Country Club- FABULOUS!!

Sounds beautiful!
