The wedding will take place at Arlington Hall, the historic building in Dallas’ Oak Lawn neighborhood.
According to Dallas events plannerTodd Fiscuswho is also the organizer of the Romo-Crawford Nuptial, the wedding is set to be exciting and lively.
“They’re just really neat people, so I think the party is going (to) have an effervescent feel to it,” Fiscus told CBSDFW.com. “We did lots of man food. I have a lot of football players to feed.”
Fiscus’ weddings can run between $500 and $1,500 a person, and since the Romo-Crawford wedding is a high-profile one, it’s expected to cost around $7,000,000. (Source: CBSDFW.com)

The Guest List

“I’ve gotten special permission,” Jones told ESPN’sEd Werder. “But more than anything, (I got the) right ticket from him and his fianceé – Romo’s wife-to-be. (It’s) one of prettiest invitations I’ve ever seen,” he added.
According to the invitations, guests must arrive promptly at 6:30 P.M. because Romo has added extra security for the wedding ceremony. The invitation also requests that guests refrain from bringing cell phone cameras or other recording/photographic devices to the reception. This would seem to be an attempt to prevent unofficial photos from winding up on the Internet. The will stay at the Rosewood Mansion on Turtle Creek.

The highest priced gift Romo and Crawford are asking for is a $550 Dyson vacuum cleaner. Also in their wish list is the Wusthof 8-piece knife set which costs $399.99. The knife sharpener is a little bit more affordable at $19.99. Both the knife set and sharpener are available at Macy’s.

The Honeymoon
“This lockout has been quite a dent in the honeymoon idea,” Candice told WFAA-TV. “We’ll see. We haven’t really gotten there yet. We’re taking a day at a time with the lockout. We (are not) even sure if we’re gonna get to go (on) one.”
