Gribbles · January 2012

Your Name: Petra

Your Spouse's Name: Ben

Wedding Date: 22 March 2011

Ceremony: The Glass Garden, Chapel of the Flowers

Reception: Little Buddha, The Palms

Your dress:

Most favorite WR item or task: Making all the little decisions, like maps, menus, accessories, the little, fun touches.

Least favorite WR item or task: The limo. It was the most epxensive element of our day and although it was totally worth it, the limo company were a major headache the day before the wedding.

Tell a funny/quirky WR anectode: This photo is me and my bridesmaid, mum and another friend waiting outside the Wynn for the chapel limo. We just happened to see the big blue limo going past with our guests on board and we were so excited to see how huge it was! It suddenly made everything feel very real, seeing all my plans come to life!

Best piece of advice: Write up a budget from the beginning - then double or triple it!

Any 1st Anniversary Plans?: We are heading to Amsterdam for three nights. They have a Little Buddha restaurant there (the only other one outside of Vegas) so we are having dinner and then who knows...!

LilMissScareAll · January 2012

Your Name: Meshell

Your Spouse's Name: Ben

Wedding Date: October 14, 2011

Ceremony: The Platinum Hotel - pooldeck

Reception: The Platinum Hotel - Kil@Wat & pooldeck

Your dress: Alfred Angelo

Most favorite WR item or task: our heart logo, we incorporated it everywhere

Least favorite WR item or task: chasing down slackers who didn't RSVP

Tell a funny/quirky WR anectode: Doesn't quite fit, but my dad kept saying he was going to the the "I'm watching you" look/point thing when he handed me off at the ceremony, well at the last minute he decided to do it. Great photo op.

Best piece of advice: just go with it. Things will go wrong, do not expect perfection, it will not happen.

Any 1st Anniversary Plans?: Well one of my good friends is getting married the day before our anniversay so we will be flying out to Chicago for that weekend.

And some picture wh0ring:

Jolene, I think you guys had Mike L too right? We got married the same day and used them as well. Loved them.

vegasgroom · January 2012

Your Name: vegasgroom

Your Spouse's Name: bridejackie
Wedding Date: 6/11/11
Ceremony: Mix Restaurant at THEHotel/Mandalay
Reception: Mix Restaurant at THEHotel/Mandalay
Your dress: No dress for me, I wore a tux from Hugo Boss
Most favorite WR item or task: Planning the honeymoon
Least favorite WR item or task: Trimming the invite list to a count our venue could accommadate
Tell a funny/quirky WR anectode: So it turns out, just by chance, that the girl who caught the bouquet at our wedding was newly pregnant at the time and probably did end up as the next to be married from those that attended LOL.
Best piece of advice: We found that using a Google Docs spreadsheet helped with the wedding planning immensely if both halves are taking part in the planning process. Information can be added and edited by either person at the same time, accessed from anywhere including phones and tablets. It makes it very easy for both sides to keep up to date, know what needs to be done, etc. without having to remember to compare notes every day.
Any 1st Anniversary Plans?: Going back to Vegas for June 11th week.

GeminiRN2 · January 2012

Your Name: Laura

Your Spouse's Name: David

Wedding Date: 10/3/2011

Ceremony: Springs Preserve

Reception: Springs Preserve

Your dress: Paloma Blanca

Most favorite WR item or task: The tastings...yum!!

Least favorite WR item or task: Dealing with the transportation logistics.

Tell a funny/quirky WR anectode: Of all of the things I had stressed about or tried to prepare for, the weather was NOT one of them. It rained cats and dogs on my wedding day and we had to move our ceremony indoors. Funny how I never gave it a thought during the planning process. Our coordinator told me in the beginning "In two years, I've only had to move two weddings indoors due to weather". haha.
Best piece of advice: Don't sweat the small stuff and don't get too wrapped up in the little details...it's not worth it! Remember to take time and have fun. That's what it is all about:)

Any 1st Anniversary Plans?: Tahiti or Europe?

wiwicaty · January 2012

Here's me, answering my own survey

Your Name: Caterina

Your Spouse's Name: William

Wedding Date: June 7th 2011

Ceremony: Lavender Salon @ Wynn

Reception: In- Suite @ Wynn (Salon Suite on the 53rd floor)

Your dress/suit: RS Couture of Rome

Most favorite WR item or task: Securing our date was one of the best moments. Then, my dress with its show-stopper-10ft-long train and the tiara. Also, working on the trivia for the "did you know?" guest towels and the coasters was good times!

Least favorite WR item or task: OMG the blasted invitations! I love them, but they were a MAJOR pain.

Tell a funny/quirky WR anectode: Not really funny but I have a couple of anectodes. During the Royal Wedding madness my nieces (two twin redheaded little girls) called me up and said: "Auntie, auntie... Wiil and Cate: THE WEDDING OF THE CENTURYYYY!" LOL, they were so funny. After over 14 years, I'd say!!!

During my vows I cried like a fountain and hubby kept screwing up his face to make me laugh instead... I don't know which one of us looked more crazy!

I had a fun "juping on the bed" photo in my list of must-haves that I wanted to have taken during the getting ready hour but I didn't have time, so the photographers mentioned it during the reception, which resulted in us BOTH jumping on the bed... we got some amazing shots from it

Best piece of advice: 1) Get videography! 2) Pack a few Shout Wipes To Go for the big day, they work!!

Any 1st Anniversary Plans?: We also would like to go back to Vegas for a whole week to celebrate, like VG!

This is me at my last fitting

Tiara:

Coasters:
