********************** OUR LOVE STORY *************************
***********THE PROPOSAL************ Pictures by My Daughter Niki
So Dh & my daughter conspired with our Pastor to planned a surprise proposal for me. Sunday morning in front the church congregation I almost fainted because Dh is a real low key guy, so that was a real shocker.
Engagment Pics Sharper Image Park in NJ I just have to mention that it was freezing, but you couldn't tell looking at these pics.
CHECK OUT THE ICE ON THE WATER
Bridal Shower Randalls' Residence W. Hempstead, NY
It was so much fun & beautiful. My Bridal Party did a fantastic job. I knew the day but that was it. My mom & cousin (who live upstate) DH, godmother all said they couldn't make it and I was not in a good mood. They all surprised by showing up. It was great
I LOVE THIS GIFT FROM MY MOH - THIS WAS THE DAY WE GOT ENGAGED
FH left a surprise for me. A matching diamond necklace & earrings. The funniest gift ever. My underwear as it changes in years to come. It went from a thong to grannie panties!
BACHELORETTE NIGHT AMBIANCE, QUEENS NY STRATA NYC, NY DJ Kauos [B/]
I just wanna say that DH took care of the location for us, and he came through. We had the entire club to ourselves free of charge.. I Love my MAN!!!!
I saw this dress online & it was love at first sight.. i called so many bridal stores all along the east coast from NY to VA and no one had this dress. I finally spoke to the owner of Belle Bridals who was nice enough to order it for me without me having to make a deposit incase I didn't like it.. I sent her a check the next day. She was so sweet and helpful she always made me feel like I was her only bride. Since my commute to her boutique is a distance she even went out her way to meet me in manhattan to pick up BM dresses.

JrBm dresses Forever Yours Belle Bridals
BM dresses David's Bridal 1504 Old Country Road:C Loved the dresses.. Hated the customer service
BM shoes www.Bakers.com
Jewelry okay please forgive me but i cannot rememder who made my Tiara but i bought it at Belle Bridal Earrings -luxe www.whiteaisle.com
Bracelet & All bridal party jewelry including MOB Fashion District NYC
Garter -DIY
Hair A++++++++++ Mia of ************* www.************.com (212)961-7019/ (631)920-2997 what can i say about her that has not been said... She is on top of her game. On time(early), professional, great to work with, corteous. Mia not only did my hair but she also did my moms after the original stylist messed it up & she jumped in to assist jade and did my moms make-up also she saved the day BIG TIME. i still owe her.. I cannot say enough words to express my grattitude to Mia.
Make-up A+++++++++ Jade (718)926-9304 Jade is a friend of mine and she is awesome. She came with an assistant for the day and they did 16 faces including mine. Everyone looked awesome. Worked nonstop without a complaint,, very professional. Even though she is fairly new to this business she is AWESOME!!!!!
I feel like I had the best of both worlds working on me that day. Who could ask for more.
DOC- Angie of Jazzy Affairs A++++++++ 347-529-2892 Angie was on top of things. All I did all day while awaiting my hair & make-up stylist was sleep, eat & relax. She took care of everything & everyone while preparation was going on. After the wedding my BM's told me about so much bumps that went on in their prep, including one of my nieces forgetting their dress , but I never knew any of this. I was too busy listening to music & eating my fruit platter (courtesy of Angie). Not to mention that on my way to the ceremony I realized that i never checked if my seating chart was dropped off to my RH by a friend (who shall remain nameless and it wasn't, Angie once again saved the day & seating chart was in place before the ceremony even began. My day would not have been what it was without her.
Tux Tuxedo King & Limousine Depot B-
Limos Tuxedo King & Limousine Depot B- They get a B for customer service , I felt like I they were doing me a favor whenever I spoke to them as though it was a hassle. On the hand since we had such a large BP I got a vintage rolls for FREE!!!! But it was Vintage it sounded like it was gonna stall at any moment my mom & I laughed all the way to the RH. We also got our party bus from through them and it was top notch, BP loved it. They were on time, but the drivers did not know where they were going even though the limo co. was given an itinary
Floral TerraceA++++ Fantastic place. We took one look and knew it was for us. No regrets. The food was fantastic, vienesse table is still on the tongues of my guest. There was an overflow of food. Place was clean and staff was curteous to my guest.
DJ RedboyA++++++++++ Silk City Ent (718) 864-9611 DJ Red Boy We have been friends for a lifetime and I couldn't imagine anyonelse doing this. he kept us partying all night & the MC was so funny, my guest loved him. Whenever we would make an attempt to sit down & eat he through on anither hit. He even got on the dance floor and taught my guest the Brooklyn slide.(he is in the black shirt) AWESOME!!!!!!!
Photograpy-A (still awaiting proofs) Sharper Image (973-) 705-8473 Ok at first i was a bit nervous about this because he is a family friend. But he proved me WRONG. He was professional & easy to work with and i am excited about seeing our final albums. 85% of the pictures here are his work. None of them retouched, he just let me get my hands on them because he is a freind of DH family. As most of you know we are taking pics soon because we didn't get outdoor pics. I can't wait to see the outcome of all the proofs, I know it will be amazing.
All decorating & assembly of CP on day of InnovativeAlternatives Event & Floral Design 718-241-4210 Website
Huppah[B/]
Unity Canle & Broom- DIY
Aisle Runner A++ www.lorilis.com The words are 'God Bless Whoever Sent You I really needed you.' One of my favorite things in the whole wedding. The words are from the song FH dedicated to me when he asked me to be his wife
Some more DIY's Guestbook Crypacks Petalcones Cardbox Menus Seating Chart PewBows (ended up on the huppah ) and my sweet maid of honor who made me my cake topper(she tried) spend days doing this. i loved it
Videography -C 2NV productions www.2nvproductions.com 914) 664-3184 He was referred to us from a friend of DH. He is reasonably priced. Was on time and professional. He gets a C because he was about to leave after his 8 hr contract was up and my mom told him to stay at his $150p/hr overtime rate and he sat down for about 30mins that I noticed, and when i approached him to ask him why was he sitting he was rude about it, telling me he is waiting on 'FOMALITIES' I told him at that price you need to keep taping until the roof comes down or LEAVE.
That was the only bump on this journey . If I had the oppurtunity to marry my wonderful husband again, i would sufffer all the headaches, sttress & anxiety that come with planning a wedding, just to become Mrs. M all over again .
Hope I didn't forget anything. Please enjoy!!!!!
Happy Planing!

Jenn all the flowers were all silk, alot of people asked me the same question. I loved how the different shades of brown played off each other...
