hi ladies! thanks for all the msgs and well wishes
we finally did it. and everything was FANTASTIC! of course, there were little glitches here and there, but i was the only one who noticed it (just like jess said).
vendors reviews will be in soon-ish, i hope. i've been running around hawaii non-stop and am slated to leave tomorrow. DH (AHHHHH!) is currently trying to extend our trip so we can finally RELAX. we've done nothing but go go go go go. le sigh.
pictures are up on FB! people have added them and i uploaded some that someone sent me
