GOOD NEWS!!!!!
We have the date set! April 10, 2009 at 7pm is when Brian and I will get hitched....and when the party will begin!!! We are so excited. It will be at the Flamingo's Lagoon Pool. Cross your fingers for awesome weather! The sun sets that day at 7:11pm, so I'm going to see if we can get some tiki torches up or something.
To see a virtual tool of the wedding venue and hotel, go to the following website. There is a "virtual tour" link on the left hand side of the page. Then click on amenities, and you can click on the camera icon next to the Lagoon Pool & Waterfalls. Yay!

Also, I have the engagement announcement made and it's almost ready to print. Hopefully I'll get those out within the next week or so!
One more thing...for those that don't already know, I changed my MCAT date to May 23rd of this year. I needed more study time! Still going to get that 33 though. That surely has not changed!

Too cold in March??
Hey ya'll, just wondering if anyone thinks it will be too cold for an outside wedding in March. Brian's parents said they went a few years ago at the end of March and it was cold and windy!! Any ideas/suggestions?

Booking the Flamingo
So, I just got word that we can book the Flamingo for the ceremony at any time. Here is what the word is:
March is tricky. If the weather is nice the hotel opens the pool and you could have swimmers at your wedding. Keep it in early March to be safe, but if you really want to do it later you could have the ceremony 5pm or later so you won’t have any swimmers (or very few). So I would say the last daytime Friday March wedding would be on the 13th or maybe the 20th. We can begin booking the wedding whenever you are ready!
I don't think I would mind some swimmers- but an evening wedding might look cool. However, it will be in March and the temps might not be too high...
What do you all think?

OK people, lets start finalizing something!
So...I think we are changing our minds on the whole reception bit. After looking at all costs, a full on reception is going to be quite expensive in Vegas. And since we already made the decision to have the ceremony at the Flamingo's pool (which is the most expensive location), we need to find a way to stay within our budget and still feed people!
We've decided to have the reception at the Flamingo buffet (if they will let us -- I still have to call on Monday and see if a reservation for 50-60 people is possible). We will pay for everyone's food and drinks and still have some $$ left for hotel rooms! Yay, its magical!
Anyway, we feel pretty good. I think we have quite a good handle on things! Let me know if you have any suggestions...we haven't booked anything yet!! :-)
Oh, and for those that don't know...I am taking the MCAT on April 5, and my goal score is a 33. This is above average and should put me in the competitive category for med school admission. If ya'll wouldn't mind...just have the number 33 floating around in your head and every once in a while, go ahead and give it a shout out for me. Tell that number that I will see it soon. Very soon....and that it should probably be afraid. :-)
