I've been procrastinating on posting the rest of these, but here they are...
Photographer: Sassy Mouth, A+
Marissa is super relaxed and easy to work with, and her prices are amazing. I think her pictures stand up to other photogs who charge thousands more. I am SO HAPPY with the way the sneak peaks turned out and can't wait to see the rest when they're ready! Here's the link to our blog post:

Sue is a friend of DH's mother and a JP, and offered to do our ceremony. It was her first but you would have never known, she did such a great job!
Rehearsal Dinner: Giovanni's in Northford, A (food) and Gouveia Vineyards in Wallingford, A+ (venue and wine)
Giovanni's was on the way between Woodwinds and the vineyard so we picked up a few catering trays. We ended up finishing the rehearsal earlier than expected so we called them and they were able to have our order ready early. The food was really good. I love love love Gouveia Vineyards, FI and I had been there before and their wine is amazing. There were 15 of us and we went through ten bottles. The building there is beautiful and since it was a Thursday night it wasn't crowded. We had a really great time, I'm glad that we did this instead of having a formal dinner.
Invitations:

We ordered pocketfolds and envelopes from them and bought cardstock from Michael's and did the printing and cutting ourselves. The invitations came out really well and the prices were great.
