Them not providing portfolios of the photographers is WILD 😂
They expect people to pay for in-house photographers, but don‘t even show their work prior to the contract 💀
Insane! Like how do you expect me to sign that contract?!
Whoooot?
That’s beyond criminal because there are so many TERRIBLE wedding photographers out there. Hiding it for a reason.
@@CassieThorpethe additional $25k “sun lounger moving fee” woulda been a NOPE full stop.
Imagine it ends up being some random intern with zero vision and zero fucks to give... I would go to war!
YOU cannot bring in your own photographers?!?!?!?!??!!? I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS EVER. I work in weddings!!!!! This is OUTRAGEOUS
I was so shocked!! 💖
Depends on the venue. They have a concierge set up.
Can be beneficial due to the photographers and videographers being extremely familiar with the location and thus having the knowledge of best photo locations on site - they don't only photograph weddings, they are the same photographers hired for the Superbowl and F1 that also happened in Vegas
I’ve been married for 5 years and have still never worn my dream wedding dress that’s hanging in our closet. We cancelled our wedding 3 times during Covid and just went to the courthouse. I’m praying I’ll at least get to do a photoshoot in my dress one day and his reaction to me in it *sigh*
I hope you get to do that!! 🙌🏽💖
You could throw an anniversary party 🎊 🎉
Same boat here lol covid wedding with 5 people and next year we're planning on doing the religious ceremony + a party lol
Listen I did the same thing my husband and I went to CityHall and it was the BEST DECISION EVA🎊🎊🎊. The Big Wedding was too MUCH😳😳😳
I did the same thing because of Covid. Had a small ceremony with just our parents in March 2020 and got beautiful pictures in my dress and his tux in 2023. I highly recommend doing the photo shoot in your dress! You deserve it ❤
Focus on the marriage, not the wedding day!
Sometimes we become so attached to the dream of something it interferes with the thing that we dreamed of. Congratulations on letting go of the dream to get to the event you dreamed of 🎉🎉🎉!
100%% thank you!! 💖💖
I’m so glad you are over “Vegas marriage” idea. I live in Las Vegas and with all due respect, weddings here are fun and crazy, but not classy and sophisticated. You deserve better.
I was thinking the same, it's not exactly a shock that "sin city" hasn't invested in church architecture
I feel like people who don’t live within an hour flight of Vegas see it as nicer than it is. Vegas weddings may be beautiful inside but once you leave the ceremony. Trashy. Bellagio is the nicest Vegas wedding I’ve been too but it’s still full on cigarette smoke infiltrating your clothes while seniors are mindlessly pushing buttons on slot machines on your way to reception. Just say no to a Vegas wedding. At best it’s 50% elegant and 50% trashy.
Bahaha “so I can have a sepia tone with a vignette…no thank you” 👏🏼🤣 brava well said
🙈😂😂
I've been to a ridiculous amount of weddings. Two of my favorites: one was held in an aquarium. Eating dinner while being watched by a beluga whale three feet away. The other was my BFFs wedding at a children's museum and we were allowed to climb all over kids equipment: the boat, fire truck, pirate ship and hippie bus. It was SO FUN. After the formal stuff was done and it was party time, there's a photo of the bridal party hanging out of all the bus windows and the jewish priest was the driver. There's also video of that photo being taken and during the chaos and laughing, the priest did the sign of the cross🤣
Omg these are the most fun weddings I’ve ever heard of - I’m jealous!! 😂😂
The private ceremony this year is giving Carrie and Big feels with the parents! Can’t wait to see/ hear about it. Trust your gut, we changed our plan too and I cannot tell you enough, how we still look back and are grateful for our pivot. I hope you have those feelings too.
Yes, I think I’ll feel the same way 🤩💖
Just what my husband and I did, courthouse wedding first then had a church wedding few months after. 🎉
🥳🥳🥳
Angelica can be your flower girl for your courthouse ceremony :) She's so adorable!
❤ but she can get scared and run away 😮 since she’s a house cat 🐈
She really is!!
My mantra on my wedding day was, "At the end of today, I'll be married to my favorite person & that's the only thing that matters." It takes a lot of the stress and fixation on small details out of it. I know your day will be perfect, and at the end of it you'll be married to your person. All the best Cassie!
just get married. social media has turned it into a circus. trust me - the dream wedding day is the pinnacle. the rest is life. just get married, if you want to. save the drama and money.
