Bridesmaids Gowns Jessica McClintock A+
My girls technically bought special occasion dresses, rather than bridesmaid dresses. They all came within a week, and they were stunning. The girls were getting compliments all night. The only thing is you have to get your own alterations, but because the dresses are so true to size, not too much work was needed.

Favors - My MIL made our favors, which came out great. They were mason jar mugs filled with hot cocoa. She made snowflake fabric covers for the tops, and made a label with our names, wedding date and snowbride/groom toasting champagne. They were a big hit - very unique!

We leave for our honeymoon on Saturday - a western carribean cruise on Carnival that leaves from New Orleans!! We can't wait.....Unfortunately I'm back to work for now As soon as we get more pics, I will be sure to post them!! This one of me is at the very beginning of the day.

Ladies - it really went as quickly as everyone says! Please don't sweat the small stuff!!! I know why you do, because I did, but in the end IT DOESN'T MATTER!!!!!!! Love you guys!!!!!

Re: I'M MARRIED!!!!!!!!! Part II

Thanks to all who sent well wishes our way!! xoxoxoxo

Also, I forgot to mention the ceremony, so here it goes:

Ceremony Historical Chapel - A
The chapel itself is very quaint, which was really sweet. But if you're expecting a lot of people I wouldn't recommend it - I believe it only holds about 125 people...The price includes the chapel itself, an officiant and an organist. The chapel is owned by Coachman Limos, so we used both vendors, and it worked out great. The only itsy bitsy complaint was the organist. Either the organ sounded off key or the organist sounded off key - we couldn't tell!! But it gave us something to laugh about!

Officiant Reverend April - A+
April was an absolute pleasure to work with. I think she is one of the most talented people I've ever met. She was so extremely helpful in writing our ceremony, was always open to suggestions (not that she really needed any), and helped to make our nondenominational ceremony a memorable one. People are still talking about how different our ceremony was!! I highly recommend her!!!

Thanks again ladies - stay tuned for more pics and PROOFS when they finally come in!!!!
