Not Engaged Yet

Changed Wedding Plans...

So....if you haven't heard yet...our wedding plans have changed.  As much as we'd both love to take our Colorado trip and elope there, the finances just aren't going to allow it with me having been out of work so long and now FI being out of work. 

Tell me, what do you girls think about this place...

(if you don't feel like going to the link, here are a few teaser photos...












We're thinking of having the ceremony there (still doing the "elopement" ceremony with just us 2) and then going somewhere for the weekend.  I spoke with the coordinator there this morning and they provide the officiate, we can get there 45 mins before the ceremony and stay an hour afterwards for photographs or anything we want - for only $225! 

Oh...And  yes girls, we talked the other night and...I'M STILL A QUADIE!!!  We both agreed that although plans have changed we still wanted to stick with end of October Smile

    Jeter, it looks gorgeous. And for that price?! I almost can't believe it. Have you gone in-person yet? If you do that and love it, I say look no further.

    It sounds like it'll still be a simple, stress-free day. And you could stay in a nice hotel that night! Wink

    I'd drive a few hours to witness! I promise, I can keep a secret! *crosses heart*

    They can probably provide witnesses, though. I mean how else would anybody elope?

    Yeah, places with elopement packages usually do provide witnesses.

    ...not that I've looked or anything. />_>

    oh, really?  Cool.  I know that at NYC City Hall you have to bring a witness.  I didn't think of a place providing one.

    Jeter it looks beautiful! I'm sorry you won't be able to go to Colorado but this is really nice looking. Maybe you can do a first anniversary trip to Colorado instead. Also, YAY YOU'RE STILL A QUADIE!!!

    Thanks girls!! 

    Yes, they provide witnesses - which is the case for most elopements.  Of course it will be perfect strangers signing on our marriage certificate but I sure don't care as long as it's legal! LOL 

    No Jeana, we haven't gone and seen it yet- I think we're going to try and set up an appointment for either this week or next.

    I'm sorry that the Colorado thing isn't going to happen but maybe you could renew your vows on an anniversary someday there?
  • edited December 2011
    Wow so pretty, and what a great price!! I'd say go for it! :)
