SO I have been engaged for almost a year now, and am finally starting to plan. The thing is we are thinking about trying to have it in April 2010 and I know that is extremely soon. I was wondering if anyone out there had any good/unique/different ideas on where to hold a wedding and reception in Bakersfield. I would like both the ceremony and reception to be at one place and I am looking for something that has great photo opportunities. In addition we are on a massive budget since my fiance and I are paying for this wedding and at the moment I am not employed....darn state of California...I was a teacher!!
