I am sooooo excited!!!! We FINALLY are progressing on the wedding front!!!!
Date: September 5, 2009
Location: Iberostar Punta Cana, Dominican Republic
Travel Agency/Wedding Coordination: LUXE Weddings
Photographer/DJ/Graphic Designer: JET Events
I was getting a little anxious because we hadn''t really seen much movement from our vendors and I was getting worried that we were going to cut it way too close for STDs to go out and get enough people on board. But we just gave our initial deposit to guarantee airfare and hotel and got confirmation of our wedding date.
For the photographer, DJ and graphic designer, we asked one of our friend''s who took her engagement photos because they were really nice and straightforward. She gave us the name of her photographer and told us that it was actually a co-worker of hers that is trying to get her business off the ground. Our engagement session will be $75 and we get all the original photos on a CD, plus they will touch-up up to 10 different images. While we were talking, she mentioned that their group is just getting started and would love to get one wedding where they could incorporate all the elements of their company. I told her we were having a destination wedding and that all the pricing we had found was very much out of our price range. They put together a package that includes all their services (photography, DJ, and Invitations) for $2k! And it includes a TTD session the day after the wedding!
And finally...I bought my wedding dress! I found it on eBay for $150...and it was delivered this morning and it''s gorgeous! Brand New, with tags still attached. I will have to pay for hemming the dress, but other than that...it''s perfect!
I am soooo happy!
