uggh. Hi... I'm kind of new here, and starting to plan for the wedding on 9/22/12. We've been engaged since July 2010, but needed to wait a while.. just cause, LOL!!... I need to wait, but I think we are ready, LOL!!
Anyway, moving along with the church for the wedding... which was a surprise to me. We visited a non-denominational church chapel, and it just didn't do it for me.. I felt sad leaving, and realized I wanted to go back to my childhood church and see if we can marry there. Amazingly I think we can... still working with the deacon, have to join the parish, but my history is there, my father loved that church, had his funeral mass there, had my brother's funeral mass there, unfortunately alot of tragedy in my life as a kid, but nevertheless, loved my childhood and my town and that church is all part of it. So really excited that is working out for us.
Given that, I first wanted to just reserve a huge picnic grove and just have a mass picnic for the reception, but now I'm thinking otherwise.
We don't want to spend alot of money, but that's probably impossible if you want to have a reception inside somewhere right? I have no idea where to start... and the time is ticking. I guess I will start calling places today... but I think it's amazing how your wants change when you start planning, LOL!!
