Connections! Do you have any?

Ok, ok, ok! I'll officially announce it on my blog (lucky blog, you're the first official announcement I'm making).

Jed and I have decided to get married.. if you couldn't tell already!
where? Salt Lake Temple
When? Friday, January 2nd, 2009 @ 1:00 pm
Why? Because we love each other, duh!

Anyway, so we're trying to get this whole wedding planned in just over two months. So the question I have for you all is about connections-- here's where it gets interactive! I'm wondering if you know anyone who does photography? flowers? decoration idea? Anything!

My ears are open and I wanna hear any suggestions you may have! Thanks, all!

I am all about planning wedding quickly (and cheaply). Here's a website with really cute (fairly cheap) invitations/announcements: http://www.myjeanm.com/

They have free shipping if you email their page to someone else (I emailed the page to Adam...you could email it to Jed!). That saves you about $50...not bad! Plus, they ship them out super fast.

Send me an email if you have any other questions and I'll be trying to think of more ideas....congratulations! Adam and I were married on January 4th last year....it's a good way to begin a year!

Hey I know this GREAT guy that can probably do your dessert bar and luncheon! Ha ha! Just kidding... but not really. Anyway... we had a gal do our pictures down there and we really liked them. I think she has a website... it is staciephotography.com. If not let me know; I have her e-mail address.
Just so you know... my mom and us girls made April's boutoniers from fake flowers and they were pretty easy and quick if you are looking to save some money. I did my bouquet and really liked it, but I don't know if you would... remind me to show you when you come up. Also, sounds weird, but you can order flowers from Costco if you know someone that has a card... I've heard they are fairly cheap and good quality, so you might want to check into that. The end.

i can ask my aunt and see if she might be willing to help with flowers. she's usually pretty busy but might be willing if i offer to help. i'd just need to know what kind of flowers you want and all that stuff.

The girl that did my photography was named Emily Vandyke. I really like her, I think she's listed in the phone book, but I'll try to get you her number as soon as I find it.

kent and megans photographer is one of megans best friends from high school, and he started his photography business about a year ago, but he's done a bunch of weddings, engagements, bridals, everything. he's got professional camera equiptment and everything, the works. i met him on monday and he is awesome! he's also really inexpensive because hes jsut trying to get some experience behind him before he charges people the normal going rate. he's doing megans and kents pictures for free as their wedding gift, and he's willing to do any package and make something work for whats in your budget, anyways, hes awesome. if you want his number let me know!

love you!!

k im annoying, but i have ONE More comment to leave- my cousin melissa ordered her flowers from costco, and they were really really beautiful! they were also the cheapest compared to everywhere else she'd looked into, because they order them in bulkl. i think that would be a really good place to get flowers from, my mom has a costco card if you wanna use it! i wanna help you girl!... if you cant tell... judy marlow :)
ok im done, bye

Hey!!! Congratulations!! I'm so happy/excited for you!! Yay!!
So, my advice is, ask my mom to do your cake. She does the BEST cakes! Not only do they look great, but they taste like heaven! And, I know she'll do yours for free.
Also, make your invite list ASAP!! I had a six week engagement, and I did not have enough time to track down everyone I wanted to invite, so get going on that.
Remember, that your wedding and reception last a day, but the pictures last the rest of your lives! GET GOOD ONES! Really search out an awesome photographer. If I knew one around here, I'd tell you, but I don't. DO NOT SETTLE! That is my one regret, that I used my friends instead of professionals. I look at other peoples' wedding albums with envy. Don't do what I did. Use the money you'd save on the cake for getting a more expensive photographer. ;) Good luck!!

This is the blog and website of my best friend Mary. I don't know if you ever got to know her but she is my best friend from Blue Springs. I know your dad knows her really well as well as Bremen. She has her own business and has been working for years. She is seriously AMAZING! Plus I figured it is always nice when they know your family it makes it more relaxed and fun. Good luck with all the plans!

P.S. I think you know David Beck... she did his wedding pictures!

Holy crapulations! I can't wait for your big fat mormon wedding!!!!

So the lady that did our wedding was awesome! She is just starting out so she really puts a lot into her work. She was pretty inexpensive and did a really nice job. Her website is wasatchdigitalimaging.com. She doesn't have very many wedding stuff, but a lot of portrait work on there. I know she wants to do more wedding/Bridal work...anyway...just thought i would pass that along. :) Congratulations! We love you!
