That is pretty much where the night went on high speed and every moment merged into the next. Every time I sat down, I was being asked to do something else and if we had a moment, someone was always bothering us to talk to us.
We only greeted half our tables, I remember the exact couple we left off on because I went back to them, sat down to say hi and right away Cathy said “ok, it’s time for the bouquet toss!”
Having dessert café in another room slowed down the night too. I was able to sit down, try some wedding cake with my new husband and talk to the bridesmaids and laugh at the line for the chocolate fountain. We went back into the ballroom to dance before the night was over. That hour flew by too because the next part I remember is handing out the flowers from our centerpiece stands, doing a shot with my bridesmaids and then going to cigar hour. I remember the entire jazz and cordial hour- so that was my favorite part. However, a lot of older people left during it because they didn’t like all the smoke. It gets really smoky during that part, but it’s awesome because you get to talk to all the people you missed at the wedding.
Everyone always says not to sweat the small stuff. Here is what I would have changed. I relinquished jobs to others. I hated how my ring for a kiss bells looked my drink menus were never put out and I had to ask someone to put my card box out. However, these are my biggest problems? That’s nothing!

Muller’s Meats- Always good food at a great price. I don’t know how much because my parents booked them.
Susie at Liberty Travel-
[email protected]. I worked with Susie entirely via email. She was sooo sweet and worked so quickly to find the best deals, comparing the cost of staying in the US vs. going to Punta Cana. She followed up with us to make sure we were ready for our trip and truly went above and beyond the average travel agent. When we got to the resort, we were very pleased to find out we had one of the nicest rooms in the entire place! Thanks to Susie, not only did we get a Swim out suite, but the corner one that faced the pool and the ocean! When I got back from the honeymoon, she checked up to make sure we were happy with our room. I couldn’t thank her enough!!!
I have to do the color pictures of the cake and everything, but for now I hope you enjoyed my pics and review!
