The contracts for our venue have been signed, and the deposit has been made! YAY!
I'm so excited/relieved that this big part of planning has been checked off!
Our venue is Rick's Chophouse/The Grand Hotel in downtown McKinney. We will have the ceremony and reception there, they will provide all of the food and alcohol, we will be staying there on our wedding night, and all of our OOT guests can stay there as well (well at least for the night of because some butt-head booked the entire hotel for the two nights before our wedding).
I owe so many thanks to all of you ladies for your wonderful advice!
