Since we purchased our house in Poinciana, both our daughters decided to getmarried there. My youngest daughter got married 3 years ago and wanted the whistles andbells. She had the full blown wedding dress with millions of beads and a longtrail. It was beautiful but not really the sort of dress for the Floridaweather. We took advice from other people and organised a coordinator who wethought should have made our part easier, but unfortunately they were so laidback about everything they forgot to update keep us on how things wereprogressing. I constantly emailed them and called them, in the end I chased thecompanies direct for information! The wedding day itself was a lovely day and everything went to plan – whatplan! We are lucky enough to have made some lovely American friends since owningour house and their knowledge was extremely helpful. The day before the wedding I was still chasing for information re the cararrival time and where and when would the Photographer arrive. I was told thatI was a nuisance. Needless to say, I apologised for requiring this rather vitalinformation. We had privately booked a disco and a BBQ to come to our house for theevening. Not only did they turn up as arranged, but the food was excellent andthey also cleared up and took away all the rubbish – magic. Our first wedding finished and everyone was happy. My eldest daughter married in March of this year and we booked almosteverything in one area and without the use of a coordinator. She had a lovelydress, which we had purchased in the Florida Mall while my husband and herhusband to be sat in the Ale House watching about 20 screens of Americanfootball. By the way…. The Ale House is great, and within walking distance of the Mall– so everyone is happy. We had been to Florida the November previous and we had booked the cars,minister and music, photographer, hire suits, cake, disco etc. On arrival backin the UK we checked it out with our daughter and Son- in- Law to be and thenfollowed up their requests by email. I am very happy to say that it all went to plan and we knew exactly who wasarriving, at what time they were due. We organized a meal at one of the local restaurants The Roadhouse Grill onthe 192. (This is a favorite with my family). They were extremely helpful. They set the tables exactly to plan, laid our table cloths, name cards,balloons, gift and cameras. We had a lovely meal, everyone chose what theywanted to eat and it was served hot and all at the same time. Fantastic. Wecould not fault the girls who served us and the effort involved. The only thing we got charged was for the food and wine and the normal tip –no cover charge no rental charge no extras. We did leave a few dollars extrafor their as we thought the service etc wonderful. After this we went home and had a disco which my American friends helped usto find and buffet which my brilliant sister arranged. So if anyone would like any advise on weddings, I feel like I have beenthere, seen it and got the t shirt. Fortunately I only have 2 daughters! Page added on: 20 July 2004
