I haven't really given that much thought yet 😬
The idea that they have to pay for seating too.
How many guests are you expecting?

Kenneth Vaughn10 said:I honestly have no clue if they were busy—I didn't even bother calling them. I heard that Krijan doesn't usually play that cheesy wedding music, but apparently, if someone specifically requests it and pays extra, they’ll play nothing else as long as the money keeps coming in. I don't know, maybe it's just how things work, but I don't think it's right. I mean, I'm the one paying them, so I should be able to tell them what to play!

That's just not true.
I’ve personally been to a couple of weddings where they played absolutely everything. And those were weddings with plenty of Canadians in attendance, so you can imagine exactly what kind of requests were being made.

Kenneth Vaughn10 said:Yeah, though I'm thinking we'll probably have a DJ. I managed to snag some numbers for DJs from a station in Indianapolis or maybe Richmond—I'll reach out to them next week. We'll have a trio of folk musicians playing at the house, and then a DJ over at the restaurant.

Were Maher and Krijan already booked up?
Or did you just not want them?

I’d highly recommend booking your music as soon as possible.
We reached out to Krijan back in October for a July date the following year, and he was already fully booked—so you definitely want to stay ahead of the game.
You still have some breathing room until September, and since September isn't quite as peak wedding season as July or August, you might have a little more luck if you move quickly.

She tried to convince me it wasn't that great and that whipped cream would be a better bet.
Has anyone actually tried it?

We definitely had that on a cake once. 😕
It’s delicious—honestly, way better than plain whipped cream.
If you want it, don't let someone talk you out of it just because it's easier for them to make something else. 😘
I actually looked it up online; you can order it from some specialty shops, and I even found a recipe to make it from scratch.

We actually wanted Krijan, so we had a reservation set aside quite a while ago. He was actually the one who suggested we look into Maher. I'll try to track down their business card and number, but if I can't, I'll just give you the contact info from Glamour so you can call them and ask for Krijan's number directly.

If you're looking for a wedding dress, I’d suggest checking out places in Boston. It's much more budget-friendly there.
As for a venue, it really depends on your guest count, but we held our reception at a local restaurant and absolutely loved it.
Just a heads-up: they tend to book up pretty far in advance.
For flowers, I highly recommend Palm over on Stamper Street.
For the little details like favors, invites, and thank-you notes, head over to Glamour at the local market.
If you're hunting for a band, I could try to track down the number for the group that played at our wedding.
There are plenty of photo studios in Richmond; honestly, your best bet is to just visit a few and see their work. I'm sure the pricing is pretty much the same everywhere.

I can have it delivered to you if you're coming through Speyer. Otherwise, I'll just ship it out to you in NYC 😁

northernhawk87, those fatty sausages are best if you just make them yourself. It’s quick and honestly isn't even that hard.
Plus, buying pre-made ones is way too expensive around here—I used to pay about a buck or two a piece.
I actually used to get them at wholesale prices through a friend of mine.

My granddad starts every single morning with a little pour from his homemade bourbon bottle.😁
But honestly, he never sees a doctor, and he never complains about a thing.
No heart issues, blood pressure problems, or any of that stuff that usually hits you as you get older.
Even at 72, the guy still looks like he’s in his prime.

Did you see how the "king" is just kicking back?

Word on the street is she scored a million bucks just for that interview.
