    Name: Jessi

    Wedding Date: 2-26-11

    Wedding Colors: Fuschia- Blush Pink- Silver/Grey

    Fun Fact about Yourself: I danced (ballet/ hip-hop/ jazz, etc.) from age 8-18 and though I have a career in the medical field, currently work in a hospital, and will go back to school for Pre-Med/Med school after the wedding, my dream is to be a dance choregrapher or on a professional dance team, such as a Magic dancer, regardless of the crappy pay. =)

    Explain Your Screename: JJ = Jessi (my name) James (fiance's name) 5-15-06 is the date we started dating.

    Best Planning Tip: Just because a vendor you really love seems out of your budget, do NOT be scared to negotiate! I have found the weddings are no different than buying a car or a home....you CAN drop prices. Vendors are more than willing to negotiate with you and not very many brides do, but they want your business and in this economy...they WILL work with you and your budget. I have AMAZING vendors, and all worked within my budget and some even added things in for free =) NEGOTIATE! I can't tell you that enough.

    [QUOTE]YAY!  SU Hatters! Name: Haley Wedding Date: 11/19/11 Wedding Colors or Theme: Purple, Lavender Fun Fact About Yourself: I was a Mall Marketing Manager in New Zealand for a year :) (optional) Explain Your Screen Name: My freshman year in college I asked my roomie how to spell Bumble Bee so I could create my yahoo chat room name.  She mispelled it and I entered it in the way she spelled it and hit "create" before realizing it was wrong......it has stuck ever since  I'm also going to add a question: Best Planning Tip: Besides shop around.....do things EARLY....it's never too early to book, create or make something!
