Posted Tuesday, July 28, 2009 6:06 PM

Knot Name: Threemarie24

Wedding Date: March 4, 2010

Knot Annie: Tell me about the Knotties on your board that you post on. Have you ever joined them for a GTG?

Threemarie24: I’ve been active on the MN board since our engagement in September 2008. I posted every once in a while, mostly just looking for great ideas, and oh boy did the MN Knotties have them. I was a little shy about actually getting out and meeting fellow Knotties, but over the last few months, I’ve became really active online. When Knot Annie posted that she was hosting a GTG locally, I had to jump on the bandwagon! Thankfully I did because everyone is just as nice in person as they are online. I’ll cohost another local event, a DIY/wine event mid-August!

KA: Describe your wedding.

Threemarie24: After a few months of loving one idea then changing my mind every other day about a completely different vision, JJ, my fiance, and I sat down and had a heart to heart about what we wanted. We both decided Las Vegas was perfect for us. The ceremony is taking place at The Terraza in MGM Grand; it’ll be an outside ceremony. The location is what we both envisioned: tropical and intimate. After a classy ceremony, we’ll be kicking up our feet and heading to the APEX Suite in Planet Hollywood. This 2,300-square-foot suite has a breathtaking view of the Bellagio fountains. We still wanted to be introduced as a couple and have the first dance and speeches. Las Vegas is exactly what we needed to have a beautiful ceremony and a party atmosphere reception…Elvis might even make an appearance!

KA: How have the Knotties on your board helped you plan?

Threemarie24: After deciding on Las Vegas I knew exactly where to look…the Las Vegas board! The amazing Knotties that have been married as well as the upcoming brides have already researched everything a bride would ever need. One item in general, our reception location, the APEX suite in Planet Hollywood, isn’t advertised. I would never have found it if it wasn’t for 6to8. Thanks to her, we now have a perfect location for our Vegas reception.

KA: Favorite bio on The Knot and why?

Threemarie24: Ha! I kind of rolled this question into the last question.

KA: Best vendor that you’ve worked with and why?

Threemarie24: Since all of my vendors are long-distance, all I can judge them on would be their customer service, and they’re all amazing!  As of right now, the top two vendors that stick out to me are my wedding coordinator and my photographer. Wedding coordinator: Julie Lyford (FabulousFunctions.com). She’s hands-down the easiest person to get along with. Thankfully she was able to let me change my mind a handful of times; she researched whatever it was and never let her frustration show when I told her I had already changed my mind. When I was able to cement Las Vegas, she went there to scout everything out, make sure the places lived up to their pictures, as well as check out a few extra ideas I never would have thought of (Elvis singing at our reception).

Las Vegas Photographer: Todd (WilsonPhoto.20m.com). Todd is a photographer GOD down in Vegas; he’s amazingly cheap with outstanding quality. His motto is: “Exceptional photography doesn't have to be exceptionally expensive.” Thankfully the Las Vegas Knotties were able to let me know about his artistic ability and breathtaking work. I’m one lucky girl to have Todd take our wedding pictures!!

KA: What will make your wedding stand out to your guests, and where did you find the inspiration?

Threemarie24: Well standing out in Vegas is fairly hard to do, but that’s what I love about it: You can show off your personality! Every single wedding reflects exactly WHO the couple getting married is. While we might not make the cover of a wedding magazine, we’ll have our friends and family at our side when we say the vows that will reflect our unbinding love for each other, and that’s our inspiration.

KA: What are you looking forward to most on your wedding day?

Threemarie24: I’m really excited to be a Mrs. It’s not just our wedding day, but it’s the marriage I look forward to the most. It’s the day I marry the man of my dreams, the next chapter in my life. I look forward to letting my dad give me away, letting go of my maiden name, and becoming a wife. (Yup, I am crying!)

Thank you so much Threemarie24! You wedding sounds so fun and I love that Elvis might make a guest appearance. It was great to meeting you in person at the Knottie GTG, btw!
