Hi ladies!
We're booking our venue this week (yay!!!!) and I wanted to check to see what I should look for or ask for in the contract. I'm well aware of the military clause, but do you have any specific wording you used or wish you had? Any other clauses I should consider? What issues would you suggest I make sure are spelled out?
I know I haven't announced an engagement - we've been talking for quite awhile, and realized that a lot of the venues were booking up and we have a very tight 3 week period of time when we can get married between law school and when he'll receive his orders to report for TBS. He asked my parents for their blessing last weekend, and they were delighted, and we told his parents that we want to get married and made sure the date was okay. So we're planning our wedding! I was all for calling us engaged now, since we have really made the decision to get married and started planning, but he really wants to buy the ring and have his proposal moment before we call each other "fiance" so I have a few more weeks/months before that happens. I'll be sure to AW then!
In case you were curious, this will be our venue:
