Not sure i made the write decision.. but....

First let me start off by thanking everybody for all the opinions and support in making a difficult decsion. For those of you who dont know i was contemplating weather or not to see FH before ceremony considering we are having ceremony at the reception hall.
I went with my gut on this one considering i have dreamed of that moment when the doors open and all faces turned and were on me and to see his expression was priceless. I have decided not to see the fh before hand. Fh says that this day will only happen once and i should do as i have always dreamed of. HE says he cant recreate that moment no matter what and that i can surprize him and do more photo another time if i wanted to. so we have chosen not to see each other before and do pictures during cocktail hour. Vinnie our photographer.. he was so nice. i felt horrible because i broke down in tears trying to explain this to him. Vinnie also said i can tell from your face this is what you truly wanted and i wouldnt have it any other way. he assures me that i am going to have more than enough pictures and not to worry about the quantity just be concerned with that moment and time and all the joy i will have. He is going to do alot of pictures of me and my family/girls before and then of him and his family/guys before. We shouldnt have a problem considering we have a very small family and bridal party. So i will pray for the best. Thanks again.. i hope i havent made a wrong decision.

It'll work out, don't stress over it I'm in the same boat as you, using Patken as well, and after talking to them about it I am completely confident that they will get the job done. Just be organized and take as many pics before the ceremony that you can. Oh and in regards to your other post about a receiving line, I'm not doing one either. We'll say our hellos if we make it to the end of our cocktail hour or in the reception. That's one thing that people will just have to be OK with Feel free to FM me if you have any more concerns.

YAY!! don't worry everything will be fine. i'm glad u went w/ur gut!!