Yes !🎉❤LOVE the pivot! I’m glad you cleared things up because me and the “CassMates” had shoes on and on our way to LV to talk to the Bellagio staff. They need to know who you ARE !!
Oh yes the Vegas wedding… I think I mentioned my husband and I got married at Wynn in the Courtyard - but we eloped so no reception just dinner at Bartolotta in a Cabana. They also made us use their photographers but we were really happy with them. I’m surprised they can’t do big weddings - they have those huge conference areas!
a wedding is so much work the stress is almost inevitable. i lowered mine many years ago by just copying my friends’ templates (with permission!) haha - photographer, flowers, dress designer, etc seriously the guests either don’t remember that it was a copy and paste wedding or they didn’t care. we had a good time, we kept within budget, and we got on with our new lives.
Dahhhhhhling… we had our wedding in my city (Washington DC), 100 guests, parents paid for most of it, and it was STILL stressful AF. Love the idea of keeping it simple and focusing on the important details.❣️
P.S. Nothing prepares you for wedding planning…! Sending you good vibes, tons of patience, and lots of love! 😩🤣
Love your private ceremony this year, very romantic and I love it’s just you two and your parents. 2024 is an amazing year to get married, it’s the year of the Dragon. Can’t wait to see the video and next summer’s!
Thanks so much! 💖💖
Gurl, $25,000 was more than my entire wedding budget! And they want to charge you that much just to MOVE the sun loungers??? Absolutely not! It's becoming more and more common nowadays to get courthouse married with parents and immediate family only and then a big ceremony and reception later. That's what my husband and I did since we got married during COVID. Wishing you the best on planning your wedding with your new ideas!
I planned our outdoor wedding on a napkin in one afternoon. Didn't plan for mother nature to throw a tantrum the entire day up to 40 minutes before the ceremony started though. Needless to say alcohol started being served as soon as the first guest showed up. I cut off the bottom of my custom dress because it was coated in mud and no dry cleaner would have been able to help... Live your best life at your wedding! Make the situation work for you!
Yes!!! Thank you 🙌🏽💖
I am relieved you are not having a wedding in Vegas!!!
Vegas is good for a weekend of bachelorette parties etc...but can't see a classy wedding happening there.
I would love to hear what your mom had to say about a Vegas wedding.
Cassie, it's supposed to be a joyful occasion and planning it should bring only joy to your heart and not stress!
I had a city hall marriage with no regrets. Saved a ton of money and stress. Had a fabulous dinner party to celebrate.
I’m so happy I didn’t use a planner - our day - our vibe - did it all by myself - simple !! One of the bridal cars broke down on the way to the synagogue - the proper vintage one I set my heart on - but ended up going in a vintage convertible white triumph who challenged my vintage Daimler to a race first away from the lights !!! Daimler stalled and wouldn’t budge - best thing that ever happened !!! 31 years later more in love than ever x x x
As someone who had a grand wedding and was stuck with an in-house photographer team, I can tell you it’s my biggest regret. A good photographer can even make the hudson pier look magical. Wishing you all the best with the new plan Cass 🤍
The venue in Vegas added an extra $25, 000 for moving chairs! Insane! I got married ten years ago and had the ceremony, cocktail hour, pictures, dinner all in a hotel. I planned the wedding all by myself and wanted to make easy and cost effective. It was perfect! I didnt have to worry about people getting lost or late going from one place to another. The hotel included fresh flower centerpieces, they used an excellent bakery for our wedding cake. I used my own DJ, my own photographer. I had no complaints and the food was great. As an American I am not offended by your comment about comparing churches in England and in Las Vegas. The churches in England are h7ndreds of years old if not thousands with so much character. Churches in America are a lot newer in comparison and some are more simple. Do whatever works for you and your fiancee in regards to your wedding. ❤ 😊
I had a big destination wedding planned but everything became SO stressful so you know what? We got married in Gretna Green (Anvil Hall) and hired the whole hotel for the reception. A fraction of the cost, a fraction of the stress and we ended up doing a massive west coast USA honeymoon. Which also included a stay at Bellagio (also wasn’t a fan. Do recommend L’ermitage Beverly Hills though!
Wedding planning has been SOOO stressful for me too! But your new plan has inspired me and made me feel much better about the absolute FLEX of a cute courthouse wedding with something larger a year later. Needed this! ❤
My wedding was as low key as possible: civil ceremony, in our home and immediate family only. We’ve been married 30 years and I’m so glad my ceremony was low key: no stress and no fuss. Our daughter has just got engaged and is keen on a low key wedding as well. I think her fiancé would like to make it a bigger event, so they’ll have to find a gappy compromise. I’m sure they will.
