| Hhhmmm our DJ is an MC so we didn't have to worry about that so much.... ask your DJ, maybe he/she is an MC. Ive usually seen the DJ do it at most weddings since they are already kind of center of attention and have the setup, sound, microphone, etc... sometimes it's more stress than it's worth hiring someone professional to do it. Find a cool DJ, that does not have a store front but has all the professional equipment. They do it much much cheaper. Our DJ is $700, he's an MC and he'll be there 2 hours before the ceremony to set up, the whole ceremony & reception and is available for $75 an hour after the allotted time if we kept the hall longer (the hall is not available though)... he sets up and breaks down on his own time. He's been doing it over 20 years. The guy is great and does all his marketing word of mouth, so with that and no store front, he is able to beat the competition price-wise all the time! I am not having ushers for my wedding. The girls are walking down solo I think and the groomsmen are my fiances 2 sons (18 & 15) and they will probably stand up at the alter with him the whole time. We are having no kids under 12 at our wedding either. My mom is going to man the card box and put it in a car or our hotel room after the ceremony. I was engaged 7 years ago. And the mothers (mine & his) seemed to think they had a LOT of say in the wedding plans then too. This time around my mom lives 2500 miles away and does not have any say with not being here and his parents are just not like that. Everything for this wedding is all his & mine for ideas! I love it because i'm doing everything my way! Makes things much much easier/better!

| WOW! How beautiful!!!!! The bridesmaid dresses would be perfect for even after the wedding, they could have them cut and hemmed to be shorter and wear them out in the summer, on cruises, as guests to other weddings. They are really pretty! Your gown is gorgeous!!! I can't wait to see pics!

My bridesmaid dresses are awesome and are so flattering! They are perfect for an evening fall wedding. I love long dresses (wear them more often than not to weddings). So my girls knew they would be wearing long. I do think when they say they love their bridesmaid dresses they mean it. And that is a great idea to shorten the hemline. I seriously might purchase one...lol!

| Here are my bridesmaid dresses, except in teal with a black belt, and we've ordered them without the flowers. Impression_20023.jpg And here is our church for the ceremony. It is surprisingly not much more expensive than other churches we were looking at! This one is a very old cathedral overlooking the river. The price includes an organist to play on the old pipe organ and I think it will be beautiful! It has always been my dream to get married in this church. At night it is all lit up on the skyline and I am just in love with it! Interesting fact... this is where the Queen and other members of the royal family worship when they visit the city. 12400_Large.jpg cutcaster-photo-800981409-Cathedral-of-St-John-the-Evangelist.jpg

| Linz, your bridesmaid dresses are very lovely. I wish I could wear a dress like that, but whoa... Im way too heavy & old for that! LOL Your church is gorgeous!!!! I want to see pics of it all lit up, I bet its amazing looking! My ceremony is in the same place as my reception. Not a church either... its my fiance's 2nd marriage, so we can't do the church thing even if we wanted to.

I'll attach a picture from the website of it lit up at night We toyed with the option of doing the ceremony in the same place as our reception too, and that's what we would do if the few churches we liked were already booked. Are you guys doing pre cana classes?

I am obsessed with old churches too! This one was actually in competition with one more old stone church in an older residential area of town. It reminded me of the old English countryside churches we visited last summer when we traced my family's history there. I was in the churches my ancestors were married in and I thought it would be cool to do something similar for our wedding. We had booked this cathedral and then decided to go back and see if the other one was still available instead. But, it was booked so we stuck with the cathedral! But everything happens for a reason and I'm glad we're getting married in the cathedral anyway!

| My ceremony is at St. Cecilia's Parish in Boston. It was establised in 1888 so there is a lot of history and beautiful artchitecture. I really wanted to get married in an old beautiful church. Here is a picture of the inside. CeciliaInterior.jpg

I think part of the reason I am obsessed with old churches is because when we got engaged in Italy we visited a lot of beautiful churches...and they were amazing! I love cathedral churches...you are going to have an amazing walk down that isle!!
