my 9/13 wedding review

first off, i don't have any pics yet, sorry

i really don't have a lot to say b/c everything went absolutely perfectly. i couldn't have asked for anything better from any of my vendors. there were no mess-ups or anything. it was so great that i didn't have to think about any of the little details at all. in fact the worst part of the day was the weather. i'm still so disappointed that it rained. my day was great, but my dream wedding was outside so i'm a little sad the dream didn't come true. it also made the pics a little harder too b/c there weren't a lot of places we could take them.

two slight problems i had-
i ordered favors from godiva and somehow they miscounted and i only 110 instead of 130. lucky we caught the mistake on thursday and were able to pick up the others on friday. no big deal, imo.

we got our tuxes from men's warehouse and one guy's pants were the wrong size. but the mistake was corrected with plenty of time to spare so again, not a big deal imo.

here's a list of my vendors, if you have specific questions please fm me!

reception and ceremony- old field club

photo and video- ray o'connor (doug- photo, pete- video)

dj- in the mix (danny- dj, james- mc or maybe it was the other way around!)

flowers- flowers by susan

music for ceremony/cocktail hour- windstrum duo (flute and guitar)

limos/hotel shuttle- mayfair

favors- godiva

rehearsal dinner- three village inn

oot guest hotel- danfords

i'm sure i'm forgetting someone, but oh well.

our honeymoon was in kauai. we stayed at the sheraton. everything was great there. our room was almost on top of the beach and pool which was great. the only bad thing was i was sick all week. so we didn't get to do as much stuff as we wanted. but it did leave plenty of time for relaxing on the beach.

anyway as i said any questions let me know. i still can't believe it's all over, but in a way it's a relief that it is!

Re: my 9/13 wedding review

i knew i'd eventually remember the vendors i forgot

my dress- bridal suite in centereach

bm dresses- netbride

makeup- makeup by lauren (this was really random, we were friends in hs but hadn't spoken in years when we saw each other last year at a dance team reunion, she gave me her card there and months later i was like hey i need a makeup girl, so i called her and she was awesome!!!)

hair- monet salon in northport (they were great b/c they did me, my mom, the 3 bm's and the fg, and they actually dedicated four girls that morning to doing our hair!)

i'm working on the pics!

I had my reception at OFC too! How did you like everything? Was Marvin your contact?

Sorry to hear you were sick in Kauai - did you have a cold?

Congratulations!!

Re: my 9/13 wedding review

yes marvin was the maitre'd. he was sooo awesome! everything ran so smoothly b/c of him.

and yeah i had a cold in kauai i did so much work trying not to get sick for the wedding, and then i got sick after! piece of advice, rest and eat well in the weeks before your wedding. i was sick twice, once 3 weeks before and then on the honeymoon. not fun! anyway, here's a pic (i hope!)
