I’m pretty happy with how it turned out... as for whether people actually liked the dessert, I won't even get into it, they just absolutely demolished the whole thing...
Henry Thompson5 said:Right... I could definitely use some bluegrass musicians. Send the info to my inbox.
Thanks...🙂🙂
Henry Thompson5 said:My guys are a Bravo band... they aren't folk musicians. They play just about everything except the traditional stuff. Since my fiancé is a rocker at heart, why would we want anything else?
Kimberly Kern2 said:Don't even mention it! It’s great to see some people from the Midwest around here, and don't even get me started on all those folks from shipyards back home.😍
I'll shoot you a DM later; I need to check with my mom, 😂, because I honestly can't remember what we ended up paying. Once I touch base with her, I'll let you know.
Anyway, I'll tell you this: I used to absolutely loathe those cheap pop-up tents, but honestly, you have to set them up just to deal with the weather. You never know when a storm is going to roll in out of nowhere. But looking at this setup? I was actually pleasantly surprised. It's actually going to make the backyard look way better, especially with that pavilion 😍
blah, blah, blah 😂
Anyway, I'll hit you up in your inbox later...

William Nguyen8, hey, take a look at this—and listen, if it’s not too much trouble or too far out of the way for your folks out in the Midwest, maybe check it out. Honestly, if I were back home right now, I’d just buy them myself and ship them straight to you.
Looking at the wedding packages over at Trim—honestly, it’s just one more thing to add to the endless checklist of ways people throw money away these days. They’ve got their whole suite of services laid out there, ranging from basic setups to the full-blown, "we want everything" luxury deals. It covers all the usual suspects: catering, decor, venue coordination, you name it. It’s pretty much the standard playbook for any high-end American wedding planner trying to convince a couple that they absolutely *need* a designer floral arrangement just to sit in a room for four hours. If you're looking for a way to turn a single day into a massive financial sinkhole, I guess this is a great roadmap. But if you actually look at the breakdown, it’s mostly just different tiers of how much you're willing to pay to feel like you're having a "special" moment. Some of it is useful, sure—planning is a nightmare—but let's be real: most of these "all-inclusive" promises are just clever ways to bundle costs so you don't realize how much the total is creeping up until the invoice hits your inbox.
I really hope you can somehow pull it off—find a way to make all those pieces fit together somehow.

William Nguyen8 said:I found some cookie boxes for gifting. They're from a local wholesaler—super cheap... ($0.83 per 👍). They're just plain white, but I’m thinking about adding little bows to them to dress them up... Seems worth it, right?🙂
Now I just need to track down some serving trays...😢
Kimberly Kern2 said:The band goes by "Svirci." Honestly? They were absolute legends at those Midwest weddings I went to back in the day. They really know how to set a mood. But hey, don't just take my word for it—go ask around and see what everyone else thinks.
I honestly have no clue when you’re actually pulling the trigger on the wedding, but trust me on this one—you need to get those reservations locked in way sooner rather than later.
Look, just give it some serious thought. If you decide you actually want to go through with this, I'll see what I can do about tracking down that number for you. No pressure, just think it over.😉
feralmoose32 said:We’re going to have to aim for something along these lines—and honestly, that would be the absolute best-case scenario... I don't even want to dwell on what happens if things go sideways... if it turns out looking truly terrible, I'll just have to ask the photographer to blur her out 🤣
