Its not even so much that I don't want to pay for it, it's more that I think it's so pretty up there already I didn't feel it needed anything. Just wanted to see what you were thinking.Also if your reading this and your not Knina, I would like your opinions too. ha ha]]>

        <description><![CDATA[Thanks for your response to my Lighthouse Point question last week! I'm super jealous that you lived on West Cliff - how did you manage that? It's one of my favorite places in the world!My question for you is: If we were to have our ceremony at Lighthouse Point, do you think I should be concerned about parking? I know there are lots of parking spaces around, but if our group has 30ish cars are they going to have a hard time finding spaces? I've never had a problem parking there, but I'm only one car! I can definetely encourage people to carpool if they're at the same hotel, but I don't think a shuttle is in our budget.Thanks :D]]>

How crazy is that - we love our photog and had used her before so we knew we wanted to splurge with her, but doing so meant skimping on other things. Now with like 16 dyas I want to add 101 more things, like a candy buffet, and upgrade our linens even more and our flowers and such. ]]>

Our pictures were taken in Santa Cruz at Natural Bridges. That location had so many beautiful back drops for our photos. Denne made us feel comfortable, while giving simple direction. We were able to get our photos back on a DVD extremly quickly and we loved all the pictures she took of us. She really did capture the love between my fiance and I! The best part is that she understood we were on a tight budget and was able to work within our budget! I'm so grateful that we were able to get such amazing photos at such a good price! If you would like to see our engagement photos to see her work you can email me at slsuch11@yahoo.com or you can email her at dennealise@yahoo.com She has some photos posted on this link <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/21419400@N02/of" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/21419400@N02/of</a> various photoshoots she has done but unfortunetly her website is currently under constructions so you aren't able to see all of her amazing work!

        <description><![CDATA[So...haven't posted much of my own stuff because I only get flamed.&nbsp; But today I'm giving up because I need help.&nbsp; I got served with paperwork for custody of my 11 year old son not too long ago for the 6th time in 9 years.&nbsp; I'm really really tired of this crap and had court today.&nbsp; So...long story short, my attorney didn't show up, got in a fight with my FI, my MOH (sister) has never bothered out of her stay at home wife life to bother with my custody battles and I'm tired tired tired.&nbsp; Soo I told my mom I was sick and tired of her crap and my other sister who I'm not close with but she is.&nbsp; Expecting the wrath tomorrow or at least before the wedding.&nbsp; She's the type of person who will just talk crap about you in a small town where she's super popular and it will get back to you.&nbsp; Really looking forward to the wedding standing up there by myself.]]>

        <description><![CDATA[Hi.   Does anybody know a caterer that makes good Asian food (Japanese or Korean) in the bay area?  I am Korean and I would like to incorporate some aspect of my culture in the wedding. I would appreciate your help or any suggestions you might have?   Also, if we are purchasing our own alcohol (we are only serving wines), do I need to hire a bartender? Can you just hire a bartender for its services?]]>
