We are finally back and things have calmed down a bit so I finally found some time to write my review. Thank you to everyone who gave advice and helped me throughout this process.
A few days before the wedding the forecast indicated rain so I was a bit bummed but knew it was the one thing I could not control so I tried to put it out of my mind. Well it turns out that was the least of my worries. On Friday I came down with a stomach flu. I thought it would pass but the night before the wedding I was up all night sick as ever. I called DH Saturday morning in absolute tears b/c I was so sick. My family and BM's came to the rescue and filled me up with alka seltzer, amodium, protein shakes and anything else they thought would help. My doctor said there wasn't much I could do. The remedies helped and although I wasn't able to eat or drink at the wedding, I at least didn't throw up during the ceremony.
The Milleridge Cottage A+ - The service, food, atmosphere etc. was all perfect. Leslie made all of our dreams come true. For the other Milleridge brides out there you have nothing to worry about. Everyone loved the food and raved about the service. Steve our matr'd went above and beyond. The room looked beautiful and since the rain held up everyone was able to go outside for the cocktail hour.
Coachman Limousine - A+ Claudia was an absolute gem to work with. She kept in contact with me throughout the process and didn't think I was crazy with all of my requests. The cars were clean and on time and the drivers were so much fun.
Mark Kauffman Photography - A+ - I can't say enough about Roy and Pedro. They were the most amazing guys to work with. They kept me calm about being sick, they handled the difficult in-laws so well and they had fun with us. They were so involved with our guests that I got calls telling me how wonderful they were. The proofs are outstanding and I can't wait for MV1003's wedding tomorrow so I can see Roy again.
Wild Rose Video - A+ - Marie as everyone knows, is a doll to work with. Her arm was still hurting a bit but she and Dave did an amazing job. I can't wait to see the video. I don't think there was a single thing Dave or Marie missed. Everytime I looked around to see if they caught something, they always did. I know the final product will be a work of art.
Spin Around Sound - A+ - Tom and I didn't get to talk until the day before the wedding so I was a bit nervous but Rio and Tom (not the owner) did an amazing job. The dance floor was packed all night and everyone loved the music. My play list had several different types of music and they did a fantastic job mixing it all together.
Niecey, MV1003, Thrilled & April2603 and the men who love them.
I hope the pictures come out ok b/c this is the first time using my scanner.
I will post the rest of my review shortly.

Thank you girls so much!
jvs77 - The girls dresses were actually black and the flowers were black magic red which is a very deep red. I think the red would go with navy blue as well. We wore navy blue for my sisters wedding - I will try to find a picture of the flowers and send it to you.

OMG!!! That was so bizarre, but I looked up your bio--my parents names are FRank & Felicia also...so weird!! If you ever have a little girl, consider naming her Farah
Congratulations on your wedding...your pics are beautiful--I especially love the Grand Central ones. How did you have time for all of that?
