I'm new at this. Where to start from e-party through wedding?
Hi everyone. Congratulations on your engagement's and wedding. My name is Rina and I live in Glendale, Queens, New York and I am thrilled that there is a discussion board devoted to weddings, brides, etc, around this area in New York. I was reading some posts and think you all are truly a blessing for participating and offering valuable advice to one another.
I just got engaged 5/28/04 and am so thrilled and anxious at the same time. I've been to numerous halls throughout my years, starting from Russo's, SandCastle, Leonards, Swan Club, Chaetau Brian, etc., yet I am still stuck and have no idea where to begin. Would any of you have a list or website, or know of any books listing every hall in New York? I know it sounds nuts, but I have no idea where to go first, what to ask, what to look for and so on. I'm so scared I'm going to forget something down the line which is very important. I know I want a florist, videographer, photographer and D.J. (for engagement party). Did any of you ladies have an engagment party at a hall and what did your outline entail? Luckily, I will be having my e-party next year in May and approximately 2yrs later get married (cause I want to finish law school). Do you ladies think having an engagement party 1 yr later and then getting married 2yrs after is odd. I want to really spend time planning each detail and not feeling rushed. Don't wanna forget anything.
I come from a very large, traditional Italian family and would need something to accomadate there desires. Initially, I was thinking about having my enagement party on a yacht, but, my family and my fiancee's family were not to happy with the idea and eventually I saw that it was better suited on land than sea . Instead I thought of having my rehearsal dinner there when the time to get married arrives. Any idea's would be helpful or if any of you have any suggestions on where to begin, please write. I'm actually planning on giving out oscar looking trophies and asking the people at my engagement party whether they would like to be in the bridal party. Example- And the award for Best Man goes to......drum roll and so on. I just gotta figure out how I will go about introducing or awarding my bridesmaid (there's about 12 I am planning to ask).
Overall, unfortunately, I'm one of those perfectionist that has to have every detail just right and at this point think it's gonna take me 10 years just to plan a wedding. I have no idea how my cousins and you girls managed to put together a wedding. I give you all so much credit. In a way it seems like planning a wedding is like planning a whole production. I probably feel this way because I'm a bit paranoid. I'm excited to start planning, but going crazy over where to start. It seems so over-whelming right now. HELPPPPP! Lol. Sorry it's so long.
Thanks.
