This is sinclair2b's Purple Wedding!

How much did you end up paying for everything?

FH and I agreed to just use the photographer that comes with the ceremony package since I am not a fan of beach photos anyways, we just want to capture the moments.. then we want to go all out on the photographer for Trash the Dress
.
I never thought about having a Videographer UNTIL I saw Nidhal's Highlights video!(http://www.weddingbycolor.com/nidhal/milestones/151543) It was is beautiful and truly captured moments that blow photos out of the water!

FH and I spent all day yesterday putting together all of the songs we want played, but here are the "formal" ones

Ceremony:
Walk down the isle:
Cold Play, Life in Technicolor (my choice)
The Verve, Bittersweet symphony instrumental (FH's choice)

Your suggestion?

Exit song:
Pat Benatar, We Belong
(I'm going to try and edit it so that the Chorus is the only part actually sung, but have the rest instrumental)
This is the first song I knew that had to be played, because after FH proposed, we got back into the car and this song was playing, it just gave me goosebumps as I was on cloud 9=]

Reception:
Announcement song:
ACDC, Shook me all night long

Family Dance (with ours kids):
Van Morrison, These Are The Days

Father/Daughter:
Creed, With Arms Wide Open acoustic
(has always been mine and my fathers song)

Mother/Son:
Sarah McLachlan, I Will Remember You

First Dance:
Mumford and Sons, After the storm

Cake Cutting:
The Flys, Got you where I want you

Grandparents dance:
Lee Bryce, Love like Crazy

Last song:
Dashboard Confessional, Hands Down acoustic


What are some of yours.?

What we have gathered thus far!

These are the two SO and I are debating on..

I SO wish I saw this site before I got my dress :( I would totally get a second one to change in to if my favorites weren't already SOLD!
  now I'm double thinking it erg.. I need to stop! I still have seven months til I do.

Since it is going to be an outdoor wedding in Florida, in late April, I think it would be best to wear my hair up. Overall I've stuck to the same idea for hairstyles.. I'm just not sure on whether to do a hair piece, veil, or both Hmm

My son, Greyson Liam
aka the ring bearer =]

Mine was very simple to choose from, it's the matching band to my engagement ring. SO on the other hand took about six months longer to finally decide on his. Ah can't wait to wear it!!

I'm not positive on much about the wedding, but there was one thing I knew for sure.. The dress! I tried on eleven dresses, but number three was THE one, not to mention it was well below my budget :)
Since I took the photos myself, you don't get to see the full dress, but it has a small train as well.
I need to have alterations (have the ribbing taken out to be more form fitting and add a bussle) but I want to wait until I am done getting into shape!

My SO and I lived in Chicago and went down to Sarasota to his fathers condo for Christmas. My FBIL kept telling me about a bar on the beach in Siesta Key and that we should go there, I got amped up and kept telling SO that we had to go! Two days before we went back home (December 27, 2010), we decided to finally go on a date night. We drove to the beach as sun was setting.. We were taking photos together and then SO said that we must have parked too far from the bar so we have a ways to walk. As we were walking I got chilly and stuck my arm in SOs coat, he uivkly jumped and told m to stand on the other side of him "to block the wind", Iwas confused. Suddenly he stopped me and told me he wanted to be this happy for the rest of his life, got down and proposed! I was still confused.. Lol I still had my phone in hand taking photos.. All that came out was, are you serious?? Then of course I said yes, he fessed there really was no bar on the beach, my FBIL and FFIL had been playing along to confuse me even more. He said he had a whole speech put together, but when input my arm in his coat I almost grabbed the ring so I threw him off :) Unfortunately he didn't get my ring size, and the ring ended up being 2 sizes too big. I felt like a kid on Christmas that couldn't play with my new toy! lol