GIRL - I got engaged last year. I've been putting my wedding plans on hold after my dream venue fell thru. Our guest list is going to be like 200+ people and the average cost per head is like $250 😂. I've had people I neither talk to nor like come up to me demanding an invitation! I'm seriously considering eloping if it weren't for my parents. My anxious, type A ass cannot deal at the moment. But hang in there! I'm sure your wedding will be absolutely marvelous!
Please do not stress about your wedding, it’s the marriage that matters. I’m from Leeds but we were living in New England when we got married and I arranged the wedding long distance in a pub in North Yorkshire. We only had 75 guests but if I were to do it over I would invite my sisters and a handful of very best friends only and it would be at a registry office. It’s our silver wedding anniversary this year, marriage rocks!
so true. I was so excited (and anxious) on my wedding day that I don't really remember it, unfortunately. We're going to have a re-do for our 20th which is 3 years away. Remember to eat, Cassie!
It’s ur day. Do what u want. I just don’t want u to regret it after the fact. A ceremony after the fact just doesn’t feel like the first time. Think about it.
Hi Cassie, I have worked for one of the top wedding event company in the US….I have never heard such insanity about not being allowed to bring an outside photographer…This is all stuff that planners usually know ahead of time when they present a venue deck to you. All the ins and outs and options.
ABSOLUTELY WILD we ended up with the same wedding plan idea AND toured venues in October!! 😂 I agree that the communication is lacking as far as wedding team consulting with us at all prior to the event, but keep in mind that it IS Las Vegas we're talking about here and they are used to last-minute events. In our contract it specifically states that we arent required to finalize any plans until just 2 weeks prior to the ceremony date!
(We decided on Caesars Palace with a private Villa Reception if anyone was curious)
Hi Cassie, calm down, girl, I am not the pieces, but I am libra, and I think that we are even worse. We love to dream, and that doesn’t happen, it crashes all our world….😳😂 look , the most important thing and I applaud you for that, that you guys still are getting married, this year! That’s what is the most important. Big venue its not so important. Your other half, your dress and closest family, that’s all it’s matter. Spending all that money, just take a trip around the world😜. I got married in Vegas, in October, almost 18 years ago, and yes weather was amazing. And we did very small thing, We could have done huge, but we decided not to…. We might renew wows, upgrade ring , and make it big m this year or so. Have a blessed day🙏❤️
Have hosted multiple big anniversary parties in LV, and had a similar experience with Bellagio and Cosmopolitan (very lackadaisical). You might try Aria--lovely people. Happy to share a name, if you'd like. We didn't need a ceremony spot, but for reception venue and day-after pool party rehab, Aria was amazing.
Sounds like it will all work out for the best- the Vegas wedding wasn’t what you dreamed it would be. Now you can build the real wedding of your dreams. It will find you x
Do NOT stress yourself out over it!! Focus more on the honeymoon in my opinion those are always much needed after so much wedding planning!!
I’m getting married in April in my grandparents’ backyard with under 30 guests. It will be nice but we have not gone crazy with any costs. The wedding will still end up costing around $10k. This stuff ADDS UP!
What’s important love is the marriage relationship. Yes having a nice wedding is icing on the cake but, it’s one day out of the rest of your lives. Try not to stress and enjoy the process💜
We all have our dream wedding. Take your time, plan and choose what you want. The wedding industry is rife with scams. If possible, don't tell the service provider that it's for a wedding. Wish you all the best 😘
Don’t worry, for us perfectionists and planners EVERYTHING is a stress, the most important thing is that you’re both happy, you’re feeling and enjoying it.💕
Exactly 🥹💖
follow your heart Cass! whatever your gut tells you follow it!
Thank you 😭💖
Have a beautiful day. I wanted to get married in the fall in the Poconos at the water fall. We all set until it snowed the morning of our noon wedding. Stress????
