Re: May Brides....

Hi Tara !!

I didn't book it yet. I'm actually waiting on some information from Pleasant Holidays. Then I'll have a better idea. I should know soon b/c we plan to book the honeymoon by the October. I heard it's pretty expensive, though. I'm not anticipating paying for it. But I heard it's like a dream honeymoon, so I'm going for it !!!!!!

Hi Jenn !!
Did you get my message in your mailbox?

Re: May Brides....

I am Saturday, May 24
Hamlet Wind Watch
Bahamas or Aruba

I have the band, photographer and videographer, but that's it. I think I know what florist I am using, but haven't signed a contract yet.

Does anyone know of a good string quartet? I am trying to find one for the ceremony and cocktail hour?
