I'm not sure if anyone else mentioned this in this thread already but on the subject of skype I have an unlimited plan with skype to call Ireland landlines for only $6 a month. Only other thing that is used is my minutes in my cell phone plan but it is a local number for me to call. Does not include to mobile numbers though. There are about 40 other countries to choose from also. It works out better than using skype on my pc because the sound doesn't cut out like it does when using the computer.

Yes, it's the same plan I mentioned earlier that Wade and I are using. If you pick a plan that includes the US (requires the non-USC to be the one who calls) , you also get mobile numbers in addition to the landlines. I can call any cellphone or landline in the states for $6/month - it's such a great deal, and I honestly don't know what I would do without skype. :star:

I totally agree with you, the rates of the photographers that I found when doing a casual browse for them was pretty high. We're going to Ocean Shores for the wedding, and found a place where they arrange weddings on the beach. They also have an alternative solution should the weather be too bad, we can add a set of photos for 120 dollars as well through their photographer so I don't think that price is too bad?? Then again.. I am sort of clueless seeing how I am from Norway and everything is a lot more expensive over here. Wade is afraid I'll bring home mountains of food and stuff from the stores, thinking all the normal prices are actually discounts :devil:Look honey, I brought home 10 pounds of cheese! I'm sure it was on sale.

It's really nice of you to offer your services regarding the wedding pictures, you wouldn't happen to do family/children's portraits too? I'm going to look at your link now, lately I seem to be such a big sucker for all this wedding stuff :whistle:

Ocean shores is very pretty, i love the beaches there, they are huge! The picture on my profile of me and damo was taken on the beach at ocean shores.

120 is not bad at all. How many pictures does that include? Are they high resolution (how big of a picture can you print from them)? Will they allow you to print from the disk, or do you have to order prints from the photographer? Make sure there are no hidden costs there. Being a photographer, I know the ins and outs of hidden costs, its how we sometimes make most of our money I hate to say. Those are the questions I would ask. If there are hidden costs let me know and I'll give you guys a good deal.

This makes me smile and I feel quite giddy. I feel like I've gone to an amusement park and I'm in line for the best ride they have, and just before it's my turn to ride, after already waiting a couple hours, it breaks down. I decide I want to ride bad enough, I'll wait it out. An hour goes by, still closed. Another couple of hours, nothing. Then finally, when you contemplate how much more can you handle, they fix the problem and you get your turn. The whole line cheers with excitement and relief. You ride and decide the wait was totally worth it. May be a bit silly, but I love that "ahhh" moment.
