The Most Surreal day of My life!!!! I am a proud married woman! Review Fox hollow, Ultimate sounds DJ, Mia, Nick from Ariana Studios, Halo Video, Marie Stacks-MAS music, Reverend Nick, some pro pic

** I have added some of my proofs that i got from Ariana Studios. I scanned them in so sorry if they are not so clear. as far as the video goes, my parents just picked it up today and fell in love. My mom loved Jose. You can not go wrong with Halo Productions!!!!
There are no words that can describe how wonderful our day was! First, I want to thank all of you for all your ideas, warm wishes and support leading up to my day. liweddings was my escape to sanity at times. Thank you ron and liz for making this wonderful site.

To begin, I have to say, I was so nervous all summer about Labor Day weekend. Everyday I prayed for no hurricanes (DH lives in Miami) and I so thought that my weekend would be a washout, but I must say Labor Day weekend was one of the best weekends of the summer. I will not go into the stress and complete bridezila moment I had the day of the rehearsal dinner, but I will say that the day turned out to be a great night. Rehearsal diner was on Saturday at my parents house. On Sunday i was able to unwind with some of my girls who I had taken to the spa. It was well needed and probably the best idea.
Now on to the big day...
That was Monday Sept 3rd 2007:
I along with my MOH, Wedding Consultant (my cousin Tania) and best friend (BM), woke up at the Fox Hollow. I was really calm, but I could not eat. Now onto the Review:

Macys's Manhassett
Dresses: Bride, MOH, MOB, BMs and FG AAAAA++++++++
I absolutely loved my dress. i got engaged on 12/24/06 and found my dress and ordered it on 1/21/07 from Macy's. I was a little worried after hearing a few negative comments about them, but I had a wonderful experience. Everyone's dress was perfect and the alteration were great. I will say that the alteration prices were crazy, but they did do a good job. My dress was Demetrios Sposobella collection Style 4212

Barron's - Veil and tiara :
AAAAAA++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I loved my veil and tiara.

Tuxe's Men Wearhouse - Bayside, NY AAAAAA+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
They were great. Anyone that can deal with the B (Oscar's family name) extreme procrastination and still get everything perfect has to be great. They were wonderful to deal with. The only problem we ran into is that the RB shirt was too long. The men wore Jones of NY Tuxes.
Mia from ************* AAAAAAA++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Mia was the first to arrive at my suite. I was lucky to have my wonderful cousin Tania who took the role of DOC and made sure that all questions,payments etc went through her. I did not have to worry about a thing. There are no words to describe how thankful I was to have Mia. She is fanastic. She made me, my mommi, my mommi in law, my flowergirl, my matron of honor and DOC (cousin) feel gorgeous. My mom looked incredible and I felt like a princess, exactly what I wanted. Mia was on time, sweet as pie, patient and just plain wonderful. I wanted her to stay for the wedding, but she had a terrible headache and she was so sweet that she left me a little note on my bed, wishing me the best and apologizing for not staying. Thank you Mia, you were wonderful. Girls, you will not be disappointed, she is beyond fabulous.

Halo Video - Jack AA+++++++
I have not yet receieved my videos, however I have no doubt that I will be completely pleased. Another truely professional and great vendor to work with. Jose was extremely easy to get a hold of, answered my emails immediately and even called me in advance to tell me that he was not going to make it to my wedding because of flight difficulties and have Jack for me. Now on Jack... What a great guy. From the moment he came in he had jokes (which i needed to calm my behind down). Jack arrived early, was able to capture everything in my suite including my lovely niece (FG) who had a fascination with telling him and NIck (photo) about the fact she now does 'caca in the potty' Jack was great and I did even realized he was there until he asked me on the dance for 'Do you want to know what time it is' (An inside joke). I can not wait to see the video. My family and friends raved about how funny and cool he was.

Photo - Nick - Ariana studios AA+++++++
Now, I will say that I had my own personal issues with Ariana Studios, because of the whole TA business Micheal Delahanty who worked out of their office and stole 700.00 from me and nearly cost me my HM. I was on the verge of cancelling my photo with them, because honestly, I was not happy with their services, correspondence and lack of speedy reply as I had recieved from all of the rest of my absolutely terrific vendors. My mom and I really had to be on top of them and it was extremely frustrating. I fortunately got to meet Nick a couple of weeks before the wedding, and he seemed extremely warm and genuine. Thankfully I was right. Nick was terrific. He was extremely thoughtful and was concerned with capturing shots as well as taking as little time away from Oscar and My cocktail and reception. He was so enthusiastic and even showed me some of his great shots. Nick did not disappoint me and I just hope Ariana Studios does not disappoint me with the production of my proofs or album that I am waiting for. Trust me, I will keep you posted.

