Classic Tuxedo is located in Winchester, VA.

Our experience with them was mostly pleasant. The outcome of our orders were very nice.

My only word of advice is that you know what you want before you go in there, unless you just don't care. In our experience one salesman in particular tried talking us out of a few things and pushing something else on us.

It all worked out the way we wanted in the end, I would go there again if we ever needed to rent again.

My Husband and I flew to Orlando, FL for our Honeymoon. It was a lovely trip, the weather report looked to be a little dreary but it proved to be very wrong, isn't it always!

We stayed at the Marriott Grande Vista right down the road from Sea World off of International Drive. Our suite was on the top(6th) floor overlooking the gorgeous lake.

Orlando is a great place to go, usually cheap to get there and you don't have to go far at all for entertainment of any kind.

Basically drive up and down International Drive and you could stay busy for several weeks!

Restaurants we ate at:

Ming Court - excellent Chinese and Sushi!
Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. - Wonderful service and amazing shrimp
Cheesecake Factory - AWESOME FOOD!!!!!!!
P.F. Changs - GREAT Chinese food. (perfect for people with a gluten allergy the have a menu just for us!)

I went to Donna at main Attraction for my wedding "do" consult. She did a great job in explaining what she would do to my hair and then demonstrated.

I set up an appointment for myself and my 3 bridesmaids for the morning of the wedding.

When I got there early Saturday morning her assistant came out and asked if I'd like some coffee or water. Then took me to the back to have my hair washed and a scalp massage.

She then offered to give me a hand massage and paraffin wax treatment for my hands.

Let me tell you the coffee in combination with the head/hand massage and paraffin treatment was VERY relaxing. It was exactly what I needed after only getting an hour of sleep the night before!!\

Donn's up-do was amazing, it lasted through putting my dress on, dancing, partying and into the evening.

My 3 bridesmaids also looked amazing, thanks to the staff at Mane Attraction.

Fabulous!!!

We picked out our own special song and they were able to choreograph a dance for us easily. For me with 2 left feet I was horrified at what it might look like. But I was determined to have a dance with my husband at our wedding.

Thank God for Kevin and Tara!!

They broke down each of the steps and were able to teach us the dance in 5 weeks!!!!

Our wedding attendants were in tears and thought we had been dancing for years.... if only they knew!!

Graig and Kathleen Ernst of Front Royal, VA own Renaissance Catering.

Fabulous!!! Delicious!!!! VERY helpful!!!!!

They are known for his creations with fruit and veggies and such. So if you wanted something as plain as sandwiches for example(like I did) they turned it into a work of art, a tasty work of art at that!!

"Cakes By Ruth" - Ruth Wahl of Browntown, VA...... DELICIOUS :)

I was having a little dilemma when it came to choosing my cake! I knew exactly what I wanted it to look like, and my husband new what HE wanted it to taste like, lol...

I on the other hand have a few issues! FOOD ALLERGIES!!!!!

Wheat, Dairy, Eggs, Mac. Nuts, & Grapes. Try making a cake with THAT!!

She came up with a little side cake for me that no one could see except for the groom and I, so that he could feed me that and I could feed him a slice from the "real" cake.

I'm used to what people call icky food, this was out of this world!!! Even my hubby liked it with his very picky sugar needs, lol.

The cake was gorgeous and tasted amazing.

My mother and I walked into the store of David's Bridal in Springfield, Va one day in hopes of finding the perfect dresses for my 3 bridesmaids. The thing that concerned me the most was that my 3 dear friends were all shaped very differently and I didn't want them to feel uncomfortable with what I selected. I was about ready to choose a color and let them select their own style dress to best fit their shape and style.....

When you walk into the door of David's Bridal it is VERY overwhelming!! Fortunately they greet you quickly and get you signed in. They gave me my very own personal assistant, Jedda. Which was wonderful, her sense of humor put me at ease and made me able to focus on what it was that I really wanted.

Her experiences with wedding planning proved to be very useful for me, especially when I told her my thoughts on letting the girls pick out their own dresses!

She told me that in the past when brides have done such, they learn quickly as to what their friends taste in clothing is really like. Sometimes even ill fit clothing was chosen, and the entire guest list was to stare at THEM during the service! I don't think so!!

So I decided on a tea length A-shaped dress, with 2 different neck lines, that was VERY flattering on all 3.

My thanks to Jedda, she made it VERY enjoyable and easy!!

Mimi the owner of Debbie's Ivy Garden is located in Front Royal, Va on main St.
I went to her and her assistant Kelly for help with my flowers for our special day.
I had a vague idea of what it was that I wanted but was unsure of the names of the flowers that would best suite my wedding. I brought to them my "clover green" and "canary yellow" fabric swatches and told them what I was imagining for the wedding. Within a short period of time they were able to help me along with my decisions, offering me very useful tips. The flowers looked wonderful!!! It totally finished off the wedding and made it very classy. I would highly recommend them!!!
