July 2012 Weddings

Our venues!

Yesterday morning, FI FINALLY saw the ceremony and reception venue we had been planning on!! And he loved it! I'm so relieved. Now the next step is to contact the owner and sign a contract, and he's actually wanting to take care of it pretty soon, lol I'm so proud! No worries though, the owner doesn't have anything close to even booked for next July yet so we're still good.

Turns out the whole problem with FI and being stubborn with visiting vendors and such that I had mentioned before, seems that he has issues with doing things out of order. While we were still deciding on the venue, I figured we could save some time and start researching photographers and other vendors but he wasn't up for  it whatsoever. After LOTS of discussion he finally managed to understand/ express his actual problem with the whole deal. *rolls eyes* Men sometimes. And remember when I brought up doing tastings so we could choose the caterer since we have to book the venues through them? And he said it was wayyy too early for that?? Well last week he was like "Hey why don't we do start doing tastings so we can choose the caterers and book our venue?? We should be doing that soon." Hahaha I wanted to pullll my hair out! Then I kindly reminded him that that is exactly what I told him months ago, he just says "Oh. Really?? Hmm." Hahaha! Gotta love him! :) 

Sorry this got long, it wasn't supposed to be haha. Just wanted to say it seems that we're making some progress, baby step at a time, so I'm really glad and relieved. Thanks for listening! :)

    That is awesome! Congrats! Pics?

    My FI didn't want to make any decisions until we booked the venue either. I looked at hundreds of venues online and he got so tired of me showing him venue after venue. The first place we looked at both of us loved and he put the deposit down and signed the contract within a week! So trust me, when they're ready to act on something, they do.

    Hahahahaha! That's hilarious. He kept quiet for a bit.. hopefully that's what he was thinking haha ;-)

    Meagan, you're totally right. Some seem to have a strange way of working through things, that I had no idea about. But he's starting to come around a tiiiiiny bit more. Just a while ago, we were watching TV and he disappeared for a bit to get on the computer. When he got back the first thing he said was he's beginning to think he might want a groom's cake. Huh??? was my reaction lol. Now that I got on a few mins ago, I found my bookmarked link to The Knot open, on a section of Real Weddings groom's cake! Hahaha! I didn't even know he knew how to get around on TK lol!!
     
    I had trouble finding good pics of it, but the venue looks like this:

    Congrats, Nati! Guys are so silly sometimes *facepalm* My FI goes in strange fits and bursts with wedding planning. He'll go from not wanting to do anything or being interested in planning AT ALL to wanting to book a bunch of consultations for stuff at once. It's wiplash-causing. haha.
