My 1/4/03 Wedding Review!!!!!
My day was so perfect!!! The only 2 flaws were the weather, but as we were saying our vows the sun broke thru and shined on us thru the stained glass windows! I took it as a sign![]()
and one of our groomsmen got stuck in the snow up in Boston and couldn't make it to the airport, so my BIL(my sis's DH) bucked up and ran to the tuxedo shop and turned instantly into a groomsmen. We were glad because my DH(I can call him that now) wanted to ask him but we already had so many people so everyone was happy all around! I also wasn't nervous at all the whole morning right until I was waiting to walk down the aisle my dad was telling me to breathe and I was like I'm gonna pass out! But as soon as I looked into Steve's eyes I was fine!! I can't believe it is all over![]()
I must say that everyone said it would fly by but it didn't feel that way to me. I made sure to enjoy every moment!![]()
OK so here is my review!
Day before: Lazy Day Spa in Center Moriches
I had a manicure and pedicure followed by a full body massage! It was incredible everyone should do this for some relaxation before the big day!
Hair and Make-up: Linda & Shannon
They both came to my house and did myself and my bridesmaids! Everything was perfect and my make-up stayed on all day and night!![]()
Dress: The Wedding Center of Commack
I loved the shopping experience there and you can not beat the prices, BUT no one ever told me that the alteration department closes down for 2 weeks right before Christmas. They new the date of my wedding but I was NEVER told! So that pi**ed me off. Also some of my girls alterations weren't that great! My FG mother had to fight with the woman to have her lift up the hem and her dress! It took my 2 yr old FG to fall in front of her to finally get her to do it! My straps fell down a lot during the night too! So if you decide to use them for alterations just stay on top of them!!!!
Flowers: Malkmes Florist (Port Jefferson)
I loved my flowers!!!!!!! They came out awesome!!! I had white, pale pink, and lavender roses with caspia for my bo-k and pale pink and lavender for my girls! Steve also sent me a dozen roses to my parents house that matched by bo-k!!!
DJ: Get in Tune
Glen was awesome he had the entire dance floor dancing all night!!! He played all the songs we requested and even let Steve have the microphone which he used to sing every word to paradise by the dashboard light!!! This was so funny!! He didn't miss one word including the baseball commentery!!!! I highly recommend GIT!!!!!!
Photographer: Patken (Steve)
Steve was awesome!!!!! He was the best!!!!! I know that we don't have our pics yet but I don't have a doubt in my mind that they will be fabulous!!!! I highly recommend Steve he will definately be a brides best friend!!!! He even brought the guys flowers to the church for me!!!!
Limo's: Coachman
We got a limo bus!!! I think that they sent us a bigger one than the one we had ordered which was great!!! Alan was so helpful! My only complaint was that the driver had to ask us for directions to the Holtsville Ecology Center, which I feel he should have researched himself and he never came into the church to help me before I walked down the aisle! My friends husband had to poof out my train, which was cathedral length! I had been told that the limo driver usually does this!
Reception: The Meadowclub of Port Jefferson
They were amazing!!!! From start to finish I have not one complaint!!!! The food was fabulous, the staff amazing, my bridal attendant was so great!!! I didn't have to ask for anything!!! She was so one top of everything!!! The decorations were up from Christmas so the place looked breathtaking! The guys were happy because we had a TV in the bridal suite and got to watch the Jets give an as*whooping so the guys were all happy!!! They even let us come in an hour before to do family pictures!!! (that also had a lot to do with our photographer as his wife works there!) I highly recommend them! They were awesome!!!!!
Honeymoon: Fantasy Travel in Miller Place
Joe was great!!! He got us a great deal and then kept calling back to let us know he got us an even lower price!!! I would definately recommend him for all sorts of travel!!!! I let you know about the actual honeymoon when we get back! We leave tomorrow for Jamaica!!!![]()
