We have our wedding date and our location!

Hello my lovelies!  The most recent update is that Jorge and I found our wedding location!  We will be getting married in downtown Chicago on FRIDAY Sept. 13, 2013!!! Yes, Friday the 13th!  I love the date and we are totally not superstitious.  The pics I have included are what the location looks like and I know that we will have some AMAZING pics being that we are in the heart of the BEST city in the world! :) 

Wedding Theme

Hi dolls!  So, I have been fighting Jorge since we got engaged on what our wedding theme should be.  I really wanted to incorporate hot pink and zebra print!  Of coarse he argued that zebra print was not a color and hot pink was too girlie! :(  Somehow I know I will add these to either my bridal party or bachelorette party!

2 ideas that we both agreed on are a vintage hollywood theme wedding.  What does this mean?  Not sure yet but I managed to convinve him with these images I got from google. 

The second theme isn't really a theme.  I think it's just a colorful theme.  We like both ideas and while the vintage feel is classy and classic the second theme is fun and bright.  Some images we found are these which were also found on google.  The nice thing is that I would be able to use hot pink in this theme!  In the very beginning I had suggested blue and hot pink and he vetoed that really fast!  Let me know what you guys think!

Looking for a Photographer

OMG!  This is probably one of the scariest parts so far!  I never thought that photography would be so expensive.  It almost makes me want to give everyone a disposable camera and say, "Go buck wild!"  I think that what is a bit overwhelming is that I am unsure of the work.  There are many websites that offer samples of there work online but then you have a trillion calls a day coming in from that company only because you viewed their work!

I really hate having to deal with the constant calls and I get that people are really trying to push their service because it means more business on their end...they are really repelling me because I hate the pushy sales pitch.  I am asking you guys to help me out with this!

I had this idea that perhaps I could get some things  sponsored for my wedding.  That doesn't mean that I am willing to sacrafice the intimacy or my wedding...it just means that momma wants to save some money and help a business grow by offering exposure!

On that note, if you guys know anyone in Chicago who would be willing to donate or offer a deal on their services and time plese have them contact me at Escobar.N.Avila@gmail.com.  

Thank you guys and stay tuned for my next idea!  By the way...have you voted???
