2 - Kelly, I think The Rockhouse was Mrs. Ant’s venue. I’m not sure. I think you should check back on her posts. She had so much info, and beautiful beautiful pictures.
Kara- I’ve heard Chadwick’s http://www.chadwicks.com has MOB dresses… however my mom didn’t really like them and still hasn’t gotten hers either… so I’ll be checking responses as well!
girl- you can give each couple one. my favors are albums that are acting as placecards and it’s one per couple. after all- what would a couple do with 2 ornaments that are the same right?
Kelly, your friend can also check the Destination Weddings board on theknot. It is a pretty friendly board and there are at least two people on it at this time that are prepping for Rockhouse weddings this year.
girl–I’m having my first dance tune shortened just because every first dance I’ve ever seen seems way too long; however, shortening tunes without making it obvious can take fairly mad skillz and expensive software. Ask your DJ “do you have ProTools?” If yes, then ask if he/she can take a chunk out of the middle. If no, see if there’s a good place to fade out. Or fade in! You don’t necessarily have to start at the absolute beginning.
girl - maybe you can have people join you on the dace floor after a certain amount of time, that way you and your dad can discreetly move to the side. You can probably work this out with your DJ, or arrange for family members, BP members to join you after 30 seconds or so.
Megan - they are kind of expensive, but check JCrew, they have some super cute wedges that look pretty etheral. 
Kara - have you tried the usual suspects like Nordstrom, Macy’s, etc? I’m in the same situation,a nd I think that’s where we’re goign to get my mom’s dress.
cka - it is TOTALLY fine to have white roses with an ivory dress. No one will even notice. I think it will look fab.
thank’s guys…the biggest issue with the dance thing is that we are having a band, but they are playing the song on a CD…I don’t think they can fade it…I may just try to contact a DJ to see if they have one already made 
oh girl, make the band learn your tune. How big is this band? I just found a piano-guitar version online for four bucks.
girl — couples/families living in the same household should be able to share an ornament.
About the song, the DJ could pre-edit a version to skip the middle verse or extra repeats of the chorus. Also, you don’t have to start dancing on beat 1. The DJ can start the song, and you have some time to find your dad. Another idea is that by verse 2 or so, have someone else dear to you (brother, uncle, grandfather, new hubby) do the gentlemanly, “May I cut in” which would be very sweet and also give your dad a graceful chivalrous way to promptly hand you off to the next dance partner (or the first in a series — dance a verse or so with each male relative who has special meaning in your life, ending with your husband).
Sarah, you are too sweet. Hey, you never know whose idea will work for whose wedding, so we all toss ‘em out there!
girl - I love them! I do not think they are a waste of anything. I would be super excited to receive that as a favor! I think one per couple is best! Congrats on an awesome idea!
Megan- Check out Jack Rogers sandals! I live in them all summer because they’re so easy to dress up or down. If I were having a beach wedding, I would definitely rock a gold or silver pair. (nordstrom.com or jildorshoes.com)
Megan: Check sandalworld.com. Lots of choices. I am getting married at the beach on grass & will choose one of the Mystique sandals. I saw them at Bloomingdales & they look even better than online.
I was wondering if anyone knew of good makeup/hair people in LA. I posted this question awhile ago but I only got 1 good Orange County makeup artist. I’d like them to be in LA so I won’t have to pay a travel fee!
Megan: I second jcrew.com I bought a pair of ivory satin ballet slippers they do not look cheap!
I have a question! We are hoping to save some money on our honeymoon, and I was thinking of getting a frequent-flier miles credit card (and earn miles on daily purchases, etc). But looking into it, it seems like you have to spend a TON of money to even earn a cheap ticket! Does anyone have any experience with this, or have any advice for me?
girl - You can do one per family/couple. I’d have a few extras though just in case. Also, I’d suggest not putting your monogram on the inside. Instead I’d put a quote, verse or cute saying.
does anyone know if there is an online retailer with better prices for party supplies for the receptions (nicer plastic cups and plates specifically) than if i just go to a place like GFS or Sam’s
