Woot! Woot!
Such is the triumphant call of the shortcake-bird, proclaiming far and wide that:
ALL OF OUR VENDORS HAVE NOW BEEN BOOKED!
Because our budget was starting to show strain at its seams, we were planning to not have a videographer (insert sad face) - but after one email to an old friend in film school (now an actor) - we have an awesome videographer… for free! All we had to do was bribe him with food and access to the bridesmaids… 
After being dumped by the last one, we’ve secured a wonderful baker as well - Denise from Sweet Cravings in North Vancouver - thanks to the recommendations of smartl! Thank you!
Oh, and the cake?
Winning by a landslide was Option D:
Many thanks to everyone who voted!
Now that all the deposits are down, and everyone’s collective wallet is lighter….
I’m going to go and twiddle my thumbs.
Sigh. Only seven more months to go.
Congrats on booking the vendors…and for scoring a videographer. Usually, when the budget is bulging the coordinator and videographer are the first things to go, so well done!
woo hoo!!!!!
that must be a relief. relief i can only imagine at this point! LOL……
all i’ve got is a church and a contract on my reception site. haven’t signed it yet. still in review mode.
Woo hoo!!! That’s fantastic! And you have a beautiful cake!
“All we had to do was bribe him with food and access to the bridesmaids… ” Hahah!!!! LOL for Byron!

About Me: 1950's housewife sent to the future, reborn as crafting-obsessed, jill of all trades. I enjoy decorating, writing, baking sweet things, singing show tunes/dancing in public, wearing pearls, and knitting sweaters for my furbaby, Harvey, to chew upon. I heart pink, and believe that sparkles are the new black.
i’m so glad you were able to get a videographer. you won’t regret it. i really think it’s one of the most essential things to have for a wedding. you’re going to have that to look at when you’re old and gray. i love your cake too. beautiful!
