~~~QOTD 7/19/10~~~*~

Thank you my beautiful date twinny for passing the veil along to me this week..

I'm so excited ! I'm glad i was able to meet so many of the girls this weekend! I'm sure our conversations will be my inspiration for some of the questions!!
I hope I don't repeat a question and please let me know if I do.
I heard a few girls mention (myself included) things they 'had to have' for their wedding.. So my question is what is the one request you absolutely had to fit into your budget? I know some people may have a few.. name them all !!

I 'had' to have two wedding bands. hehe : )
The stupid jeweler made me try on one on top and one on the bottom and i fell madly in love!!! I originally told FH I wanted the second one for our 1 year anniversary and he told me to beat it! Luckily when he saw how it looked, he loved it too and we were able to squeeze it into the budget! WooooHoooo!!!!

I also really wanted some element of live music, but FH insisted on a DJ. We were able to do a mix of both with Bravura, and all worked out!

I HAVE to have:

-Venue with one wedding at a time (over budget on this)
-Kick A$$ photographer (way over budget on this one)
-Hair Extensions (My hair is long but fine!)
-Eyelash Extensions (my eyelashes are itty bitty)

I'm sure I can make do without any of the above but really, I'd rather not

FH

Seriously, we really don't have any 'must haves' for our wedding. The only thing I personally really wanted was to have an outdoor CH, which we do (weather permitting) and I said that it would be really nice to have a steel drummer, which FH agreed would be a nice touch.

Re: ~~~QOTD 7/19/10~~~*~

I had to have uplighting and a white dance floor. I know the second is an odd request but i HATE wooden floors! My fiance really wants a cigar roller. I told him its not in the budget but I am surprising him the day of with one!

Re: ~~~QOTD 7/19/10~~~*~

Whoohoo your first QOTD!! Congrats!!

FH and I weren't too picky. I had to have my Converse's for the reception. FH had to have the option of both a beautiful inside and a nice outdoor space. And after seeing a few places that did multiple weddings at a time...we def wanted one wedding at a time.

And though it's not NEEDED...I really want to find a way to do hair extensions. Even just clip ins....I wanna do something fabulous with my hair haha

I wanted chair covers too, that was my obsession the whole time.. until i went to the inn and decided i loved the place so much i could give a sh*t less about the covers.
I get in trouble now, bc FH is like how many places did you turn down because they wouldnt cover the chairs!!!!!!

Re: ~~~QOTD 7/19/10~~~*~

I HAD to have a RH without those square asbestos ceiling tiles. I put my foot down and wouldn't even look at any halls with them. It was the one thing I was adamant and out of my mind about. I'm weird.

plus I'm really leaning towards a photo booth and a mashed potato bar.

FH was dead set on a place on the water one wedding at a time and wouldn't budge. over budget? what's a budget?

Too funny!!! See, everyone in my family (and FH's) makes fun of me now because of this tick. When FFIL walked in to HWC he was like 'WOWWWWW LOOK AT THOSE CEILINGS!!!' (making fun of me) and Barbara our BM was like 'Aren't they amazing?!?!' and went on to tell the story about why they made them that way. Meanwhile, he was just making fun of me.
