FINALLY!! I am back!! :) And here is my review!
Ladies, word can not express how much I have missed you all!! We have been SOOO busy because we moved the week after the wedding. I FINALLY got all unpacked and have some relaxing and down time!
My wedding went pretty well! There was some drama from some family members. I expected it from some and not from others lol. I had a bit of a meltdown at the hotel before I left because my dress wasn't fitting right and my sister was being an a-hole to me so I had what my mom referred to as my 'only bridezilla moment' and screamed 'CAN EVERYONE EXCEPT MY MOM AND NIKKI GET THE F$&$%^#$#$%CK OUT!?!?!'
The hall wasn't ready when we got there (at 12:15 mind you) and DURING MY FLIPPING CEREMONY the DJ was putting tape down over his wires and it was LOUD. My family and friends were less than happy.

Mike was AMAZING! He showed up a lil early and I was no where near ready and he was extremely patient with us. He took some of the most amazing photo's I have ever seen and I may have only gotten about 175 proofs, but they are all awesome. (my sis got like 600 and most of em were crappy). I had my proofs about a week and a half later. AMAZING AGAIN!!!

If you haven't been there, make a point to go there. The cake was moist and delicious!

We hand picked every aspect of our ceremony because she had an amazing book that you pick what specifically you want included in your service.She was so lovely and she really made it ALL ABOUT US!
Florist- Santapouge Flowers- A++++
My flowers came out EXACTLY as I wanted them too. They actually exceded any expectation I had. My bouquet was bigger than I thought it would be and my flowers were perfect! My MOH bouquet was so nice, I almost wanted to switch with her lol. The only thing was they dropped all of the flowers off to me at the hotel, instead of bringing the bout. and corsages to the hall with the centerpieces.
DJ- DJ OSCAR- F!!
Besides setting up during my ceremony, he not only didn't play songs from my must play list, he played a bunch of songs on my DO NOT play list. Almost no current music was played, everything was line dancing or from the 60s and 70s. I was told I was getting and MC and a DJ. I only got 1 and he was so monotone and couldn't get people on the dance floor. At one point, happy birthday started playing and my sister said when she went to request a song, he was using frostwire to dl stuff and itunes to play it. Not at all professional. At one point I asked him to lower the music a bit bc my elderly grandmother couldn't hear us talking to her, and he was like 'THIS IS AS LOW AS IT GOES, ITS ON ONE!' Ummm how about when it was lower during the cocktail hour and dinner?!?! He didn't play the song I picked for cake cutting or the song for after. Overall, I would NOT recommend him to anyone!

I didn't really eat much of anything, but everyone else said how great the food was so GOOD JOB! lol.

They are not used to doing wedding and are clearly a but uncomfortable (cuz they don't want to eff up lol) But John the MD did a great job with EVERYTHING. I just wish everything ran more on time and the bridal suite was set up for me.
I think that's all my vendors. OH! I stayed at the Hilton garden inn in Ronkonkoma and it was LOVELY!! We took pics in the lobby and everything. They also gave us free breakfast cuz it was our wedding. The indoor pool was sooo nice because after standing all day, Lucas was NOT happy with me, so floating around in the pool put some ease on my hips and back.
If you guys want pictures, feel free to add me on Face Book (Theresa Barton) my pic is Marc and I cutting the cake lol.
OH! AND LUCAS IS HUUUGE!!! We went to the doc today and (mind you i am only 32 weeks along) and his giant freaking head is measuring in at 37weeks! The rest of him is about 35-36 weeks. So hopefully, his lungs will be developed enough, and he can GTFO cuz I am over this being pregnant thing!! haha
<3 Love you all!!
