October 17, 2009 - Crazy, Hectic Start

Picture
So despite going to bed at 2:30 am, I was able to wake up at 5:30 without the alarm.  My mom was already preparing breakfast so I ate for a little bit.  Lori and her assistant came around 7 am and set up at the other suite where it was less crowded.  They finished with me and my sister around 9:15 am.  I quickly got into my dress while my photographer took pics cuz I wanted us to head to Wynn at 9:30.  I kept getting calls from everyone - my fiance, my friends, the limo driver, etc.  It was hectic.  I was getting annoyed at my fiance cuz he kept asking me what he needs to do even though I had already given him a copy of the timeline a couple of days before.

I hired a bus shuttle from Lucky Limo to pick up guests and take them to Wynn.  They arrived early at 9:10 even though our appointment was at 9:30.  All my friends and family that were staying at Wyndham was able to get on the bus at 9:45.  From there, they were to pick up guests at Luxor, MGM, Treasure Island, then Hilton, with final drop off at Wynn.  I was worried that they would finish late but it turned out perfect cuz they arrived at Wynn at 10:45.

I went on the minivan with my parents, sister, flower girls, brother, and photographer to head to Wynn around 9:45.  My in-laws were staying at Wynn so I told my fiance to get ready at his parents' room.  My future sis-in-law met us in the lobby so she can pick up our photographer.  I also asked her to give me the luggage where I packed everything we needed for the ceremony. 

So as our photographer took pictures of fiance getting ready, my family and I went to the Wedding Salons.  I got there around 10:15 am and they let me in early.  My wedding coordinator was Mildred and her assistant was Saundra.  They both did a great job.  The flower petals on the aisle matched with my flower girl dresses perfectly, the garden was beautiful.  Rev. Henney also came by to clear up some details about the ceremony format.
