Tulsa Wedding

I'm new to the group and figured what better place to post since it my home state!!! I'm getting married May 19, 2012 and am looking for a one stop venue.  I'd like to keep my cost at or around 1200-1500.  I wanted outdoor ceremony/indoor reception, but the city parks have so many limitations on what you can do as far as sound, seating arrangements, etc.  If you have any ideas, I would greatly appreciate the input.  Thanks,

Anyone getting married in Tulsa this summer? Who are you using for transportation after the reception??

This is a long shot but does anyone know any good hair updo/stylists in Tulsa for weddings?  This is where my wedding is but I am not from here so therefore know no stylists. Help!

My work friend who took my engagement pics(in bio) just moved to Tulsa, OK and is offering the first 5 brides there really special low rates(her prices are already very fair!)  There are 2-3 more spots left..let me know if you would like her info and contact information.

Where did you {or do you plan to} get ready for your big day?  How did you get to the ceremony from there?

My name is Aubrey and I get to marry my best friend, Benjamin, on September 12, 2009 in Tulsa, Oklahoma. We met while volunteering at a Christian home for troubled teens. We are having a relatively small wedding, we're expecting roughly 75 people.

The ceremony is at Kirk of the Hills, Benjamin's church. Although their sanctuary is huge and would look odd to have it in such a large place, so we are getting married in the chapel they have there instead so it will be more intimate.

Here is the church:

And the chapel:

The ceremony will be at The Glass Veranda, which is at a country club.

Our colors are chocolate brown, ivory & blush pink.

I get nervous to put pictures of my dress on here! Lol. But it is a beautiful Morilee. It was the first dress I tried on. It is an ivory, strapless, A-line dress with a chapel-length train.

 I want my hair to look like this. I couldn't decide if I wanted it up or down, so decided the half up half down look was ideal for me.

 Our invitations are by Carlson Craft and are called Wrapped in Mocha.

Ben and I have been together for over three fabulous years. We met threw his friend and my step sister. His friend has since passed away. R.I.P. Dave Glen. Ben proposed to me on December 17th. we are now planning our dream wedding which will be on September 5th, 2009 at the Tulsa Historical Society. We are having an outdoor ceremony with an indoor/outdoor reception. We are very excited to get married and soon to start a family!!!

My name is Leighanna (obviusly) and I am hopefully graduating this May from UTD.  My fiance is name Colin, I call him Col. We met through a mutual friend while we were both living in Oklahoma.  He says I had him from the moment I agreed to play ping pong with him...

Col took a job in TV advertising that sent him to NY for 3-4 months.  We had continued to be friends from afar, Col not wanting to interfear if his buddy wanted anymore than a friendship from me...he didn't and I didnt' either.  So one day Col and I started a banter of me coming to see him in NY.  Not thinking I would he continued to call my bluff and I his by agreeing to come.

The last time Col had seen my my hair was down to the middle of my back, I cut it all off and it was like a boy cut. He opened the taxi when I got to his apartment in the Upper West Side of Manhattan.  He did a double take as he didnt' recognize me.

The rest is history as they say.  He left NY and moved back to Dallas and I was still in Tulsa. We did the long distance thing for a while then one day while he was up to see me he looked at me and said, "Darlin' I know that you've been up here in Oklahoma goin to school and experiencing life, but I miss you.  I'm ready for you to come home."

I had a dog that was over the 25lb weight limit that his HOA had set by 20lbs.  So he sold his condo for me and Kalie (the pooch).  He showed up with a UHaul and took all my stuff and I grabbed the dog and followed him home. At least once I looked at Kalie and asked, "What the heck are we doing? We should go back...but he has all my stuff."

He called my dad and asked permission and then asked me to marry him on March 22 of 09.  We planned for a wedding this September but due to my schooling and finances we are going to wait till next year.

My MIL found this site and I hope to get some good advice and make a few online friends.  I am excited about our new life together and I am excited about planning the whole thing.  Hopefully those of you who are saying vows before me can provide me with good advice and what not to do and what to look out for and what to not skimp on.  Congrats to all.

Tim asked me to marry him on Friday night, June 25th.  We had reservations at Bodean's Seafood Restaurant in Tulsa.  We always reserve Friday night as our "eat out" night so we don't have to cook, etc.  But this was a bit unusual, we never go to a place as nice as this.  I told him to pick the place for that night, cause I had picked last time.  When we got there, the place was dark, white linen tablecloths, etc.  We sat in a booth, across from each other.  The waitress was attentive and so far, the wine and appetizer was superb.  Right before dinner came, Tim made the comments that once in a lifetime you fall in love with your soulmate, the person you want to spend the rest of your life with.  I know he said some other things but everything was all of a sudden a blur and then he pulled out the ring and asked me, Beth, will you marry me?  It was the most perfect moment, ever!  After our dinner came, the manager of the restaurant came over and gave us complimentary glasses of champagne and dessert.  It was the most amazing evening!
