My wife and I were married on October 10, 2009. Do your future wife a favor and hire a wedding planner; it will be the best money you spent, and very affordable. Kristin did a great job with my bride with the planning, and then seeing it all through to the event. Kristin knows many vendors and knows which will fit your event and budget. She'll handle all of the contacts, and if you are not satified with the terms of a particular vendor she will either get you better terms or shop around until you are satisfied. We will both very satisfied with our wedding day, and Kristin's efforts and results were fantastic!
