Just when I thought the photobooth couldn't get any better....

This gem of an email made its way into my inbox yesterday:

Hello Colleen,

I hope this email finds you well and getting excited for your Wedding!

I just wanted to take a moment to let you know that we are currently offering a Special Wireless LED Lighting Package for our Photo Booth Clients.  Couples may add our Wireless LED Lighting Wedding Package, which includes 10 lighting units, for $600.  This package features the availability to choose from a variety of colors.  This Package typically costs $1,000 but is currently available as a Photo Booth Package Add-on for $600 for a limited time.  If this is of interest or if you have any questions, please let me know.

Thank You!


Sincerely,

Scott Marshall

Seacoast Events is proud to announce that our Photo Booth Services have been rated by local brides and voted The Knot Best of Weddings 2011 Pick!

I am sold! In my mind this add-on is going to create a lazer backdrop like my 2nd grade school photo.... I mean for a mere $600 who can deny anyone, especially a bride, the joy of having such an important day caputured with a lazer lightshow background?!

Kickass....

Cupcakes!

We have tried a few different types of cupcakes at this point.... some were ehh, some were meh and some were overwhelming.

Enter Kickass Cupcakes after hearing how much Jessica loved their cupcakes I figured we may as well travel to Somerville and give them a taste! The shop is tiny and was packed but we were still running on the high of finally buying a car, a redbull and half an english muffin each so we were willing to wait it out and so glad we did! We tried a few different flavors that each got better and better! The best comment from Corey "Yup, this is the one - those other ones tasted like Crisco" We picked three flavors but everyone will have to wait in anticipation to find out which three, leaving one open spot just in case they come out with an awesome seasonal flavor!

Considering that we are planning a five course meal for the wedding everyone better save room for the cupcakes, I promise they will be worth it!

Engagement Shoot - C-Town Style

Well we finally made it to the engagement shoot! I was on a mission - nothing was going to stop me not the sort of crappy weather or Corey's newly "trimmed" hair courtesy of Gangster Cuts.... picture this string of text messages:

Corey: Take the m lites out of the freezer
Colleen: Obv I already did but thanks for the order, a please would have been nice
Corey: Can you "please" bring a m lite down to gansta cuts?
Colleen: No, can you "please" come home and watch a movie with me?
Corey: Nevermind the nice lady just gave me some booze
Colleen: She is trying to roofie you
Corey: Arbor mist, I think

There should have been no doubt in my mind that this haircut was not going to come out how I wanted!

We wake up on Saturday and the weather is not any nicer and Corey's hair wasn't any longer but I think we rocked out the engagement session! Corey was determined to get an Awkward Family Photo and I tripped over my own feet at least three times, yup, the photographer is wondering what he got himself into!

Everyone will have to wait 2-3 weeks for the proofs but I bet they will be worth the wait!

The Royal Wedding vs. My Big Fat Boston Wedding

A. I would LOVE to have Kate's 2nd McQueen gown
B. I would love even more to have her lack of armpit fat!

Pomp and circumstance aside there were three Bs that make up the main differences between My Big Fat Boston Wedding and the Royal Wedding:

Budget - I think the monarchy might have had a slightly bigger budget going into this event but who knows!

Bridesmaids - Mine will all be over the age of 21 and hopefully will not make any faces that scream "I am so bored and I don't want to be on this balcony any longer"

Beer - My Big Fat Boston Wedding will be serving beer.... and champagne and wine and liquor - we aim to please all!

When it comes to what I hope My Big Fat Boston Wedding and The Royal Wedding have in common I have only one word.... Facinators! I am thinking maybe we get the bridesmaids orange ones to coordinate with the groomsmens ties....
