Hi Everyone
Well, we're back from our honeymoon

, wish we were still there. We had such an amazing time. I'll start with my wedding review first.
Rehearsal Dinner- Salvatores in Middle Village
We had a great time, the food was really good. The dinner was long but all in all we had a good time.
We gave out our BP gifts and I think everyone really liked what we got them

Church
St Mary Gate of Heaven Ozone Park- Our mass was so amazing, our priest did such a fantastic job, he made it so special. Everything was just great and our readers did such a great job. We did our own vows, my husband was just amazing, he really touched me with his words. I on the other hand had a problem getting through mine, I was nervous and also emotional but the priest helped me out.
Hair A+++
Denise Venti- She is so amazing, she came on time and was ready to go. She did my MOH (Evenedan) and she did exactly what she asked for, I thought her hair looked amazing

I was so unsure of what I wanted even upto the morning of the wedding but I showed her a few pics and we discussed it and she went to work. I was very happy with the final outcome, it's what I wanted.
Makeup A+++
Indiana from Clinique- I met her when I went for a makeup trial and I thought she was great and so super nice so I booked her. The day of the wedding she brought two extra girls to do everyones makeup, they worked quickly and did a great job. I was very happy with the makeup, I didn't want to look too made up and she accomplished that.
Photographer/Videographer A+++
H & H Photography- They are up here by us in the Westchester area. I haven't received the proofs or the video yet but I am happy with how they worked. They were on time and did what I asked for.
Evenedan A+++
I didn't have to pay her but she took amazing pics, she posted a few of them and I can't get over how great they came out. I can't wait to see the rest of them that she said she has

Limos A+
Whitestar Limos- They were on time and very nice. The only complaint we had was that there was no liquor in the BP limo, other than that they did a wonderful job.
Flowers A+++
Carriage House Flowers- They are also from Westchester, I found them when I was searching for a reasonable florist, no florist from LI would do the reception because it was too far away. I found them and was happy right away, they were so nice and their prices were pretty reasonable. I love Peonies and had to have them, some places told me it might be difficult to get but my florist got them and did exactly what I asked for. When the flowers were delivered that day I was so excited to see how beautiful the bouquets were.
Reception A+++++
VIP Country Club- They are in New Rochelle, all I can say is that they are amazing. They took care of everything. The food was delicious, even though I didn't eat too much because I was so nervous but all the guests said it was great. The service was amazing, our bridal attendant took care of us all night, she was such a sweetheart. Our Maitre D Rick was also terrific, he made sure everything went smoothly. I can't say enough about the hall, it is such a great place

Band A+++++
Elite Entertainment- All we can say is WOW!!! They are absolutely amazing, they did everything we asked for, from special requests to playing songs that kept everyone on their feet all night. All our guests were asking about them because everyone thought they were just amazing. The vocalists are out of this world, the musicians are fantastic. All in all this is an A+ band.
Fred Astaire Dance Studio A++
We wanted to do a special dance for our first dance, we brought them a CD of our song 'It Had To Be You' and our dance instructor Lena put together a great routine for us. They were all so nice and helpful. We had such a good time whenever we went there for a lesson. We can't wait to see the video and see if we did okay

Linda's Lovelies A+
I won 100 free wedding programs from the LI Weddings gathering. This came in so handy because I definitely wanted wedding programs but didn't know if I would have the time to make them. Linda was so helpful and she let me pick whatever I wanted, no matter the price, and she had everything to me in time so I could put them together.
Honeymoon A+++++
Radisson Aruba- What an amazing time we had, the island is just beautiful. The weather is perfect everyday, the water is crystal blue and the people are so nice there. The restaurants on the island were so delicious. The tours we went on were so much fun. We met so many nice people while we were there, we can't wait to go back. The hotel was just great, they really take care of you there. I highly recommend them.
We both were so happy on our wedding day, it was truly the most amazing day of both our lives. Everything went so smoothly, we couldn't have asked for more. The weather held up for us, thank goodness. Everything about that day was just amazing. My MOH gave an amazing speech which brought tears to my eyes, the Best Man also gave an amazing speech and my Dad got up there and said a few things and read a poem to us that also brought tears to our eyes. Everyone was just terrific, from our BP to our guests, they all made this such a memorable day for us. We can't believe it's over already but we are looking forward to seeing the pictures and video so we could relive it all