It’s happening for a reason - and it will be fabulous! Trust me, been there and had THE wedding in venues I would have never dreamed off. You will too
As long as you are both happy that’s all that matters. Having a Carrie Bradshaw intimate courthouse nuptial and another wedding ceremony sounds wonderful. I want for you to be a blissful bride not stressed out.❤
I am so grateful that when it comes to indulging in the luxuries of consumerism, weddings are one thing idgaf about. It sounds so stressful 😭 my wedding will fabulously be in a courthouse and i have no qualms about it haha 😅
Hello Cassie. Being stressed and trying to be the best is part of the wedding. What I watch is someone who know the meaning of getting marry and still wants to have the best experience/ memories. Your heart is in the right place, only comprised with your future husband and both set of parents. Nobody else matters on these things. If you want the best, go after it.
The best of luck with the 2 ceremonies
Honestly weddings are SO stressful and if this decision makes things better for you and Ni then so glad to hear you’ve done it!
Oh Cassie I totally get that. We looked at doing an extra Vegas wedding as part of our honeymoon and found the process so difficult so many departments and added charges. We ended up doing courthouse and then Barcelona. Everything including invites, room dressing, catering, flowers and drinks even a private nightclub all included. No hidden charges at all and they were amazing even with the language and the contract translation. Good luck and I'm sure it'll be gorgeous
Planning a wedding is just too stressful, we just went to the courthouse. Next we’re planning our traditional wedding (my family is I’m not doing the stress thing) You made the right decision for both of you
I’ve been back on my WB teen shows from the 90s and 2000s lately (currently watching Dawson’s Creek) and your decision to let go of the Vegas wedding reminded me of this quote that was in an episode I just watched:
“If we weren't so afraid to let go we wouldn't feel so free when we finally did.”
I bet though, that this new wedding plan will be even more perfect than you could have envisioned!
What a wonderful quote!! I love that - so happy you shared it! 💖💖💖
Photographers is so so important! The rest is lovely but you won’t remember all the details, it’s the vibe, the people who make it memorable
:) wherever it is, it will be perfect because everyone will be there to celebrate the two of you 🎉
I planned for a whole year and when the day finally came, I realized it’s about the people you love and love you around you. Not where you are . And trust me, the day goes by so quick it’s crazy.
Cassie!!! Please do you but holy crap this sounds so stressful. Also not surprised by Vegas’ energy and their lack of flexibility. I’m confident it will all work out so beautifully ✨
Good on you, such a massive process and now you know what is the reality verses what you expected. You can move forward to have the experience you want and truely know how to make it happen. But gosh, such twattery from the Vegas mob. So glad you called them out on it. And yes, family first.
crazy that they would cost so much and expect you to only hire their photographer! im glad youve found a better solution
That was very interesting as I’ve only had a church wedding. Thank you for sharing.
I feel all of your frustration and couldn’t agree more. I’m a Civil Ceremony Cutie over here. Planning my City Hall wedding because I can’t be bothered with all the foolishness.
Oh Cassie-keep your sanity! This video gave me the giggles not at you but at having much of the same sentiments of heading to court and not stressing myself-after having recently visited Vegas for a wedding (some one else’s)-inside one of cardboard boxes-lol-As a native NYer understood the expectations for what a “church” is…said all that to say I had a ceremony intimate less than 50-then went to dinner with my family after and had a blast!! Whatever you decide-wishing you the best!!
This is the stuff no one tells you about when you are getting married. lol I feel you girl! Just take your time and listen to your gut. Once you have the venue chosen it's all downhill from there. :)
Beyond exhausted listening to this 😮. Just go off by yourselves. 🎉❤
Got married at the Vegas courthouse on a whim during a weekend trip in t-shirts, jeans, & tennis shoes 23 yrs ago this month. 6 yrs later to the date & day we had a small intimate traditional Catholic wedding & small reception, even the small gathering brought about unnecessary drama! We almost cancelled it 😂 Hang in there ❤️
We had a teeny tiny wedding in Vegas. Best decision ever. Everyone had a blast. We used their photographer and they were great. We even had a pianist 🤣. We don't ever look back on that day. It was great but we always look forward.
A wedding is a day, a marriage is forever. Keep things simple, and have fun. I don't ever think of my wedding day because we have had so many other amazing moments like our first child that makes that day seem mid.
Best of luck - but just do it. Your guest are just there to party and get free food. The only people that really care are immediate family and really close friends.
My husband and I had two 'weddings:' the first in the local Health Centre (for some reason, this is where the Civil Records folks are based, here in the Irish Midlands) with two friends as our witnesses, and then dinner and drinks around town. It was a lovely warm day and very 'us!'
