I know it is probably so frustrating when you do all of this planning and it isn't perfect though.. However, I'm sure it was all beautiful and everyone had a wonderful time! xoxoangsamphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10822184010452993276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-728010007756300312.post-3989696143879465942011-10-23T13:44:13.169-05:002011-10-23T13:44:13.169-05:00The best thing about a wedding day is that it'...The best thing about a wedding day is that it's just a day. <br /><br />I loved loved LOVED planning my wedding and went into each detail so thoroughly I thought nothing could go wrong. But like you, had stuff go wrong and had to dive into worrying about things that I shouldn't have. But luckily with all the pre-planning the mistakes weren't noticed by anyone but me. <br /><br />Key West is so so fun! I stayed at a GREAT boutique hotel (but still well priced!) when we went for our first anniversary and can recommend a few things if you start planning a trip there!Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05543748212578351939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-728010007756300312.post-17329063057580636212011-10-20T17:37:50.054-05:002011-10-20T17:37:50.054-05:00Glad to hear you enjoyed your day but sorry to hea...Glad to hear you enjoyed your day but sorry to hear about the bad things.. <br />This will be exactly me on my wedding day, I will look around and notice all the little things.

I had a very similar situation with my florist-it's not fun to be let down on your big day. If I had it to do over, I would and would have hired a more expensive wedding planner/day of. I wanted everyone around me to be relaxed at low key, but if you want everything executed correctly, you have to have at least one crazy type A+ person around-ha!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986564685493883464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-728010007756300312.post-78842944014976630902011-10-20T14:25:05.295-05:002011-10-20T14:25:05.295-05:00I'm sure your day was just beautiful!

We went to the Keys for our honeymoon and it was fun... but seriously we got so dang bored! There was not enough to keep us busy for the five days we were there. We had planned on fishing but it was roughly $500-700/person for a half day of fishing unless you went on a party boat. We tried to go snorkeling but it became windy which means dangerous so all the places closed! We couldn't kayak, snorkel, fish or anything else. The whole Keys shut down. We couldn't even lay out on the beach because there is no beach. If you can afford to stay at one of the resort places then they have spa services etc. Of course if you are wanting to go for the partying etc then you will have fun. The day we drove down to Key West everything (shops etc) closed at 5 PM because that is when all the bars start opening up.katie lakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06901592998698545998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-728010007756300312.post-56096637530158278202011-10-20T06:53:24.866-05:002011-10-20T06:53:24.866-05:00I'm sorry things didn't work out perfectly...I'm sorry things didn't work out perfectly... and also that you're probably the only one that noticed!

That's one thing that I wish that I had done - been able to just take a deep breath and enjoy it! Oh well, the end result is what counts :-)<br /><br />And Key West is so fun! We did a 2 week holiday there a few years back and I had SUCH a great time. Definitely consider it, and if you do go, you should do an ocean kayak tour. The one that we did was nice because it also included a full-day sailing cruise and snorkeling, food + drinks... now you've got me wanting to go back there! The one downside about Key West is that it's not a great place for just laying out on the beach, if that's your thing. Most of the shoreline is pretty rocky, but there's plenty of pool space. And now I've just realized that for all I know, you've been to KW and probably know all this anyway!<br /><br />Congrats again :-)Jenny @ Practically Perfect...https://www.blogger.com/profile/12590373823861775665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-728010007756300312.post-34282837217005412972011-10-19T21:09:47.082-05:002011-10-19T21:09:47.082-05:00I'm so glad everything worked out in the end -...I'm so glad everything worked out in the end - your picture that you posted was beautiful!
