Im writing the check tonight to book my photographer! Im going with Inspired Images by Melissa. FI and I met her last night and absolutely loved her and all her pictures. Ive had her in mind for a while but didnt have the $$. But when FFIL offered to pay for the RD, FMILs $$ went to the photographer! Woo!
As for my post about having to settle with everything except my FI...I finally dont have to settle! I love this girl!
Aaaaand. I had to call the reception venue to see if I could extend my recpetion by an hr (to accommedate photo time) and they said no

BUT b/c there is another couple getting married outside in the same location as me and hour later... which means theyre going to give her my name/# so we can discuss the possibility of splitting the price of chairs! Heck yes!
Haha its been a good Friday for me I hope it is for all of you too!!
