=-( This Sucks... Hotel.. Wed Pics... =-( UPDATE 1st Post More SAD than Before Now!

So I was going to book today with Garden City Hotel (To stay there the day before the day of)

Well we wanted to verify if we can take Wedding pics there since Ill staying there
'No, If you dont have your wedding here with Us you cant take Any picture here'

I was Mad & Sad.....

Now I am back WITH no Place to stay...
With no place to take pics because iam SOOO STUPID!!!!!!!

Why did I choose a SUNDAY Wedding?!!!

I will NOT have eough tme to take pics where I want bc I am having a FULL mass & Mass starts at 2:30... I should b out by 3:30... Pics at church & pics in another place wilbe around 6:00...
We wanted to enjoy Cocktail hr...
If we do that, apparently We will be late to our own Reception!!!!!!!!

THIS SUCSK

ETA:
BETTER EXPLANATION I guess...

So this what We want....
It sounds crazy n I guess this is why this is why I a strugglin so much...
A place with like Flowers... Green... but water.. Like a little Lake...

And No, Sorry, We cant take pics before the Ceremony... Unless there is a Extremly Emergency (God forbids) We will NOT see each other.

I want to move CH to 6:00pm... So i am debating still... This will give me MORE time so We can take our pics

UPDATE:
Now I am MORE Sad than Before....

I was talking to my FMIL and I told her how we were thinking of Not having a receiving line this way we can 'take advantage' of those xtra minutes & use them in the Wed Pics...
Her response was 'WHAT? You are NOT having a receiving line? Are you guys ok? YOU have to do it! If U dont do it ppl will Get mad. This is the tradition & You have to do it'

Then I was talkign to my mom and told her I may move the Reception 6:00-11:00 and Cute the cake late around 10:00pm bc I dont want ppl to leave early....
her response was:'What? Ur doing Ur cake cutting around 10:00pm? No Verito (das my nick name here) That is too late. People have to work on Monday morning. People will be leavin earlier than that. You hve to cut your cake earlier so people can taste it before they leave.

I am so mad at both of them!!!!
I was trying to save soem time for OUR EFFIN WEDDING PICS and FMIL is mad bc We are thinkin of not doing receiving line... and We trying to get MORE timeby moving the CH 30min later... and My mom is mad bc I want to cut the cake at 10:00 So ppl at lteast stay until 10:15-10:30 and She said ppl Will leave EARLIER than that since ppl work in the mornin...

I am leaving the house NOW

I feel SOOO mad...
I am just going outside....
TO CRY....

I so dont want to do this anymore...

I going to call my FH and tell him I dont want to do it and i just want to get married wiht him in a Church and Das it...
I already paid 60% of RH but I dunno what to do anymore...

See ya later chicas...

Re: =-( This Sucks... Hotel.. Wed Pics... =-(

V you can def. take pictures in your room while you are getting ready! You don't even need to ask for permission. You probably just can take portrait pictures around the property. Why don't you go to Eisenhowser Park?

bebita0830 Posted: Apr 09, 2011 07:19 PM

Re: =-( This Sucks... Hotel.. Wed Pics... =-(

or at Old Westbury Gardens which is like 20 min from where u are gonna be, the only thing with OWG is that there's a fee

Re: =-( This Sucks... Hotel.. Wed Pics... =-(

I am sure the same rules applies...
If I dont get married there, then cant take wedd pics...
Plus, they are little far from my Church ;(

Re: =-( This Sucks... Hotel.. Wed Pics... =-(

Is it possible to pay a little more to take pictures on the property? I think in you room will be fine. Maybe it would only be an extra 100 bucks for an hour pics. It might be worth it.

Re: =-( This Sucks... Hotel.. Wed Pics... =-(

You can't take pics at the hotel? Or that park across the street w the gazebo? I think it's free to take pics there, n they are pretty my friend got married at lark field n stayed at a hotel out there n took pics at that little park.

Re: =-( This Sucks... Hotel.. Wed Pics... =-(

You could take pics before the mass? Like have a surprise meeting and all and get most of the pics out of the way so that you can spend more time at the CH.

Re: =-( This Sucks... Hotel.. Wed Pics... =-(

Just take a step back and breath! I think you are very overwhelmed and I know when that happens to me I can't think. So take some time and think about what is most important to you! There are so many hotels on Long Island that are beautiful and there are many parks with lakes and such that you can get beautiful pics anywhere. I know the feeling about being upset about that bc on my wedding day the sun sets at 4:45 which leaves us with no time to take pics during the day since our ceremony starts at 3:30 trying to figure out that myself. In the end you will be marrying the love of your life!

DONT WORRY!!

Re: =-( This Sucks... Hotel.. Wed Pics... =-(

I would just take pictures before the ceremony. Thats what i'm doing so i'm less stressed later and enjoy the cocktail hour i paid for.

Re: =-( This Sucks... Hotel.. Wed Pics... =-(

I've noticed you've been freakng out very easily lately. Take a moment to breathe and calm down.

You can do pretty much whatever you want in your room so you can have your getting ready pics. You really should look into The Gazeebo down the block from the hotel, the grounds are beautiful and im more than sure theres no charge. Its Garden City, they keep everything fancy and neat. My sister did her outside pics for her wedding there last September and I cant tell you how stunning the pictures were.

Stop freaking out! Your wedding will be gorgeous, you'll have beautiful pictures and your guests will stay. I have a Sunday wedding and my ceremony doesn't start even start until 630 and i'm absolutely calm about it. People come to have a great time at weddings, and you're not gonna have a great day if you keep stressing about every little thing. CALM DOWN. Relax, take a breather, get a massage, mani and pedi, Things will work out in the end.

Re: =-( This Sucks... Hotel.. Wed Pics... =-(

okie if I was in ur shoes I'd change my CH at 6pm (tha's still early) so that would give me 2 1/2 hrs for pics, check out Hempstead Castle (I don't think they charge u anything for taking pics there) I've seen 2 brides taking their pics in there and seriously they came out BEAUTIFUL! here are the links for those brides:

1st bride

2nd bride
