I got such a great response from this post about Storymix Media. If any of you end up using them for your wedding, please let me know! I'd love to hear other bride's experiences with this amazing service!

Saturday I had another wedding nightmare!! In it, everything that could possibly go wrong..did. I was self conscious in my wedding dress so I wore a black cardigan over it the whole night. (Klassy) Everyone in our band got sick, so they had to bring in another band who "happened" to be free that night (read: they were awful) and they only played African tribal music and top  R and B hits of today. While that music is certainly cool, it wasn't exactly what we had in mind. They messed up the father/daughter dance and just as it was ending, stopped entirely and asked if they could "try it again one more time from the top, and would I mind counting them in?" I looked at them and said "No..I think we're done here"

I forgot to set up a shuttle service, so everyone was stranded at our reception and didn't know how they were getting home. (Nevermind how they got there in the first place). I never got the Out-of-Town Gift bags together and didn't remember about them until half-way through the reception. My friends were so bored, I found them upstairs in the cocktail hour room hanging out bored out of their minds and not even at the reception!!!

It was the type of nightmare that I could only just laugh about when I woke up on Sunday because it was just so over-the-top terrible. Luckily, I was getting up early that day so I could go get supplies for our Out-of-town bags with Chris' mom, so I KNOW that they are being taken care of!

We went to Costco and piled our cart up with various "out-of-town bag" worthy items like bags of cookies, chips, candy, granola bars and water bottles. I'm not going to actually assemble the bags until much closer to the date because I don't want 40 made-up gift bags sitting around for 2 months collecting dust, but it feels good to have the bulk of the items purchased.

Have a great weekend! I can't wait to tell you about my night last night!
