jaxie001 Posted May 15, 2013 #1 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Hey everyone, slowly working on back to reality after coming home from our wedding cruise, will start working on a review of the Glory and our contacts from St Thomas soon as I get thru the mountains of laundry lol Short form everything was perfect, The Glory is beautiful, crew were awesome, St Thomas is absolutely gorgeous, and we've already said we are definitely going back to stay for a few days. Photos from Elisha Orin are to take a few weeks to get to us but photos from family and friends are slowly trickling in to us, one things I wish I could go back and re-do ..............ASSIGN SOMEONE MY CAMERA!! never thought to do that, but the 12 other guests took lots of photos, just patiently waiting for them to get back to reality and real life as well so they can share them.

muah3iluvzu06 Posted May 30, 2013 #14 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Congratulations! We got married in St. Thomas while cruising the Glory in December 2012 with all of our family and friends and it was fantastic!! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaxie001 Posted May 30, 2013 Author #15 Share Posted May 30, 2013 So patiently waiting for my pics to come from the photographer but thought I'de start some of our May 8th Carnival St Thomas wedding review with pics of bouquets and such. Had the brilliant (?) idea to make my own brooch bouquet, after seeing a pic of one, and then seeing the price to have one made was sure I could come up with something.

jaxie001 Posted May 30, 2013 Author #16 Share Posted May 30, 2013 The flowers came from Michaels as well as tape and wrap, brooches came from old jewelry boxes, some from friends and some from ebay, I used ivory satin to wrap the handle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaxie001 Posted May 30, 2013 Author #17 Share Posted May 30, 2013 My daughter made hers as well and she used a blue hydrangea, I had told her she could pick any brooches she wanted as this was something for her to keep forever, she chose birds, with one octopus lol and wrapped the handle in blue satin.

jaxie001 Posted May 30, 2013 Author #18 Share Posted May 30, 2013 At this point I thought hey why not try making bou'ts as well...so made matching ones with some shells and small flowers one for my groom and one for my son... they both loved the chain! For a ring "pillow" we wanted different and since it was the Caribbean, what comes to mind but pirates and treasure chests....We bought 2 at a dollar store and proceeded to stain one and then wrapped foam with blue velvet with a cut thru the center for the rings to sit. Then added in lockets with pictures of our parents who have passed on, but this was our way of having them close :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bo59rt Posted June 4, 2013 #21 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Thank you!! Elisha was absolutely fantastic! She was so much fun pretyy much like hanging out with a good friend for the day!! Email her soon and see if she's on Island when your there, she does book up fast! I'm at the early stages talking to elisha about shooting my wedding. How long did you have her for and did you feel like it was enough time? Also did she stop at exactly the 1 (or 2 or 3) hour mark or was more casual about the time frame? im afraid that i will book her for two hours and then wish i had her for longer.

The ceremony was on the mountain so it made more sense to take them after courthouse and before ceremony for us. I wouldnt say she was punching a clock and was right around the 4 hour mark, she didnt seem rushed or anything, Highly recommend her, shes so friendly, and captured such personality and emotion from us all. So depending on where your asking her to take pics a d your travel time between you need to judge that part. Hope that helps some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
