If you are a Bride-To-Be, when is your wedding date?: July 8, 2011

A little about yourself and what you have to offer this wedding community?: I am just starting to plan my wedding.

With $6000 I still think I can pull off a wedding I'm going to love and enjoy. I'm going to need some help along the way and I think my lessons learned will be a benefit to other budget brides.

State: Nationwide Vendor

We decided to go to Cuba for an all-inclusive wedding deal. It was cheaper and seemed like a great way to have a week long party instead of a one day party.

I still have some serious stress-out moments where I wonder if we made the right choice. I really enjoy reading all the fun indie wedding blogs and seeing what other people have created. But I won't get the chance to create all that since it's a basically a pre-planned wedding package. Also, pretty much my…

Happy Canada Day To Me!

On Canada Day Brad suggested that we go check out what was happening on the waterfront. It was bustling and lovely. He then suggested we go up to Citadel Hill to get some shots of the waterfront. It was lovely. A few clouds passed over the sun but in general the day was bright.
