Is anybody doing crypacks?

Nope. This is one thing I saw no use for as well as pretensious (sp?) no offense to anyone doing it.

I swear by Duet. Their pics are out of control as well as u get alot for the price. I have personally seen them work 2 weddings and I was not disappointed. I have a personal love for Flower Michele as well. He works with all budgets. I have tons of pics in my album.

I was booked with Royalty and only went with someone different cause I wanted newer cars.

ok, makes sense. Are you having a cash bar for the guests that do drink or completely no alcohol. Are you doing champagne or you're toating with something else.
most of my friends don't drink, but i'm still having alcohol.
