I'm just starting on trying to plan and the first thing I wanted to do was get my venue. Well, I'm still going to try, but it looks like they are completely booked. So now I need to at least have some backups if I can't make it work. I'm wanting the ceremony and reception to be held at the same place.
Every place I look at seems crazy expensive or . . . well kind of boring. I thought the place I wanted was expensive at $750 but it looks like if I could have gotten it, it would have been a steal. I'm not completely set on the October 1, 2011 date, but I also don't want to be freezing cold or sweating to death. The venue I had picked out was totally perfect, different, what I've been dreaming of since I first visited (totally un wedding related) over 5 years ago. I'm half tempted to push the wedding off another year, but I think my mother would have a heart attack.
