Hi ladies!
I just wanted to post an intro thread, and hopefully get to know some ladies around the area that understand what I'm going through with all this madness!
My name is Amanda, and my fiances name is Chris. He has been my best friend for almost 10 years now, and we've been dating for a little over a year. We are getting married 03/31/11. We were originally planning a destination wedding in Key West, but after some planning issues and frustrations, we decided to move it home to Phoenix area. I wish I had just looked around here first, as I've found a TON of amazing venues to check out. Too many imaybe, as we have a busy busy week next week.
He's out of town on business a lot, so planning tours and meetings is difficult sometimes, and I don't really know anyone else in the area to run around with, since I moved down here to be with him.
We are trying to keep the budget as low as we can (hoping to stay around $3-4k for ceremony & reception), so we can focus more on things that will last more than one day. LOL Our main priorities for our budget are the photography/video, and honeymoon.
I have my dresses (doing a dress change for reception) bought and paid for, a list of about 8 venues to check out next week, and pretty set on who I want for photography. Everything else is up in the air!
Our colors are going to be purple/silver/white, and we should be having around 50 guests. 15 or so of those may be under 14 years old, and just about all of them will be coming from out of state (NY and Ohio mainly, one from Alaska!). It should be an interesting day for sure!
So, that's a bit about me... nice to meet you! Did I miss anything?
