I HEART My Photographer!!

Yes, I realize it is past 2 am EST but I think it was the Turkish coffee that Kristine gave me that has kept me up. I'm slowly starting to feel the vestiges of sleepiness at the edge of my mind but until then . . .

I've been meaning to post this but only got around to it now. So, I came home the other night from a long day followed by a flag football game in which we lost but I caught the ball. I was tired and hungry and I couldn't park right outside of our apartment and had to park a few blocks away so I was pretty crabby as I walked into the door last night. The first thing I see when I walk in is this medium-sized box on the floor. Ryan goes, "You got a gift and it's not from me." I'm puzzled and the label says that the package is from wine.com. There is a shipping label with a miniature note attached so I tear into that first and discover that it was from Srinu and his wife, Amy, basically giving us well-wishes and thanking us for the opportunity. It was such a personal gesture. Inside was a gift basket with some red wine, cheee, crackers, seasoned almonds, and Ghirardelli chocolate! It looked something like the one shown below but it had less stuff but the basket was exactly the same and everything:

That was probably like the first time in this whole wedding-planning process that I didn't feel like 'just some other bride.' It can be a fairly impersonal wedding-planning world even though everyone touts that they personalize. So they've definitely raised the bar for the other vendors we will eventually end up booking in the next year or so. I really appreciate what the Regeti's did and am even MORE excited to work with them. Ryan was really impressed with the gesture as well. They really help make me think that I've made the right decision with booking them. I'm sure I won't be disappointed . . . .
