Your garden looks gorgeous, you have obviously worked hard on it and know what you are doing.<BR/><BR/>I have to agree with Carolyn on the wedding photographer. We paid for our wedding ourselves, and could either afford a photographer or an 8 piece blues band for the evening. We went for the band and neither of us like discos, and we had loads of friends who were 'into photography'. I don't regret having the band at all, but I would have loved some really good photos of us and our families.<BR/><BR/>The cost of wedding these days is scary. Ours was done on a shoestring but really didn't feel like it on the day as everyone had a good time.Debra in Francehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15043535993839224545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2556649857259211758.post-71911521183109333632008-05-11T13:32:00.000-07:002008-05-11T13:32:00.000-07:00Carolyn I have never seen those shows, so I have n...Carolyn I have never seen those shows, so I have no idea why she looks so familiar but thanks for the info. I guess from the popularity of those shows you are no watching them alone so don't be embarrassed, my reality shows have to relate to property and I will then watch anything! :)softintheheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01365562754859033869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2556649857259211758.post-60144054282141597902008-05-11T11:22:00.000-07:002008-05-11T11:22:00.000-07:00Okay.

Looks like nobody watches that show but me... (should I be embarassed?)<BR/><BR/>Apparently she has a cookbook out now.

Thanks for the advice, photographer is one of the next things on the list, I will bear in mind what you say and pass the advice along. PS: I will take a photo of the "bully".softintheheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01365562754859033869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2556649857259211758.post-6636323109970508902008-05-10T13:17:00.000-07:002008-05-10T13:17:00.000-07:00Ohhhh Ahhhhh!

Take a picture of the green and white variegated ground cover and send it to me. My mom knows almost every plant known to man and would surely be able to identify it (did I mention I grew up in Ontario - so she'll even know the stuff from around your way).<BR/><BR/>As for your daughter's wedding. How incredibly exciting. The vineyard looks like a positively idylic place to have a wedding. Beautiful choice. I know you weren't asking for advice, but I can't help myself. Balazs and I had a very small wedding with relatively little expense. My mom and I made my dress and we did almost all the cooking. The reception was in my mom's living room. It was an incredible day that I'll never forget. I've helped many friends plan weddings and the only advice I ever give is to <B>spend more money on the photographer</B>. Our photographer was just so-so and lost some of our negatives. It was a huge disappointment that we don't have better photos of that day. Luckily we have a handful of great ones, but I wish I had more. So this is the only advice I would give. We don't remember what we ate and million other details, but I do look at the photos from time-to-time and wish they were better...<BR/><BR/>Anyway, enjoy your day with your daughter. And Happy Mother's Day!Carolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04340061182737906221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2556649857259211758.post-92211227137670708362008-05-10T09:41:00.000-07:002008-05-10T09:41:00.000-07:00Hey!!
