Pro Bam! Pic Heavy!

Sherry, on September 26, 2019 at 10:19 AM Posted in Married Life 2 47

We are married!!! After a 9 month engagement, our day has come and gone and it was amazing. The only main issue was with our DOC and the fact that she literally did nothing. She showed up hours late then decided to go sleep in her car for 3 hours and wasn't seen again until the end of the day when she started cleaning up and I asked her to leave. We were married this past Sunday (9/22/29) and yes, these are our pro pictures, our photographer rocks and got them back to us in 3 days! No we didn't request that, that was all her. We never expected them back this quickly.

Our final cost came to $6769.

DIY'd our photo booth and it was the best $50 we spent. No DJ and no one missed it. Food was a Taco Bar, dessert table with Smore's bar and everyone loved it. Two dresses (another great decision).

88 guest invited. 55 RSVP'd yes, 33 RSVP'd no and out of the 55 we had 1 no show.

We head out on our 10 day honeymoon bright and early in the morning. Thank you to everyone in the Wedding Wire community. Some of the best wedding advice and ideas come from right here! If your day hasn't come yet, it will and once it gets here you will wonder where the time went. The day is a huge blur and there isn't enough time for it all. We didn't eat and there are people we never even got to say hi to but at the end of the day, we reached our end goal, to be married and I wouldn't have changed anything about it.

    Congrats!! Oh man I would have killed the DOC. I hope she refunded some of your money. If not I'd have been completely livid.

    Wow! Your ceremony space is so cool, and your bouquet is stunning. I love the vintage, soft feel of everything! I'm sorry about your DOC, make sure to write a review warning other brides. Congratulations!

    Thank you and I wish I could but she is a family friend, but one I have known since I was 5 and had no reason to doubt her abilities when she volunteered to do it. Oh well, live and learn. I will be having a conversation with her once we get back from the honeymoon.

    That makes more sense! Yeah, "friendors" can be a risk for sure. It sounds like everything else worked out though which is great!

    She is a family friend that volunteered but I had every intention on paying her and giving her the gift I got for her. I still gave her the gift but didn't pay her. Live and learn. A conversation will be had after the honeymoon.

    Yes it did and everyone else noticed and stepped in. I didn't even notice the things she was supposed to take care of were taken care of by my mom, sister, cousin etc until later when they as well as others told me and asked where she was. Our families are rock stars and wanted nothing more than for us to enjoy our day stress free.

    Thanks so much. The weather was absolutely perfect. The bouquet was made from family heirlooms that everyone gifted me. It is such a breath taking keepsake-a very heavy one lol. Your big day will be here before you know it!
