September 2012 Weddings

feeling blue :(

I'm so bummed. For those of you following my posts on FB, we're not having much luck finding a new site for our ceremony without having to spend a lot more than necessary. We're now less than 5 mos away so of course everything is booked; especially in this area where people book 1-2 years in advance for almost everything. I sent an email to Pastor as well as to his wife, who is the coordinator with a few other questions as well as a request to chat with him one on one. I never expected the spiritual struggles I've been faced with since starting the marriage prep and attending more services. Right now, it makes me sad that we may have to settle for having the service at the church. It's somewhere I don't even want to be but I guess as long I focus on FI and the marriage (not so much the ceremony), maybe I can find some peace with it.I am waiting to hear back from our reception venue in regards to using their sunken garden, but I'm not really keen on doing that because I don't want to spend the money, it's fully outdoors (no shelter) and I'm not sure how logistics will work with the tight turn around times at the gallery.

  • One of the first people I asked was my DJ and he had a lot of great suggestions. I contacted my DOC too and she said she'd send me something soon. They do know the "biz" much more than I do so hopefully they can help me out!

  • What happened with the beauuuuutiful place you posted on fb?  Was it booked already?  It really sucks that the church people didn't tell you all this stuff before.  Now your cute projects and beautiful programs will be a waste and it's just a shame.

    Yup, booked. 3 other weddings that same day :P

    We will not be doing it in the church now; not gonna happen. We have a couple options now... looking into them before making any rushed decisions.

  • The samething was happening with us. We just found our ceremony location this past weekend. It is at a private school which is very flexible .

    SO what I might suggest is looking at local parks or some of the private schools in the area etc- /I'm not very helpful, sorry :(
