Hey ladies. Hope everyone weathered Irene alright!
So we are down to deciding on our venue. We are going to do it at the Union at our university. It's a beautiful building. The room for our reception is actually right across from the billiards room, which is where we had our first date!
The issue is figuring out the day. We were looking in October 2012. We had kind of decided on the 13th (a Saturday). Then we realized it's a home football game day. Downtown Ann Arbor is a nightmare on game days. Especially parking. There is a structure behind the building that we could use, but it would take some major planning and/or extra charge due to the game day. The other option would be have people park for free farther from campus and have to hire a shuttle service. We don't know what time the game is at yet, so it's tough to figure out how it's going to be at what times. Also, I don't want to deal with a bunch of drunk students while we're trying to take pictures around campus (which would depend on what time the game is).
October 6th isn't available. There are home games October 13th and 20th. The 27th is my birthday, so I don't want to do it that day. Our other options would be doing it on a Sunday, which I'm not a big fan of, or pushing it back to November 3rd, which is an away game. We were hoping to have an outdoor ceremony (they have a beautiful courtyard), but we wouldn't be able to do that if we waited until November. The back-up room is pretty, but I really would like outside.
Anyways, here are some pics!
