Break a contract: Has anyone done this?
I'm thinking about breaking my photography contract.

The photograhers are a husband and wife duo. The husband met with FH and I and we really liked him so we signed a contract and put a $700 deposit down.

Since then, the wife and I have corresponded regarding the details. A few weeks ago, she said she would email me a timeline (so my other vendors could coordinate) "soon".

Two weeks roll around and no timeline so I email her and call her twice in one day. No answer and no response. So I called her husband, he was very nice and got me the timeline BUT I don't get a good vibe from the wife. Thus, I want to break the contract.

Also, I re-read the contract. Apparently, touching up photos is up to their discrepancy. When we first met with the husband, I am pretty sure he said they touched up all photos.

How do I do this and get my $700 back? Any words of wisdom?

Bride entrance song
Crazy idea
Today at work, while listening to youtube, I re-listened to a song from Slumdog Millionaire. Latika's Theme - A. R. Rahman featuring Suzanne

FH and I love this song...in fact, the whole soundtrack. I am debating using this as my ceremony entrance song. The wedding march doesn't envoke any emotion from me but this song does. Crazy idea?

Help if you know invitation etiquette!
Question #1
For pocket fold invitations, are you supposed to do an inner and outer envelope? Someone told me that it's not proper etiquette when you have pocket folds.

Question #2
Do you put the envelope liner on the outer or inner envelope?


Sorry for the ignorant questions, I'm more of an email/evite type of person.

Hershey Kisses Info
Today I was curious about the lifespan of Hersey Kisses. Really, my curiosity was over how soon I could buy the Kisses and make the favor boxes.

So I called Hershey's to find out!

On each bag of chocolate, there is a code. Only the last 2 digits are important. This code will let you know the "best use by" date.

Second to last digit - Year
8 - 2008
9 - 2009
0 -2010

Last digit - Month
A - Jan
B - Feb
C- Mar
D - Apr
(so forth)
L - Dec

Hope this helps! Oh yeah, the best temp to store it is from 65 to 70 degrees.

Rehearsal Dinner Dress
I LOVE THIS!!!
It's an After Six style #6507 dress that's meant to be a bridesmaids dress. I don't know if I'll do white lace with white satin, I may do white lace with light pink satin!

On the weddingbee.com, a girl is actually using it for her wedding dress. I absolutely love it for the rehearsal dinner!

Are you getting a separate bouquet for the toss?
My florist says this is a good idea since the brides bouquet is normally too heavy. Is anyone getting a separate one just got the toss? If so, is it made of real flowers or fake?

Any tips on a DIY bouquet would be helpful too.

Wedding Dress
Please help...size dilemma
Before buying a size 16 wedding dress, I told my dress consultant that I was going to lose a lot of weight before the wedding. She assured me they can take it down 2 sizes.

(That sounds like a super duper large size but I really am a street size 10-12).

I signed up for a diet program and am on a projected path to lose approx. 55 pounds before the wedding. This is more than 2 dress sizes.

Should I trade in my dress now (David's Bridal doesn't allow returns) and get a size 14 or a size 12?