Ceremony Music: MAS Music - Marie Stacks AAAAAAAA++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Marie was great. Oscar and I first met Marie at the Liweddings bridal show in the winter/spring. I kept her flyer and finally decided to give her a call in April/May. She came meet me and my parents at their house and she was an instant hit with my dad. She was so great in coordinating my music and even palyed a piece with my dad at the cocktail hour which was such a hit. Marie was fanatastic. She is terrific and beyond reasonable. I always wanted live music but didn't think i would be able to afford it. That to Marie, I did.

Ceremony: Reverend Nick Montanino AAAAAAAAAAAAAA++++++++
Reverend Nick was great. He was extremely down to earth and made the whole process so comfortable. Oscar and I had written our own vows and we also had a unity candle ceremony in which we incorporated Oscar's boys. Despite our awkwardness, Rev. Nick made everything flow in sync and what still appeared awkward, we all laughed about.

Flowers - Flower Michelle - John AAA+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
What can I say, that has not been said. John was great. I loved my flowers and so did everyone else. Everything that John said he would do, he did with 150% effort. I originally had booked with Barbara, but she left and I am so glad, because when I met with john, he was able to interpret everything I was looking for in my extremely limited flower vocabulary and create my vision.

DJ - Ultimate sounds DJ - AAAAAAAAA+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Unbelievable.. The music was off the chain. I am a big dancer and, one thing that I wanted to make sure of was that my guest had fun and that everyone got on the dance floor. Thanks to the creativity of Frankie and my beautiful 'beyonce' Mariela, the dance floor was never empty. My crowd was extremely mixed and I wasn't sure if everyone would enjoy the music, but everyone did. My aunt told me that people were raving about howgood the music was, even the waiters were commenting that it was by far one of the best and were bopping to the beats.

Fox Hollow INN:
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA+++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Awesome is all I can say. My guys a the front desk were too cute. From the momoent I got there and said 'Hi I am here because i am getting married tommorrow' they had jokes 'It's Over' That was the saying for the rest of the night. The next day in the morning they sent me a bottle of champagne for my girls and I with a Lovely Card with like size 24 font which said 'Its OVER!!!!' The night of the wedding my room was picked up beautifully and roses in the shape of a heart were placed on the bed and there was a new bottle of champagne, toasting flutes and a box of truffles awaiting us in our room. Just Lovely!!!!!!

Ceremony and Reception - Fox Hollow AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA+++++++++++++++++++++++++
They exceeded my expectations. Our matre d (Nick) and bridal attendant (Megan) were terrific. They kept everyone on point and were always making sure that we were haveing a good time and had a drink in our hands. They tried to get us to eat and even served us all seven entrees, but in the excitement of it all, we never got paseed the bacon wrapped shrimp appetizers. Boy, did we so regret not eating when we got up to the room. Megan was terrific. She packed all my stuff up at the end of the night and brought everything over to us at the Inn. At the en of the night, we could not find my Brother and of course my mom and I were freaking out. Megan went and search all over for him and even called over to the Excutive inn, and had the valet guys at FH look for him. She was great. Fortunately he reappeared 30min later in his drunken state (I was so ready to kick his A$^%&^(*)

My DAD AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
My dad decide that he wanted to play a special sog for me at the cocktail hour with Marie on his Alto Sax. He played 'sunshine of my Life' and he had me tearing up. It was just perfect

MY Mommi
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA+++++++++++++++++
Oh there is no person that can ever compare to my Mommi. She is my Angel and was there from day 1. I would have never been able to do it without her.

MY Maid of honor cousin Melissa AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA+++++++++++++++++++++
Another Angel on my side. She was my right hand. A type A just like me, she was my leader and helped so much with the coordination of everything. I never had to ask for help, becuaes she just did it all.

MY DOC Cousin Tania
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA+++++++++++++++++++
Thank you Mama for being my DOC. I could not have asked for a better DOC: reliable, organized, beautiful, dependable and to the point!!

MY Best friend Cynthia AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA++++++++++++++++++++
You have always been there for me since we first met 17yrs ago. I could not ask for a better friend.

DIYs: There were alot of things that I put together on my own during the process. Many of these things are in my album: Aisle runner, OOT boxes, Kids pales, Cd favors with breast cancer pins (donation), votives, programs, bubble baskets
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA++ for effort and time

Honeymoon AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA+++++
Sandals St. Lucia Grande
I have written a full review. It was terrific.

Well i think I covered just about it all. To all of you beautiful ladies of 2007 who have married..Congrats!! May your marriage last for eternity. For all those waiting for the Big Day, please cherish it, it goes by so fast, enjoy every minute and don't sweat the small stuff!!!

Love
JassyandOscar
