FTR - if you are short... doesn't look as good

Holy hell, that is a gorgeous backdrop and you and your wife looked beautiful!

Was that in Greece?

9/26/2011 10:39:38 AM

Yeah, super nice and relaxing place. We didn't think about our moving stress or work once

9/26/2011 10:45:39 AM

I have officially found something I plan to make into a sign or something DIY for the wedding:

that would be so cute on the program for the wedding or something

9/26/2011 11:22:15 AM

Yeah I'm thinking of putting it on the program or making a sign for it.... And I've decided I'm going to do handwritten programs, and they will be on a single sheet because a) I don't feel like spending hours trying to design something on a computer, b) I don't feel like having fancy programs, c) I like to doodle

(I plan on making copies, not doing 200+ by hand )

9/26/2011 11:24:22 AM

^^^omg that is adorable!

9/26/2011 11:24:48 AM

Samwise16 I'm going to find your sister and e-mail it to her so she can use it in her wedding. Sound good?

9/26/2011 11:25:54 AM

Thankfully I'm pretty sure she has already made her programs haha

IM KEEPING THIS ON LOCK DOWN

9/26/2011 11:36:26 AM

You've left me no choice. I will steal it for my own wedding.

Just kidding.

Maybe.

9/26/2011 11:37:40 AM

I'll allow it

That's cute. We're using this Dr. Seuss one one on our programs: "You know you're in love when you can't fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams"

12 days!

Planning is over I guess but still wanted to share. Got a preview of our photos from Saturday.

10/3/2011 9:36:23 AM

Congrats! Mine's coming up in less than two weeks

10/3/2011 11:05:44 AM

anybody know where i can find wines that mature on different wedding anniversaries?

i saw this done once where you get a wine that's decent in like 1 year, then another bottle that's good in 5 years, then 10, then 25

or however you want to do the increments.

anybody either a) know what i'm talking about and b) if you do, know where i could get some?

10/4/2011 9:05:50 AM

It's hard to truly predict which wines will improve in the future, actually

only a small percentage will improve with age (less than 20%, most people say)

but there are some guidelines for which ones seem to do better than others, and you can start with the wikipedia list if you like:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aging_of_wine

10/4/2011 9:38:15 AM

hmmm sounds similar to a gift someone i know got for their wedding

someone "adopted" a specific row, level and whatever so it worked out to their wedding day (10.2.11) for example

and they were apparently signed up for wine from that specific part of the vineyard

the girl i know seemed really excited about it as a gift

10/4/2011 5:01:22 PM

Wedding photos have been posted. 2&3 did an awesome job and even helped clean up when things slowed down.

those pics are amazing! I loved the one of y'all laying down with the paper bags

10/5/2011 12:02:47 AM

Hey TWW,

I've been playing wedding gigs in the triangle area for 6 years now. I've taught violin at the Meredith College Suzuki Program and now I teach in Cary and Wake Forest. I also play in local orchestras such as Raleigh, Durham and the Tar River Philharmonic in Rocky Mount.

I have connections with singers, guitarists, harpists, pianists, organists, string players and wind players. If you want some great sounding Canon in D when you are walking down the aisle, I will be the guy to talk to! So let me know and I can get it all arranged!

I charge $150 per musician for the wedding ceremony. Please e-mail me at encvlnvla@gmail.com for inquiry.

Thanks for reading!

10/5/2011 11:13:44 AM

^Sounds like a great price, and I'm sure you'll get some interest here. You may want to post a link to hear you play, or a list of music you can perform. Good luck!

10/5/2011 11:27:12 AM

Sending the checks for our caterer and DJ this week all that's left is the florist for only my bouquet.. Woot

10/5/2011 10:35:09 PM

Anyone know of a venue that can hold 250 people in downtown Durham that is in the $1000 or less range? I just got a quote from Bay 7 that made my heart stop lol.

10/6/2011 8:21:03 AM

^^ w00t!

^no idea :/

10/6/2011 8:22:26 AM

Yeah I think my boss is asking for a miracle

10/6/2011 8:30:48 AM

Tomorrow!!!!

10/6/2011 12:53:12 PM

^^ have to be Durham?

10/6/2011 1:05:51 PM

Okay, pretty sure the Armory is about $1000. It's not gorgeous, but it will accommodate 250+ for a wedding.

10/6/2011 1:35:55 PM

^^ Yep, has to be Durham. Preferably with bus access. Pain in the ass I know

^ I emailed the Armory but have yet to hear back from them. Whenever I call the chick isn't in her office

I hadn't thought about the outdoor plazas though. I kind of worry about what would happen if the weather went to shit and security though since it would be in the evening. I'll have to run it by my boss and see what she thinks.

Thanks for the tips

10/6/2011 1:36:04 PM

The prob with the outdoor plazas is that the capacity isn't clearly stated online. And depending on the time of year, weather can be VERY iffy. But you can get that info when the rental office chick returns your call.

CassTheSass you need to start posting in here...

10/6/2011 1:57:11 PM

I need bridemaids dress advice... I'm in a wedding next June. And the bride wants us to wear fuchsia pink matching dresses (that's not the issue). She's still in the choosing stage, but so far I'm not thrilled with the choices. The one I did like, she found out didn't come in the bright fuchsia she wanted.

I know I should just suck it up and wear whatever she chooses, but she keeps saying she wants us to love it and wear it again and her dress choices are all $250+.

Other than David's Bridal, do you have any lesser expensive bridesmaids dress advice?

10/6/2011 2:13:36 PM

David's Bridals is about as cheap as it gets in the bridesmaid dress department. There's the formalwear department at places like Macy's but I feel like they're not as good as they once were and you never know what the selection is going to be color-wise.

10/6/2011 2:21:49 PM

I liked the colors at alfred angelo a lot better than db.

it's affordable.

[Edited on October 6, 2011 at 2:22 PM. Reason : dont' feel restricted to the bridal stores for bm dresses either. wtf am i talking about]

10/6/2011 2:22:13 PM

Or, consider looking online at Bluefly.com

10/6/2011 2:24:11 PM

Haha Kirk, I will start posting soon. We need to figure out timeframe since most of Mark's family lives overseas.

10/6/2011 2:24:29 PM

The first problem is that she started looking for BM dresses at Victorian Rose on Glenwood (even though she got her dress at David's).

I'll definitely look at Alfred Angelo.

10/6/2011 2:38:27 PM

Victorian Rose has a few Alfred Angelo dresses. It's not where I got mine because they didn't have a lot of their selection, but they do have some. Maggie Bridal on Glenwood (opposite end) does have quite a large selection of Alfred Angelo dresses.

10/6/2011 5:37:23 PM

I haven't heard many good things about Victoria Rose....
