it was $1500 for the tent due to the exttra costs of bringin food up and such...deposit was only $800.....i haven't had the best dealings with the NAC - due to a misunderstanding (i thought we had a verbal agreement and was waiting on the paperwork to sign) our original date was given to someone else (not so impressed but it's not like we needed that date so we moved on)...that was last summer - we booked probably just over a year ahead of time..hope this helps...i'll post pics after the wedding...

Where abouts are you located...i know out is orleans THE ATHLETIC CLUB is opening up a gym (not the same at the OAC)....i personally feel that $60 a month is too much...if you have a friend ask for a week pass that way you can see if you like the gym without the commitment. You might want to wait until after summer might find yourself wanting to do more outside....Ask if they have any promotions - sometimes they have don't pay any sign up fee or other times it's only $1 (hate to see how much it is normally)....in ottawa there aren't many options unfortunetly..best of luck...

if you don't feel comfortable change it...you look gorgeous and of course you would but if its not your vision and not what you like you are going to be self conscious all day. When I did my makeup trial I came home and my FH just said "it's nice, but not you" i don't wear any makeup and it was just a bit too much. he wants me to look like me when i walk down aisle. Best of luck

"A little-known amendment to Ontario's Highway Traffic Act will make the penalties for registering a blood-alcohol level between .05 and .08 harsher.
The drinking-and-driving portion of Bill 203 - the same legislation better known for ushering in the seven-day suspension and minimum $2,000 fine for driving 50 kilometres or more above the speed limit - will likely come into effect in late 2008.
Ministry of Transportation computers still must be programmed to record suspensions on driver's records.
Offenders blowing an "alert" on a police roadside test would still avoid a criminal record, which is federal jurisdiction. But for a first offence, they would face an automatic three-day licence suspension; for a second offence a seven-day suspension and a mandatory course on the dangers of drinking and driving; and for a third offence a 30-day suspension and the installation of a pricey ignition device which prevents a vehicle from starting until a driver has blown into it.
Perhaps worse, the suspensions will for the first time be listed on individual driving records - which means insurance rates could cost thousands more over the years for those caught, even on a first offence.
And all this happens from one roadside test."
found that on the MADD canada website...however i don't think the provincial legislation has changed to 3 days yet.

so i tried on my dress and whohoo it fits better than i was expecting....i bought it previously enjoyed and didn't even try it on before buying it. when i got it i tried it on and couldn't zip up the last 1"-2" - thru watching my diet and exercise i guess i lost enough to fit nicely into the dress..now it just needs to be hemmed...invites were sent out last week and replies have already started coming in...still lots to do..only a few months to go

i would say file a missing person report. it's really not a big deal if you do. an officer takes the info and then can file up on it. if you brother happens to come into any contact with police they can advise him that he has been reported missing and to contact his family if he so chooses. The report can just as easily be cancelled when you hear from him or see him....all the best to you during this time and hopefully he and his ex-gf just got away for a mini break to recoup

so i don't think my first post for this worked so here it goes again..but if it does repeat i apologize...
We are having our wedding reception in the rooftop tent and can't wait..the views i thought were great...i could not imagine a better way to spend a summer night overlooking the canal...the tent itself is gorgeous..on the nac website they have added pictures from a wedding there this summer. it was very simple decor wise but looked really good..i love the chandeliers...there are so many great spots to hold a wedding museum of civilization, war, aviation ..but i like the idea that the nac can do the catering on the spot minimizing the vendors i have to deal with......all the best with your decision...

here is one from a movie that i loved...on why people get married
We need a witness to our lives. There's a billion people on the planet... I mean, what does any one life really mean? But in a marriage, you're promising to care about everything. The good things, the bad things, the terrible things, the mundane things... all of it, all of the time, every day. You're saying 'Your life will not go unnoticed because I will notice it. Your life will not go un-witnessed because I will be your witness'.?
___________________________________________________________
Love is patient and kind;
Love is not jealous or boastful;
It is not arrogant or rude.
Love does not insist on its own ways;
It is not irritable or resentful;
It does not rejoice at wrong.
But rejoices in the right.
Love bears all things,
Believes all things,
Hopes all things,
Endures all things.
Love never ends...
So Faith,
Hope,
Love abide,
These three;
But the greatest of these is
Love.
