Such a momentous celebration! All the pictures were wonderful. I especially liked the military attire. A good wife always let's her husband "think" he's in charge!! =) Congrats!!

Congratulations to you both! I just married my best friend in May. Planning the wedding was pretty stressful, but in the end it really didn't matter how perfect everything was... all that mattered was having my family and friends present to witness the greatest day of my life. Cherish every second of your wedding day because all the months of preparation will pass quickly on your wedding day. I did a journal as well on wedding.womer.com. I had a lot of fun writing in it and enjoyed the feedback and suggestions. When I read yours it takes me back to what I was doing just a year ago. If you need any advice or ideas just shoot me a message to natalie@womer.com. Our day was perfect and your day will be too. I wish I could make the trip to Santa Fe, but it's so hard to get away from work... Have fun every step of the way and soak in every minute of your wedding day. Take care!

I love your website. As you prepare to marry your best friend, keep everything in proper perspective and thank God every day that you found each other. And also remember that when I'm right, I'm right. I love you both.

The bridal bouquet was very pretty. Unfortunately, everything else about the flowers was horrid. The bouquets for the wedding party were tiny and cheap looking, not to mention the wrong color. We purchased bouquet jewelery for all of the corsages and bouquets, which they forgot to use. We had 10 tabletop arrangements. A guests told us that one of the arrangements was very poorly put together and another guest told us that one fell apart on the table, although I did not actually look at any of the table arrangements myself. I think I should have done more shopping around for prices and higher quality, so that I had a better idea of what kind of vendor I was booking. I trusted the wedding planner when booking her and I should have done my homework, since we were paying the bill!

Our wedding cake was absolutely delicious! Several guests commented that it was the best wedding cake they had ever tasted. We chose a very basic and simple design for the cake and it was delivered to us exactly as we had ordered.

Zach provided our reception music. Because we did not have much money in the budget for reception music and space was limited, we selected this trio. We were very pleasantly surprised at how great the music was from these 3 gentlemen. It was affordable and added the perfect touch to our celebration.

Giovanni's String Quartet provided our ceremony music. They did a beautiful job on the day of the wedding. Karl was very responsive during the process and the information provided on their website was the best of any vendor that we had considered. We had a specific song that we wanted played during the candle lighting section of the ceremony. Karl could not find sheet music for it, so he made an arrangement himself for a very reasonable fee (which turned out beautiful). They offer such a variety of music and are so flexible that I believe they could please any bride!
