Hi everyone! (Sorry this is so long.) I've been engaged for almost three years now, and have had three different dates set. First we were thinking about getting married July 6th, 2012, but we put it off because we did not want to be married and still in school/living with FI's parents. Then we were going to get married April 6, 2013, went ahead and made all of our deposits and everything, only to find out in August that I was expecting. I kept avoiding cancelling the wedding because I was hoping that things would work out to where we could still afford it, but finally went ahead and cancelled with all of the venders a few weeks ago.
The event coordinator from our venue got in touch with me and told me that we were legally responsible for 25% of the original wedding (I thought it was just the deposit.) Or they could work with us to try to bring the cost down. After meeting with her and discussing our options, we will be getting married July 6th of this year, and since its an afternoon reception instead of evening, the guest list minimum went down, and the price per person went WAY down. We also plan to use an iPod instead of a DJ, and only have a 3 hour reception, which I think would be okay since its in the afternoon. We will also not be providing alcohol. Our families are not big drinkers, and again, its an early afternoon wedding, so I doubt this should cause any problems.
Anyway, its been an exciting year for us, we got our own place, I graduated with a bachelors degree in elementary education last month, our baby is due April 20, and we will still be able to have a gorgeous wedding, with the anniversary we originally wanted! I just wanted to say hi and introduce myself. Since I have been out of wedding planning for a few months, I was also hoping to find out where everyone is, I don't want to be too far behind!
