After the first dance and quick intros, dinner started.  We didn’t want everyone and their mother making speeches so we just designated a few key people to do the honors.

First up were the Best Man Aaron, and MOH Brandi.

Decorations:  Luxel Décor

Grade:  C (Customer Service)  A (Workmanship)

We decided to go with the decor company recommended by the hall; you know when they have their “preferred vendors”.  Of course there was no pressure to use them, but we liked their work.

This is a long post, sorry y’all, but I felt I had to do it for the benefit of all of the GTA brides out there :)

OK, I know I’m sooo slack, but I have been debating on whether I should do an entire post with all of my reviews or just bits and pieces… I decided the latter.

My plan was to begin the reviews in July after I completed my wedding recaps, but since that didn’t happen, I decided to go ahead with them regardless.

P.S. You can click on the page tab to see all of our vendor reviews.

… and Happy Canada Day to my fellow Canucks!

We are planning a surprise party for my pops and it’s slated to go down this Saturday July 4th.  I’ve been planning the party for over a month and a half and I’m so glad we are almost there.  My only main concern is the music.  There’s going to be a mix of old and young at the party… pretty much the same range of people who attended my wedding, but on a smaller scale.  We’re expecting 40+ peeps to the house.  Anyways, we are gonna play music that my dad likes (read: old people music)  I’m just playin’ he always smiles when I say that.

Stepped into the elevator at work and was looking up at the monitor and learned that Farah Fawcett passed away after a long battle with cancer… I just shook my head and began to think about her family.  I couldn’t help but think how these things normally happen in 3’s.  First Ed McMahon, then Farah… I immediately thought, who’s next?

So I rush home, as always, to catch the last 30 minutes of Y&R, and then found out at 5:30 sharp that “Michael Jackson was suffering from cardiac arrest and it doesn’t look good”.  I believed in heart that he would make it.  He didn’t.  I’m just speechless, and in tears listening to P.Y.T.

Rest In Peace Michael Jackson… “Gone Too Soon”

This brings me LOL’s!

As you were!

I know what your thinking… two posts in two days?  I had a lot of time on my hands last night.  My thing is this,  I have the copy ready… it just takes time to decide what pics I want to use!

Back the recaps!  The wedding party entered the hall to “Magic” by Robin Thicke. It’s a very up beat song… all of us was bumping to the beats as our DJ was revving up the crowd.