Our second wedding was a few months later (when my family members could come over from the States) with a ceremony in the castle where we met, stopping off in a pub, and then dinner at another castle. The next day, we had a rock band in our backyard and a casual party. Totally worth it, felt personal, and far cheaper than a standard hotel/country club gig (which can be nice, but it wasn't right for us).
ITS ALL GOOD! it will be awesome... 💌
Wedding planning is so stressful. We are celebrating our 16th Anniversary in April and if I had to do it all over again I would be right at the courthouse! Good luck with your new plans and technically it sounds like you are still a 2024 bride🥰
I’m planning my wedding now and can so relate! I wanted to get married in Vegas so badly and it just turned into complication after complication. We went with something totally different in the end and I’m so much happier now with how the planning is going!
The stress of the Planning should not take away from the Joy of the Day❣️. But I know it happens often….I think you are right …it was not meant to be a Vegas wedding…..In my head it sounds like a great idea too….but Really!
Words I didn’t expect to hear in this video: car drop off and sprinter van. Yeah as soon as those came out I was like Vegas is not a go. Lol
The car drop off killed me - imagine having to wait for an airport shuttle to drop off before making your entrance 😭😂
So excited for you, Cassie! Even with these changes and the delay, it feels like you’re on the home stretch.
I actually think you will love the intimacy with just your fiancé and your parents at the courthouse , and you may opt out of doing anything at all.
I eloped in 2021 in Maui, and it was the best decision ever. I did hire a photographer and a videographer to capture the moment and I sent out an announcement (with pics) to all of the people who I would have invited to the wedding if I had one. No headaches and stayed within my budget. Best decision ever.
I dreamed of a elegant quaint wedding. that didn't happen for me either. you're right between planning and the sheer amount of money involved it just wasn't in the cards for me 😥 coming out of a pandemic lockdown where we were surviving literally on barely anything. there was no way we could financially make it happen how I envisioned. so... me and my husband opted for an ordained minister to do our exchanging of vowels and signing our marriage certificate along with my mother and my husband's father as our witnesses. we got married in the comfort our own home😁💙 2-22-2022
Good for you !! Planning a wedding is not easy. Do what feels right to you two!! My husband and I did the courthouse and for us it was the best decision we made. I still had the black dress I wanted to wear and still had the flowers as my mom surprised me with a black and white rose bouquet and she did get us a cake for afterwards. We went and had brunch with our families and it was great. Everything will turn out just the way you want it 😊. Great video.
Oh sweetie I totally understand. I just had my 7 year anniversary and thinking back it was so much stress and money . If we could have to do over I’d go private close small and a big ceremony . My daughter had the most beautiful wedding out doors with lights in trees and flowers and plenty room for everyone and reception and a band . And they were in control of who they wanted for photography. I’m sure once you do your own way it will be most beautiful and memorable ❤❤❤❤
Bless you. Wedding stress is horrible. ❤
Cassie your wedding will be beautiful anywhere.
I think courthouse this year will be perfect. Less pressure for the big party.
Be aware of post wedding blues (all the hype for the big day and then it’s over).
Don’t forget to plan a nice honeymoon vacation.
Best of luck my friend and hope the Wedding Fairy helps you out…I know it will be awesome and it will reflect you and Nii.
We did a Phuket Destination Wedding, with hen and stag in Bangkok. The hotels there provide a free wedding planner and you’re just picking flowers and decor and they do the rest. We got a $100,000 US wedding for less than a tenth of the cost in Phuket
It's normal to get planning fatigue on a wedding. Just do what is best for you both but also don't decide on something you'll regret not having done for yourselves. I know, catch 22.
Ma'am, I'm sick and you have me tearing up! Like this is not supposed to be this funny! 🤣🤣
I went with Love Bug Weddings and got married in the Valley of Fire. About 1 hrs 15 mins from vegas. Kind of looks like the grand canyon without the 6 hour car ride. Best day of my life xxx
take a page from the pandemic book. have a small ceremony and then a big party separately. less stress..you're already married at the party and in your case more excuses to wear more outfits :)
Oh I completely understand!!! Follow your heart ❤️ as we had everything planned and I was getting stressed 🤬😫 out! Everything was just falling apart and I was TIRED. My ♓️ hubby surprised me one morning and said let’s go get married NOW which I thought he was joking! 😮…guess what we did 😂 at the courthouse and it was a relief! He knew how much I was stressed and wanted me to be happy. Do what is best for you and your mental health 🤗!
Omggg what an angel man! 😭🥹💖
@@CassieThorpe you Pisces ♓️ are the best ❤️!!! You can move to the beat of your own drum 🥁 and don’t worry about what others think!
Thanks for sharing! So happy you have your dress and we can’t wait to see it. I agree with Mom on Angelica as you know 😊❤🍾🥂😘
I understand how you feel. I was so annoyed that we ended up eloping and that was 16 years ago. That money went towards a house instead 😊. Do what’s best for you
Cassie you’re going to be amazing. You’re the princess and you don’t need to stress about these. Think of Cinderella or any of the original Disney princesses on their “happily ever after” they just live their best day in their best gown and not a care in the world.
Been married almost 5 years. I had a venue and a dress and the price of things just kept going up so I made my wedding a destination wedding and had a blast with 50 of our closest family and friends. It was a blast. I felt a lot less stressed and it was so beautiful to marry my best friend.
It’s ALWAYS complicated!!!! Glad you are open to new ideas and venues! I am positive that in the end it will be THE MOST FABULOUS AND EXCITING WEDDING!!!! I couldn’t imagine anything you do to be otherwise!!! Take your time and a deep breath…!🥰🩷💞
Get married before your wedding. Made my wedding amazing.
I was married on Microsoft Teams during Covid and had a very opulent Vegas wedding at the Encore. It was freaking amazing. Only had to deal with one team for everything. Also FYI winds in Vegas are INSANE in October. We planned outside reception with an inside bit for dinner but everything had to be inside because of the wind.
Just quietly get married and plan your wedding party. :)
Do whatever makes the day happy for the both you. ❤😊 promise you will not regret it.
sometimes it is just as important to explore plans to find out what you don't want to do! Sending you positive wedding vibes for your future plans 💖
Vegas local here. While Vegas is famous for its weddings, it’s not famous for its classy weddings. Unless you know someone and rent their mansion it’s hard to get a classy wedding in Vegas. My high school prom was held in one of these mansions. I think it was the heartland mansion. But there is also Liberace’s mansion. And you know that will hold the number of people you need cause senior class sizes are in the hundreds here. However; you could still do your bachelorette and bachelor party here. I use to work for a party planning company for these types of events so if you choose to do that, let me know, I’ll connect you with the owner. This way you get a little bit of your Vegas dream without the hassle of the wedding part. Just good memories with your favorite people!
I’m a 2024 bride too and although everything has been organised and is ready to go, I’m a bit over the planning process also, but that’s mainly because I was content have a very modest wedding but I’m the only child and my husbands the eldest son, so felt a little more pressure to have a traditional wedding. I’m sure your special day will be amazing and worth the wait ❤️
I have been married for 35 years! Relax and make your day exactly what you want not some hotel nuts telling you what to do! The pictures are a key part of your memories!!! Girl, you do you! We all love you here❤
I just want you to have a beautiful day. When I got married, I let my mom plan it. It wasn't my first choice but she had great taste, I knew it would be fabulous and fancy, and she really wanted to do it. On the day, I was overwhelmed. Everything from flowers to the food to music was incredible. She made me a wedding for a princess. Whatever your dream is, I am excited for you to get it.
My wife and I officially got married by the Justice of the Peace (turned out they were located at the city prison so that was an adventure) then we got "married" in the Caribbean at a beautiful all-inclusive resort (just the two of us). We came back home and a few weeks later had a big party for all our family and friends. We did that up in grand style..my family heritage is Scottish and hers is Irish so I wore a Prince Charlie kilt outfit and she wore her wedding dress. We arrived at the venue by horse-drawn carriage as a bagpiper led the way through the city streets to the location. My wife said she felt like a princess because let's be honest, if you're in the city center and a horse-drawn carriage goes rolling by with a bagpiper...you gonna look. It was great because we feel like we got the best of everything and no one felt left out of the celebration.
It’s one day - relax and enjoy it and have fun
Cassie, I love the idea of a Vegas wedding - but I had no idea about all these hiccups! I usually stay at Wynn and encore. I visited the encore spa and was surprised to find out that the spa sometimes hosts weddings (it’s really nice!). No idea how it works. But thought I’d throw that idea out there.
Darling Ca$$ie sometimes when things are falling apart they are really falling into place 💕 So happy you have simplified your wedding plans😊 Don’t forget to enjoy your wedding day 🥰
Well, at least you have another year to plan. Don't let it get to you. It will all work out, you'll see. Take it easy. (Jan Griffiths).
